I got pissed off with the challenges.
The extreme ones are fucking annoying, with the exploding gargoyles, as there is no point having them (might as well just remove them as you cant actually use them in all reality).
What has really pissed me off is the fact that I have completed two predator challenges using only silent takedowns, and it will not recognise it in the trophies.

Oh, and last night, just for a laugh I loaded up Playstation Home, and set the Batcave as my living quarters.


Hah, no kidding! I've taken to just using the exploding gargoyles for distraction in stealth takedowns. The combos are tough especially in the Extreme challenges. I will get a combo started with three strikes and then I know the counter is coming but then I will get knocked out of the chain just random like. I don't see myself completing any of those 100%.

I have got some of the fighting ones with two bat medals, but just always seem to come up a lil short on getting the third.

The predator challenges are actually easier to get all three medals, as all you have to do is make sure you take at least 3 people out using the 3 methods specified.
The only ones that are tough are the ones in the extreme challenges, like explode three walls at once, with each wall taking out at least one bad guy.

Still getting pissed off with that silent takedown trophy, as I have now done that 4 times and still wont get that trophy for some reason.

Well I have now sussed out that the 100% game completion includes the challenge mode, not just the story.
As far as the ingame medals go for the challenges (not the trophies), I have managed to get all 3 medals for all the predator challenges, expect one, as its almost impossible to get the two that I have been trying to get.
As for the fighting challenges, I dont see me ever getting all three medals on some of them.

These challenges are really for true hardcore gamers, who take this shit seriously.

The Joker challenges are fucking hard as well, because you dont have the gadgets available to you like you do with Bats.
All you get is a pair of x-ray specs, which unlike the detective vision, cannot be left on.
You also get a pair of Joker teeth and a gun, but both are only good for one shot.
You can grapple, cant glide and have no way of doing most of what Batman can do.

Been trying to get all the challenges done, and get all the medals so I can get 100% game completion.
Managed to finally get all three medals a few days ago in the one Predator challenge that had me stumped, and am now trying to get all the medals in the combat challenges.
All I need is two medals (one in Shock and awe extreme and one in Rumble in the jungle extreme), but unless you can string together a really good freeflow sequence, you have no chance (Rumble is 50,000).
I was on a roll a few days ago, as I completed a whole bunch of the combat challenges one after the other, with some great scores, but those two just keep coming up short (I even got the perfect freeflow trophie, which had elluded me for ages).

Once I get those two medals, no only will it be 100% game completion, but will give me 100% trophies as well.

Well, finally did it.
Got the Rumble in the jungle one last night, and just got the Shock and awe one a few moments ago, meaning the game is 100% complete, and I have 100% of the trophies as well.

From what I have heard, the Scarecrow challenge is pretty weak.
Its probably not on the disc, its more than likely the same as all the add on challenges, the Crime Alley and the Joker one for the PS3, downloadable.

With the Crime Alley challenge, you get a code which you then have to enter on the Playstation store to redeem code and download the pack.
Its probably the same for the 360 Live as well.

Each code is one time usable so the only way to get it is to get the game from the shop in question, or search eGay to see if someone is selling an unused code!

I was kinda split on the Scarecrow design at first as to whether it was good or not, but the more I saw it, the more I loved it and thought that he should have always looked like that.

Yeah. There's a very good story here. The graphics and having the BTAS series Batman, Joker, and Harley going at it just makes it that much cooler.

The gas mask in the mask was a nice touch, but it's the fucking syringes on the fingers that make it bad ass.

I think thats why I think I was split on it initially, then realised how cool it was.
At first I thought it just didnt sit right, but the more I saw it and compared it to the comic book version, the more gay the comic book version looked.

The mask is fucking awesome, but the needle fingers kind of push him into Freddy Krueger territory.

I must admit I have never been a huge fan of Harley (the one in the Bat universe, not the one who used to post here), but for me, she was the star of this game character wise.
Joker was ok, but for me Harleys lines were just so much funnier.

scarecrow has always been shit. only the most recent BTAS look, where they introduced the true "hanged corpse" style, did he have the opportunity to look cool. undertakerish, even.

the games version is beautiful in its own right. the design resembles the BTAS world, but takes a few more logical leaps -- having a gas mask (which is a purdy scary look) makes sense to combat his own toxins, and the krueger-like "claws" as needles again makes sense, playing up the "broken scientist" mentality of the character.

very well played.
