Had a quick play around with the first stealth challenge last night, as both Batman and The Joker. Batman felt a lot easier – he can use the gargoyles, after all – but using Mr. J forced me to play better and I got a much better time as the Clown Prince of Crime than I did as the Dark Knight. (Though I did at least get all three bats as Batman for disabling people in the specified ways.) It’s a shame 360-based players won’t get to play as The Joker, as it is very rewarding.

Also tried the first combat challenge as Batman again. I got a new personal best score, but it was still under 10,000 points. I lose my combo far too easily, though I did manage to get up to a 31x combo at one point, which is good for me. I’m definitely getting better.

What a game, though, eh? Story finished, secrets finished and there’s loads more to do. It’s a hugely impressive package and a really good example of what a developer can do when the publisher gives them the time and budget to get a game right before release.

That said, there does seem to be a glitch with the leaderboards on the stealth levels, unless I’m missing something. Surely it’s not possible to take out all the guards in thirteen seconds?
