When you go back to the Steel Mill to get the cure back from Harley and Joker, Harley's tied up and gagged. Why? I didn't do that... so who did? Talking to Harley made it sound like we had a fight I missed
Endgame spoiler.
I too was kind of confused by that, I can only assume it was clayface who took the cure for some reason and never gave it to joker. Honestly the last section with regards to the cure and joker/clayface, is confusing as hell. Clayface has the cure, but doesn't give it to joker, who he's still working with. Also Talia is shot but batman carries out the body of his one true love the joker.
It kind of falls apart there narratively to be completely honest. Too many loose end tie ups/WHAT A TWIST without really explaining any of it.
About harley though, lets be honest, who didn't take the tape off her mouth and put it back on a couple times?
I did it like 10 times at least. It... it kind of turned me on. I mean.. I mean it did turn me on.
Sounds like Buddies always wanted to.

So Augmented Reality Training #3. How the hell do I do that one? It looks like four rings and I have to do the Dive Bomb through rings 1-3 but then ring 4 is above ring 3. Is this a gadget or move I get later?

Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.
I should have read that in the manual OH YEAH THERE ISN'T ONE
Learn to do this now, because there is a story mode mission that assumes you can do this, and if you are bad at it like I was, it was frustrating as hell.
I think so Skull, because I'm 60% complete with that side mission and I only did the necessary ones to unlock the sensuous grapple boost.

I didn't have an issue with the AR trainings. I cleared all of them but one on my first time. The one where you have to dive bomb and glide through the very small tunnel to the end took me a small bit to finally pull off but overall, they turned out to be easier than I expected.
So, is it the four AR missions, and then four more "Advanced" AR missions? cause the advanced ones are killing me, but I want the cheevo. Are these four the last of them?
Yes, and all you get for finishing the advanced ones is a cheevo. Well, and that 0.004 progress percentage.
Goddamn the AR missions suck. Absolutely no margin of error for the advanced ones.

They are the one side missions I don't have finished. I have done everything else in campaign mode. But those just taunt me. I think they will continue to just do that and I will leave them unfinished.

Wow, I didn't realize that so many people would have had trouble with the AR trainings. Interesting...
I don't think I had as much trouble with them as some people seem to be having, but the jump in difficulty was really jarring from the base missions to the advanced ones.

I actually beat my head against them for nearly a solid hour, because I kept hearing "do the AR missions ASAP!" Which is good advice, but they should have added "but don't knock yourself out on the advanced ones."

It was Talia. Watch the end scene again. She had the cure, not Clayface. Talia intercepted Harley before she made it back to Joker.
Wow, I didn't realize that so many people would have had trouble with the AR trainings. Interesting...
Yeah there was only 1 Advanced AR mission that took me more than 3 tries to get. I got the first two on the first try.
The one through the Joker mouth gave me the most fits.
The one through the train roof took me 3 tries.
Not sure if I have an advice on those, more that I maybe just got lucky, don't know.
Honestly if you just have more patience than freaking our after 1 try and failing they'll take you like 10 minutes to complete. Not really that hard. Just keep at it. If you failed it. You'll probably be able to finish it after just another good 20 or so tries.

