Calling Copperhead as the Glass Joe of the 8 bosses.

It's Copperhead. Dude used to get the poo poo kicked out of him by the Elongated Man. Reboot or not, that's not exactly a wild leap.

Apparently, Lady Shiva is the sixth assassin.

Oh good. I was hoping to see a decent representative of the League of Assassins it just wouldn't be right without one.

Shouldn't deathstroke have swords and guns? Why is he bonking everyone with a staff anyway?

Because they cannibalized most of the Robin DLC from Arkham City to make it. The thread just covered this, keep up.

Judging by the artwork and trailers he will use a sword when you fight him in the main game though.

Isn't Deathstroke a bad guy? Does he share Batman's morals or what? Because from my limited Batman experience, I would have thought he would just have shot his enemies.

(Yes, I know the explanation is probably that they had to fit it into the Batman framework, but still...)

He does use guns if he needs to. But the game already has Deadshot, we don't need another crazed gunman.

Also, for the record, Deathstroke does use a staff in the comics. Admittedly, a high tech staff that shoots energy blasts, but he uses it like a bo.

All eight assassins have been revealed.

Aside from the six that have already been officially announced, here are the last two.

Lady Shiva was revealed weeks ago and I would need more than a photographed screen to believe that Killer Croc is on the list. That does not qualify as an assassin no matter how you look at it. It's probably a side quest.

Ok so I'm at the tower near the GCPD to unlock fast travel for that area. I can clearly see what I'm supposed to do. There's a great I need to pull off with the batclaw and then zip up there and climb out. But when I pull off the grate and zip up, Batman just sits there, hanging from the grate, and won't climb up. What the gently caress am I doing wrong?

Some people are claiming that's a problem with your video card drivers. Try updating I guess?

And I'm supposed to now clear a predator room without using detective vision. And so I guess if I keep cocking up the predator rooms in the main story levels I could possibly end up unable to find the proper place to beat that challenge.

Just clear a rooftop of gunmen, it'll count.

Even playing Poison Ivy would be interesting, since she's really the only one in Batman's Rogue's Gallery that has bonafide super powers.

Don't just ignore Mr. Freeze like that. Sure, being able to survive at fifty below zero in your boxers may not be the most glamorous super power, but it's still a super power. And at least he isn't a fusion of a lingerie model and the Lorax.

Plus, y'know, Killer Croc, Man-Bat, Clayface, I can keep going, they're really not that rare.

I got the no fast travel thing too just after I unlocked the hatter mission. I assumed it was down to a specific thing that was going to happen to me during navigation across the city.

The only thing that happened was that Alfred called me to wish me a merry Christmas as i approached the bank/hatter shop, so it might not be a bug.

It's a bit lovely if that's why though. Fast travel deactivated just so you can hear one line of dialogue as you fly around the city?

Fast travel is locked when you catch an enemy's attention and stay locked until you've gotten the results screen for beating his rear end. Getting that mission got you some attention and you didn't get a chance to beat their rear end. Yes, it's sloppy design, but that shows up a lot.

If you find fast travel locked when you're not in a fight, just restart from checkpoint, it should open it up again.

So it sounds like I should wait until this game gets patched for all its bugs before picking it up, huh?

Yeah, give it a couple of weeks. Maybe see if it goes on sale for thanksgiving weekend.

Ok how the hell do I do the Sonic Batarang Takedown challenge? I've already tried doing it near a vent for a Vent Takedown, and under a vantage point for either the Inverted or Remote Claw Takedown and it didn't register them at all.

You have to do it three times. And inverted takedowns are probably easiest for that challenge. Just sit on a gargoyle, point straight down, drop the batarang and wait. It almost feels like cheating.

t it didn't matter anyway because you hadn't opened the Shiva quest for Disarm&Destroy yet anyways. Special thugs are spice. Use too many and you ruin the dish.

Shive is critical hits. You get disarm and destroy from Bird. Which is goddamn stupid since you can only get that most wanted in the final act of the game.

OK, another question: The one challenge I'm on is to do 20 critical strikes in a free flow combo. That's the "press attack at a constant beat" like the previous games, not the critical counters ability, right?

Yes, but make sure you actually have the skill unlocked.
