Even if you miss the cameo, you can atleast fill in the bio by doing one of the riddles there.
I do that constantly to basically manage the group and separate them, which is how I played AA too. It basically makes the shock stick and knife guys no threat at all, and you make sure to not accidentally punch an armored guy. I focus on getting a big combo, managing the group to get a triple bat cape swipe off, then mantle over someone to refocus the enemies, then do a far ground takedown to make sure it's safe because that gives the best normal multiplier. I always use the armored guys for a beatdown because they give you a HUGE combo boost, which is the main way I salvaged my score on the last round after messing up.

Bleh, best way to do the combat challenges is just do weapon breaks and combat takedowns on armored guys, then just build up a big combo in freeflow focus and near the end with like 3-4 guys left use combat takedown to get a big bonus. I don't like to try to get a variation bonus since thats only like 5-6k even if you use EVERYTHING in one combo. It's really easy to mess it up if you're worried about using gadgets.
If you ever have a titan or Abramovici its really easy to build up a combo, take them down before you take anyone else down.
Well, actually ride a titan twice and build up a big combo, then take everyone else down, and still riding the same combo the titan take down is x100 to your combo so try to do him very last.
All in all if you do the combat challenges right you can do poorly on the first two rounds and I mostly get 3 stars in the last two or sometimes even the very last round. It's much easier than the first game, you had to do some amazing shit in the first game for the shock ground challenge and I remember rumble in the jungle extreme taking me hours to do.

You have to beat it on Normal or Hard to unlock NG+ (trophy/achievement for completing the story)
You have to beat it on NG+ for the achievement/trophy
You have to do 100% of sidequests in both normal and NG+ games to get Perfect Knight trophy/achievement

Explosive gel just hold LT + X in combat. Batman does a little cartwheel or whatever and drops some gel on the ground, then to detonate it you just press that again.
For reverse batarang, just take out the Batarang (or it might be the remote batarang, i forget which) and you'll see a prompt in the bottom right corner to hold RB for reverse batarang. It takes a few seconds to lock-on to the enemy (making it hard to do in normal combat) so jump on a ledge or something and then throw it at the dude.

They're DEFINITELY way easier now. I had to redo Shock and Awe Extreme a ton in AA, but I beat all the combat challenges here on my first shot except the first one that had a titan. If you just do normal takedowns and don't get hit a lot, the actual score you need is pretty low and easy to hit. Part of that is the gun racks in the maps never being used, it got demoted to a negative modifier for campaign challenges, which kinda sucks.
I liked playing for score though, and I usually get 3 stars on the second round just doing a bigass freeflow combo, with most of the people getting downed by a ground takedown. It takes longer but it's getting me near the top of the leaderboards, so it seems like the way to go for now. I don't do normal takedowns at all(especially on armored guys, they build your combo up), but I do weapon break sometimes, atleast on shields. Gadget variation doesn't mean much, I try to use a couple before I get to freeflow focus but once that starts you break it with a souped up gadget which isn't really worth it. I LOVE the batclaw slam though, I do that more than I probably should.

HELP!
Does anyone have experience with the "Damaged DLC" bug? Does deleting the DLC actually help, cause I read that even gamers who haven´t downloaded a thing for the game are being greeted with a message that tells them the DLC is damaged and then are being thrown back to the dashboard.

I'm getting wrapped up in the Batman universe, again. Got The Dark Knight Returns and Year One from Amazon yesterday. Liking TDKR so far. Can't wait for the Robin DLC. Not sure if I'll get Nightwing, though. I have about 360 riddles under my belt.

Fuck Top of the World Extreme.

It didn't bother me much, to be honest. I just concentrated onPapercuts said:
Two-Face, since I read here that the thugs would respawn
On the whole, I didn't think much of Catwoman's gameplay bits.

I didn't read up on anything, so I didn't realize what was happening until I already was playing for awhile and already took out 9 guards. Then I realized there was 6 more and that the game was seriously just refilling everything...then I died and it was all wasted. So yeah, it isn't THAT bad when you just go after Two-Face, but AWJKFDLASJFLKASJf.

Lol. I just had a funny glitch. On my new game plus mode, when you first go to the first catwoman episode, there was 2 perched on the building instead of one, very weird. Maybe I should reinstall the game.

Go back into your first game, not new game plus and find a spot to switch to catwoman. Then use your vision to find the 16? red shaded guys that are carrying your loot.

In the industrial district near the Joker's lair, there are two tall chimneys side-by-side with riddler pads on them (on the outer walls), both facing the same direction. How in the HELL do you hit both these pads?