The Joker mouth one was the only one that gave me trouble. It took me about twenty tries, but with patience, none of them are that difficult. Although I will agree the advanced ones require some fancy gliding, diving, and turning compared to the first two.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
Was watching videos of the DLC Challenge Maps and saw some interesting stuff:
Robin comes with two: A predator challenge called "Black Mask" which looks to be in a meat packing plant or something, and a combat challenge called "Freight Train." He also gets a challenge campaign that runs through both of them with a cutscene between them showing Black Mask flee the building and hop on the train and your character following him. The Freight Train combat map is unique for being a side scroller and also for having boss characters in it (Mr. Hammer and Black Mask both fight you during Round 4).
Next up is Joker's Carnival. It's actually unlike other combat maps in that it has no rounds. Instead it is a 3 minute survival match against infinite thugs. However, a meter builds up on the right side of the screen (activated by RB/R1) and it can give you bonus points and add time to your clock (giving more the further you let the meter build). Also this map has a hidden bonus where if you get a x100 combo, the Joker will join the fight and you get to beat on him as well.
Lastly is the Penguin's Iceberg Lounge map which apparently came with the collector's edition. I had forgotten about this one, and the video I watched wasn't terribly clear but it looked to function similar to the Joker map (ie. no rounds) except it did not appear to have a time limit or that little meter on the right. So I guess it's just a straight up fight until you die map. No idea if the Penguin can show up in the map, but both the other DLC combat maps have a boss in them so I'd guess he probably can.
Thus far the last two don't have release dates yet. It's possible they both come with Nightwing, but that'd be a little odd since Robin had a predator map and a combat map (both with the theme of Black Mask) so it'd be strange for Nightwing to get 2 combat maps with different villain focuses. Of course, if they don't come with Nightwing, when are they coming and are they coming with anything else?
theres a falcone boat near the water, i think its the only boat (near industrial district) - land on the boat, and beside the box you can use your hack tool to get in
I tried some of the challenge maps earlier, I could barely get one medal, on the easier ones I got the mid rank one. In the batman world I'm the underpaid illegal immigrant labor alfred hires to take care of Wayne manor.
The key to getting medals is mostly not letting your combo break. I don't even use gadgets anymore in those because they aren't worth many points compared to some other shit you can do. Killing someone with a strike/counter is worth little points(10xcombo score). Killing someone with a combat takedown is preferable(50xcombo score). Ground Takedowns are worth more(75xcombo score) but are very risky to do. Knife counter-takedowns are worth a the most that I know of(100xcombo score), along with Titan and Hammer/Sickle Takedowns(also 100xcombo score). Beat Downs I think are 50xcombo score? I don't know but they are generous enough.
Variation Bonus and Gadget Bonuses will only net you like 500 to 1000 points, and focusing on them can mess your combo up quickly. Keep it simple.
First and foremost, use the weapon destroy special on all shields and stun batons. Then find an Hammer/Sickle, Titan, or Armored Guy (In that order) and commence a beat down on them. You can interrupt your Beatdown to Counter anyone that attacks you and then continue the beat down. I advise not countering people when attacking Hammer/Sickle, just dodge over Hammers head and continue the beat down when anyone trys to attack you. If someone attacks you with a knife then you will have to start the beat down over again as the knife attacks are long enough for them to recover. This allows you to get to a high combo really early and you can start taking dudes. I try to only do Knife-takedowns for those juicy x100 points, and try not to stay in freeflow for too long. Freeflow will cause your hits to do too much damage, so I reset it with a Bat Tornado, as that doesn't kill anyone, gives good points and resets your freeflow.
It just takes being comfortable knowing when someone is going to try and hit you, and knowing what moves make you invulnerable. Combat Takedown/Weapon Destroy makes you invulnerable for the duration of the animation. Counters make you invulnerable for the duration of the animation, so long as you hit counter for however many dudes are attacking you. Dodge (X X/A A) makes you invulnerable for the duration of the animation. Explosive Gel quick fire makes you Invulnerable ONLY for the duration of the flip animation while putting down the gel not for exploding it.
The only map you need to use Variation and Gadget Bonuses is the first combat map (Justice something or another). Once you get blade takedowns consistently, and start abusing beatdown then the extreme maps are a fucking ton of fun.
Edit: I am fucking terrible at predator stuff. I find myself trying to do stuff as if I were Solid Snake, but batman doesn't have the "Knock on this to lure a guy over without alerting every fucking guy on the entire map". Plus the corner takedown never fucking works for me in AC, which was one of my favorite takedowns in AA (and now it alerts the shit out of everyone even when you do pull it off).

I glided to get it, curved around and landed safely on the lower areas.

Someone asked a while back if I thought Robin was bad. I do not think Robin is bad and I would not bother posting up videos showing how good he is in 720p if I thought so. That is a lot of effort.
The games manual exists in the intricately detailed and lovingly crafted power upgrade information screen. Every single thing Batman can do is in there, everything. Every. Thing.
There is no thing anyone here has described that could not be found via 15 minutes reading them. They are not just for buyable powers, they go through the function of every ability. The predator section? You can't buy any of that. Instead it tells you exactly what they all are and when you can use them. Ditto for anything else there at the start.
I read them early. I suggest anyone who wants to bitch about a lack of documentation do this thing.
Except medal challenges. They were needlessly vague.

I found one where he doesn't.
The molten rock in the furnace in Jokers place at the start. He just dies and melts slowly down into it. I genuinely messed up and fell in there. I felt so bad. So bad.

@Buddies: I agree with all your tips except....takedowns are not invulnerable. You can get shot at and enemies with guns will happily do so. Minibosses also ignore it. Best to think of them as a shock style move that makes everybody back away for a little bit. "Oh my god look at what he's doing to that guy I don't think I want to punch him anymore...ew ow argh oh jesus"
Also Beatdowns when in focus mode are a fantastic and cheap way of getting points. You punch faster in focus so you can start one and finish it before needing to counter unless enemies are right next to you when you start. Free 50 points + 2 or 3 combo points off that guy. Careful management will let you do it to a whole room.
