What can be said about the value of $\infty^\infty$?
Some of the main arguments regarding indeterminations like $0^0$ and $1^\infty$ involve the fact that different limit directions yield different results, in some cases only noticable via the complex plane. Are there similar arguments that can be used for this case, or is it simply $\infty$?
No, $\infty^\infty=\infty$. More formally:
I'll prove the case $a=\infty$; you can do others as an exercise. Firstly, though, note that theorems such as this are how we define $b^c$ when we're not sure what it is, in the way you're sure what $2^5$ is. There is no similar theorem to define $1^\infty$, as can be seen by considering the behaviour of various $(\exp 1/x)^{cx}$ for $c\in\Bbb R$.
Now to the proof. For large positive $M$, choose positive $N$ large enough that $\forall x>N(x^x>M)$, then choose positive $N_f,\,N_g$ large enough that $\forall x>N_f(f(x)>N)$, and similarly for $g$'s divergence. Then$$\forall x>\max\{N_f,\,N_g\}(f(x)^{g(x)}>N^N>M).$$
