For Riddler trophy 31, some may find it easier to stand near the trophy and fire a remote controlled batarang over the building to hit the switch on the opposite side. Saves having to race against the timer.

for riddle trophy 7, instead, take out the gunned guards on the nearby building so they don't bother you when working on riddle, gel the bottom 3 switches, then grapple up to building looking down at top 3 switches, explode bottom 3 and tap quick batarang 3 times, take 2 seconds to unlock prize from exploding on gel.

I have to agree with you. Their way is so much harder. This way is much easier. Thanks

I'd like to submit a suggestion. You've got a great guide here, but I believe you've made a mistake on one of the trophies. For Amusement Mile Trophy number 7, you suggest using gel on the top 3 switches, then running down the line firing at the 3 on the bottom. That's really difficult. Much much easier to gel the bottom three, then stand on the roof opposite and use the quick batarang, bam bam bam, and it's done. You don't have to move at all.

"How come everyone loves to whine about any and everything these days? Do you pay for your phone service? Your cable service? Your fitness club membership? You SAMS Club Membership? Yes? Do you complain daily about that too? Again, you don't waatch it, no one is forcing you to watch it. And if you wanna stop watching it, go ahead. No one is holding you back either. What a generation of whiners we all have become... I am not saying it's okay to advertise for everything, but instead of posting pointless post after post, vote with your vallet and f****** stop watching!!!"

Hey Radar guys you really took the hard road with amusement Mile trophy number 7 cause it is way easier to put the gel on the lower three and sit up on the roof across the ally and throw batterangs from there and blow the gel without all that frustration. but sometimes the easiest solution is often overlooked. but hey great work so far on the rest.

Museum #4 - the gate is down. Is there a way around this? Also, finished the game, but missed everything in Wonder Tower... I'm not getting those I presume.
