Wait, I thought that alternate skins show up correctly in cutscenes this time

Rocksteady had 99% of their cutscenes in-game. Since this was handled by WB Montreal, they probably have pre-rendered (in-game) cinematics. At least for the opening. That would explain the model swap.

I got this the day it came out but I haven’t gotten to play as much as I would’ve liked so I’m around 60% completed with the game right now. I want to hit 100% right as I beat the story so I’m taking things slow and only doing story missions when there’s no other side content available.
In the story, I just
The only thing I’m not looking forward to is finding all the Riddler trophies before I beat the game but I just do those in chunks while I’m watching TV and then if I need a break I do some more of the campaign so I don’t burn out.

beat Harley and the 3 Joker clones in the movie set and I absolutely loved that whole mission segment. Before I left I got a bunch of new side missions so I’ll be working through those before I go after Scarecrow again.

Well here's a cutscene a little further in and it's combat Robin. I don't know what's going on X__X
It seems like
1) initial cutscene is pre-rendered
2) in-game stuff is whatever costume you've chosen
3) this particular cutscene you mention happens to be real-time

i'm still waiting for a Dick Bats skin
Then you can have Dick Grayson as Nightwing, Dick Grayson as Nu52 Robin, and Dick Grayson as Batman.

Weird... That transition was super jarring. I honestly thought it was some weird Scarecrow thing and I was seeing 2 Robins.

That new grey/black skin closely resembles the DickBats suit.
I'm going to change Tim's suit in the DLC to Nu52 so I can pretend it's Dick and actually have this story make some sense.

The final cutscene of the main game does the same thing.
The few times Batman removes his cowl in the game if you have an altcostume on the cowl stays on with his hair just clipping through the cowl.

About a hour to beat it and collect everything.

Dick Bats was one of the skins found in the placeholder files in PC version.
Actually, I'm pretty sure that skin next to the 1970's suit in the OP picture is Dick's Batsuit.
Oh..hmm. Not sure that's worth $7 to me.
So Harley Quinn's Revenge pt 2.

Wow, ps4 had a 3.5 patch yesterday and batgirl is another 3.4 or so today. Was hoping today would just be a quick unlock file or something -_-
Probably won't grab this game so here's the E3 experience skin. First to quote can have the code.
No thanks.

jesus I ran over to my couch thinking I'd be able to play this in a few minutes, even if it's a 3.4GB on top of the update from yesterday.
Nope, PSN doing as PSN does. Shit download speeds.

I already had the update from yesterday downloaded. The DLC is an additional 3.4 GB on top of the 3.7 GB from yesterday. My internet is fast enough that I should be able to download this much in a few minutes, not 6 hours.

Yeah, that's a bummer considering how glacial PSN download speeds have been for me lately.

So how exactly do I nail a line launcher takedown? I can never get Batman to do it.

Uh so slight Batgirl dlc spoiler,
Harley says "careful boys, she was trained by two of the toughest crimefighters in Gotham". Batman and... Nightwing? Batwoman?

Flashpoint skin is kind of awesome.
Simple: a goon needs to be in your path when you're crossing over. Once you get close to him, you'll get a prompt
watch here at 7:28
In the comics:
Robin in stuff like Batgirl Year One. They have a relationship too. But it was Dick Grayson, the first Robin. Arkhamverse seems to favor Tim Drake as Barb's love interest, as Dick is apparently older

Its hilarious how obsolete the Line Launcher became this game.
If it weren't for that one Riddler Trophy, it would be practically useless. It's never used at all, gliding/diving is faster, there are so few indoor sections, etc.
Also the fact you don't use it, it means that everyone has to ask about that Riddler trophy.

I remember there was one trophy at the back of the room that was blocked off by a bunch of red Riddler pads and I thought "this is it line launcher, now's your time to shine"
nope, can't use the line launcher there. You're supposed to glide over the pads. gg rocksteady
My immediate thought is Jim Gordon ... but that wouldn't make any sense for

I'm thinking about getting the game, but I have a question that I'm hoping someone might be able to answer. Are you able to run around as Robin or Catwoman? Nothing in the main story, obviously, but I kind of want to just explore the city.

Nope, just Batman.

If you somehow get the broke-ass, delisted PC version, there's a mod that lets you run around as those characters in the open-world. If that's good enough for you (with inconsistent character voices), then there's that.
Not in any official capacity though
Ah man that brings back memories of that particular trophy too. Hahah man, damn did the LL get shafted. I started replaying more AC challenge maps recently and damn if the LL isn't fantastic.

Thanks, I got the trophy. 4 more until I get the platinum.

These Batmobile challenges drive me up a f'n wall. I'm stuck on Road Rage and I really have no clue what the hell I'm doing. Am I supposed to drive into them? I can't shoot them for whatever reason, but driving into them just pushes them around half the time. It promotes sliding into them, but I've found that damn near impossible since none will actually drive next to me. Sometimes I can kill some, some times I can't, but I'm not exactly sure how I'm getting those kills and not others.

It's still useful for making makeshift perches though. there were a couple checkpoints where I couldn't disable enemy weapons without them spotting me untilI used it.
A boost-dodge will only sometimes take them down. The most reliable ways are three immobilizers (missiles), boosting into them (from the side or head-on is almost always a KO) or checking them into buildings while they're at full speed. It's kind of luck based. Try to stay in bigger areas (don't go into tunnels).
It's really few and far inbetween out in the open world because you need a wall on each side. I never had an issue with weapons at checkpoints because you either needed the Batmobile to do the trick (all guns + cannons) or it was just a few guns so you just dive in and CC the guns.
You can fire rockets, but those waste time if the chase drags on for too long. I'm a big fan of the sideswipe move, it pushes them into walls quickly and you can move on to a new target faster. I'd also start pressing O then to get a lock on the new target immediately.
What I hate about these challenges is that the amount of cars you meet is a bit random. One time I could be driving around and not see a single new car, but other times the streets are crawling with them. In any case, stay around the starting area, don't stray too far off.

Well yeah, I'm well versed with DC comics continuity, which is why I'm miffed they're pushing Babs/Tim. However,
probably based on just that they're pushing that, Tim must be relatively the same age as her I would guess. So, I'm going to say the other crimefighter was most likely Nightwing and he's probably been active under that persona for a good while in the Arkhamverse. If so, that's pretty cool that Dick gets some respect, I'm a huge fan.
Definitely wouldn't make sense, unless the writers screwed that up.

Thanks all for the tips, I didn't realize some of the side missions had to be "discovered". I guess I'm used to games throwing a mission marker in my face at this point
