Catwoman spoilers:

Dissapointed in the Catwoman missions, although her agility is fun. The last "predator" challenge against Two Face was a real pain (on Hard, anyway).

I managed to take out Two-Face in one go - I did a silent takedown on the other guy on the bridge (without having taken out any of the other thugs) then just beat Two-Face up repeatedly, deliberately beating him into the corridor where the thugs couldn't immediately shoot me. I was close to death, but I still won. Made it a little cheap. I suppose I just wasn't in the mood after the epicness of the end credits.

(Side mission)

Going to need a little clue for finding

Freeze's wife

So can someone give me a yes or no.

I found a building where I knocked on the door and got told to go away. Investigating I can see there might be a way in from the water where there's a blowupable wall but I can't yet figure out how to do so.

Am I on the right track here or is she somewhere else completely?

You are totally on the right track.

Big hint

Wonder what would happen if you threw a freeze grenade into the water

Completed this, what a marvellous game. GOTY so far, it won't be easy to beat.

That said, the final Catwoman mission was easily the worst part of the entire game.

Respawning enemies ... Really?

I appreciated the idea of trying something new since it was a different challenge, but right at the end of the game after the main plot is concluded, I couldn't really be bothered.

Same here. Just finished the main story tonight, and now I've got this final shitty Catwoman mission to do. Do I have to complete it, just to start playing as Bats again? I know there's NG+, but I want to mop up sidequests on my normal playthrough. She's totally underpowered, as I've spent all my XP points on Batman. A few bullets and she goes down.

Really? I got enough XP to fully upgrade everything before completing the game. Unfortunately, if she's installed I don't think you have a choice but to finish her stuff up before you can be the bat again. Try doing what hoot suggested, then 'wail on him' as the h'Americanos would say.

Cat Woman again:

When you enter the room, run straight to the right and take down the first guy. Now double back and wait near the top of the stairs for the second guard to come up, he'll probably take a few minutes. After that, drop through the hole in the floor and start on the three guys on the bottom level, I hung around the end with the grate in the floor. Once they are down, use the same hole to get back on the top floor, and wait on the corner where Two Face is, when he turns his back, run over to the last guard, take him down, I got shot once at this point by Two Face but once you down him, you can just keep laying in to him.

I would add that since Two-Face is most likely going to turn round and see you while you take that last guy out anyway, you might as well do a knockout smash during your silent takedown to speed things along

take out the guard to the right making sure to make some noise. They'll start to look for you and Two face will move to the top of the stairs where you entered. He'll be on his own at this point. Run round and pummell him, you should be able to finish him off before you get killed and th scut-scene will kick in. Job done

Can you only replay the game using your unlocked suits in NG+? I don't know if i'm good enough to play that mode. I still rely on that counter indicator a lot.

It definitely is harder, but since you're not looking for the counter signs any more, you can focus more on how the enemies look. Generally they stay quite still, sidestepping slowly unless they're about to attack, then they run in suddenly.

The combat is a weird thing. When playing through the 1st time i used the counter quite a lot but playing through NG+ i use it sparingly, mainly because there seems to be so many enemies around you. Now, it's all about the attack, jump away, attack, critical strikes and free flow...and i find that just well timed button pressing rather than mashing helps that, especially when you glance up and see you're on a 30+ combo and just about every strike is a critical one as you bounce about the room taking them all out. The knife dodge is still my weakness but.
