I have a question: can you ever equip the (late game spoilers!)
skin for the batmobile?

I have that. There's a "?" in the middle of the selection screen. In the row with Anime Batman skin
I have the same problem on PS4. I think it might be a glitch and is the 1960's Robin skin that might of been caused by downloading the 1960's Batman skin.
I don't know.
Here's what I see with 200% completion...
That might be it. I don't have that.

Do I have to get all of the Riddler trophies to make Catwoman show up there?

I don't know. I didn't go back and check what was unlocking while I was playing. Sorry.

Just finished the game and loved it, but was a little disappointed that (late game spoiler)
Was still completely satisfied.
there wasn't a playable section in Arkham Asylum since it seemed like it might be going there.

It is only available when
Batman starts hallucinating
Start New Game + and it should become available after Ace Chemicals.

Oh shit, really?? Awesome. I started New Game+ but saw it was still unavailable. I'm right at that point though.

Yo, stealth missions driving a Batmobile suck.
I got past it eventually, but it sucked.

I actually found those more interesting that than straight-up tank battles. The stealth is the same as the on-foot predator gameplay as far as "sneaking" and attacking, then zipping away as others come to inspect the kill. It was refreshing to actually be the one being chased in the Batmobile, and by that time I knew how to drive it well, so it was exciting. The tank battles don't present much challenge and once you had the armor upgrades, getting hit isn't that big of a deal.
Though that dynamic is always fun for me no matter the gameplay, or even the game, honestly.
You can shoot the canon to distract them and lure them where you want.
On multiple occasions i've had tanks looking in my direction (although i was far enough for them to not lock on) shoot my canon right pass them into a wall behind them for them to immediately turn around and investigate. Easy pickings.
Thanks for the replies. One more question because im sadly done playing for the day but its bugging me. I just did the cloudburst battle but im wondering
Thanks
is the city dead now? I only glided around for a little bit before having to turn it off, but theres noone. Everyone is literally gone. Please tell me the rest of the game isnt like that.

Question I had about this game:
Are the Riddler challenges where you take pictures (or "scan" or whatever they call it) of iconic Batman+Villian stuff in this game?
They were in Asylum and City, but them not being in Origins was one of my biggest disappointments in that game since I really liked doing those challenges. It's a fun way of learning about some of the more obscure Batman lore.

I dont remember exactly but
after you beat the cloudburst I think everything should be back to normal or maybe one or two story missions after that! I could be wrong just cause my memory is a little hazy, sorry!

They're in here and they unlock little stories that you can read, helps flesh out things
I stopped doing the main story (I'm around 40% done) and currently focusing on the Most Wanted missions. It's been fun so far.
I finished Creature of the Night, The Line of Duty, and The Perfect Crime so far. Gunrunner is locked (I guess I hit a progression ceiling in the game for that). Still a ways to go, but I wanted to at least get through most of them before progressing further in the story.
Hmm, this is annoying. Apparently you need to be ingame to get the predator takedowns to count, since it doesn't register them if you load the challenges in the menu. Now I'm doing this, but one particular takedown I still need is the vent takedown.
But... ingame the vents don't appear anymore for me. I know there's one in the Terminal Velocity map, but it's just an opening now. Only when I load that map from the main menu do the vents spawn again. This is really annoying since I'm sure it's one of the final ones I have left. The only chance I have at getting this again is starting NG+ probably.
I can't find vents in any of the other challenges either, so this feels like a cruel joke lol

So that's why that vent appeared and disappeared for me. Weird that that doesn't come back consider everything that's destructible in the streets respawns.

Predator takedowns do track in AR challenges actually. If you need a vent takedown do the terminal velocity challenge (i think) it's the one with the turret gun in the middle with the one gatling gun enemy you need to take out with an environmental takedown.
I takedown people look over is the line launcher takedown. Make sure you do that too.

