[Melf]

Free DLC coming on the 17th.

More challenges?

[Rumpy]

No word yet, but that's my guess.

I want a 1966 batman model for challenge mode, complete with on-screen sound effects

Predator room question!

One of the checkmarks is to drop from above and then do a ground take down. Do you literally have to fall on them to get it? Doing a glide takedown (with x) is a no go and if I jump off and then glide to hit them, it doesn't count after I pounce on 'em when he's down.

Busting through a glass ceiling is weird too. I can't get it to activate consistently. Standing above and hitting Y doesn't seem to work, do you have to glide down to the glass and then do it?

ah yes I know that room

on the walkway toward the side (near the grate you come in from at one point up on the wall) there's a gargoyle right on top of a 90 degree turn on a set of steps leading into the area w/ the boilers, you can hang inverted on that and drop onto a goon for that takedown

the glass ceiling takedown (on the sides of the central room) really depends on if you can get yourself lined up with the goon underneath you, when you do the "Y = TAKEDOWN" popup shows up telling you you can do it

[Rumpy]

Figures, I never hang off of the gargoyles. Seems like the best way to get spotted.

[cka]

joker's hired help are fucking idiots and never see you on gargoyles unless you do some extraordinarily stupid shit like try to escape from them up there or do an inverted takedown on a group of them

edit: they actually see you up on them on hard mode, but on normal you are invisible on them

[Cowutopia]

snap, they see you on hard mode? Cool.

Inverted takedowns are awesome but you almost always get seen. I don't know how to get the achievement to hang one up and then use him to surprise another. Do you have to string him up and then cut him down later?

Also I'll never get a 40 combo. The hard part is keeping it strung when everyone is knocked down: don't knock them all down at once, I guess, and if you do knock one down do an instant takedown imo, because that will warp over, as opposed to the rt/punch combo which will whiff.

It's also incredibly difficult to get all the moves in one combo. What are they all? punch, counter, stun attack, combo batarang, combo batclaw, dodge, instant takedown, throw?

[Cowutopia]

I also want to know how Hero got 47 seconds on the first challenge. I can get upstairs, do a sneaky takedown on the guy in front of the exploding wall, hit it with gel, and be ready to blow it all very quickly, but for some reason they won't investigate the corpse if I'm doing it fast.

Or whoever Hiro Random is.

It's Soundwave!