2 hours I would say, give or take
I know... I'm doing the AR challenges, but you have to load them on the ingame map for the takedowns to register, not in the menu. At least that's the theory going around as to why this trophy's bugging out for many people.
So I'm loading the challenges ingame, but it's just using your game world from the campaign, and that's where the vents have disappeared.
keltickennedy
Member
The vents are gone?
EDIT: I 99% sure if you load it from the menu it will still count. You sure that is the only takedown you are missing?
Oh man, the only dumb thing about Origins is the auto-detonate explosive gel upgrade. There's a reason it got taken out of Asylum. Totally ruins setups where you want to blow the wall on someone or stun more than one dude. If a thug walks by on the wrong side then the wall is wasted and they just get stunned instead of KO'd.
Well I'm just trusting this rumour/story I read, that says you need to be ingame. Because I've already done the takedown from the main menu, but nothing. I'm pretty sure I did all the other ones, but I'll maybe repeat some of the harder takedowns, see if that makes a difference. This trophy is bugged for a lot of people
this is what the guide on pstrophies says.

I would just go back through the list of takedowns. They're all in the "select" menu. I didn't remember ever doing a vent takedown, but apparently I did as the only takedown I had to go for was the line launcher one.
Pretty sure AR challenges count the moves too.
Probably a glitch, but that happened also to my AR challenge. Luckily, I was only missing the Line Launcher one.
Yep
Like I said previously in the thread. Make sure you either die or restart after each move. If you just exit, it won't save your progress.
keltickennedy
Member
Yep
Have you tried to see if you still have vents in the area where the Predator Fundamentals AR training mission is?
Yes there are. The only takedown you can't do there is the glass ceiling takedown.
Haha, I'm in support of this. I view a boss fight-less Batman in the same way I would a Metroid or Castlevania game with no boss fights. It should really be a part of the experience, and it just isn't here.
Yeah, all of the Two-Face stuff was a big disappointment (I'm not spoiler tagging his presence in the game, because he's in the intro cinematic). Same with Penguin and everyone else. I've already been in this argument with people on this thread, so I'm not going to get into it into detail again, but suffice it to say, no amount of "good" gameplay can make up for the COMPLETE absence of good boss fights.

Apparently for a lot of people, that's the case with Asylum
It was a bit better here as far as his characterization and dialogue though.
While I would've like some kind of hostage situation or other spin on it, I'm of the opinion villains like Two-Face should take any more hits than the average dude. Give him a different weapon or more dialogue, sure, but he should get taken out just like any other.
That's a great tip. Went back there, there were vents. Did that, but it actually popped immediately after I did the 'ceiling grate from below' takedown. I'm guessing I overlooked that one. Wish I remembered that fundamentals map, you can do a lot of different takedowns there.
Thanks for the help everyone. Only NG+ and 69 stars to do now.
Poor Two-Face, he fell down some escalator stairs. BATMAN VILLAIN

Damn straight. I suppose if you want to make it more climactic, you leave him for last in a fear takedown string as I did, but that's what happens when a game gives players too much freedom.

One thing all the Arkham games lack is a chase sequence while Batman is on foot, we kind of got one with Croc in Asylum, but after watching a few of the animated Batman films, there have been a few missed opportunities in these games.

There's no villain in Arkham Knight capable of chasing Batman, he'd beat the shit out of all of them.
Spring-Loaded

Where Batman was being chased? If not, there's a ninja chase in City. The on-foot speed isn't exactly fast in these games though.
WordsintheWater

True that, he is pretty bad ass. I also meant Batman chasing some villains down, like Arkham Knight. He's pretty capable I think.
Forgot about that chase scene. Meant both ways, I just think a little set piece chase wouldn't exactly do this series a lot of harm. For example, would have loved to see Batman chasing down the Arkham Knight rooftop to rooftop. Like once the sequence kicks off just have Batman move faster then he normally does. Would be a cool thing to play I think.

I'm about 75% into the main campaign, after the
, and this is seriously GOTY candidate for me.
The story is amazing,
as a
is one of the most clever things they did, the part where
was extremely well made and showed how screwed up
is.
The Batmobile is great also, really love driving it and the Tank is fun to control. It's amazing to take out 20 cars while there are dozens of lasers targeting you, and you're shootng and evading.
So far, a solid 10/10!

That would be great, especially out in the city.
I was hoping for something like the on-foot chase in Under the Red Hood in AK. There were a few villains in the game that could've provided something like that.
Somone on PC read the files of the DLC skins and here they are. Possible spoilers I'm pretty sure they are. Halloween Catwoman is back and so is Arkham City Nightwing as well.
