•••Spoiler:  I got it by flying off the top of the Wayne Tower and heading for this building, then use the fan on top to gain more height. You should be able to reach a height of 190 meters or more.

Did you try turning downwards after that for Speeding Bullet II?

I did. It didn't work.

Just throwing my bit in here then I'll probably never come back to this thread (no offence intended guys)

I love this game.

Very good purchase , well worth the money. Fun to play , very engaging. It's fun being Batman / controlling this person with amazing martial arts ability.

But what blew me away is the battery life. I'm on an iPod touch 4th generation so I can't really play games that take up a large amount of memory. I've found that with certain large games (I'm looking at you IB) they either crash my iPod as it runs out of memory or they drain the battery to the point where I need to keep them plugged into a charger to play.

Not this one.

The plan was to "play 30 minutes while in bed and put it down". I kept playing. And kept playing. And playing. Until the "your battery is running low you have less then 20% battery left" alert come up.

*checks the time*

O_O 3 hrs later ? Da faq!

Silky smooth through an estimated 85% of the game. There were a couple of points where the cinematics loaded kinda slow so all I could see was a black screen but otherwise it never crashed once.

And 3 hours to go from a full charge to 20 % . Daaang.

PS I've add a version of these comments both to the TA review as well as on the iTunes Store page. I usually never do that (mostly because the interface for doing so is confusing on the App Store on my iPod)

"Speeding Bullet II" can't be gotten by diving off a building AFAIK. You'll need to use the exhaust fans that boost your height in a creative way. The easiest way is to go to the top of Wayne Tower (the helipad) and then look around for the highest nearby exhaust fan-it's pretty close to Wayne Tower. Glide/grapple over to it and stand on it. Hit the 'glide' button and you'll gain height-then comes the tricky part. You need to turn in the tightest circle possible while still pressing up to reverse your glide and hit the air draft from the same exhaust fan again. Do it right, and you'll shoot up to a height well over 200 meters-I reached 218 on mine (by contrast, I believe Wayne Tower is the tallest building around at 171 meters-almost the same as the top of the clock tower). Once you've maxed your height, dive (by pressing down) and you'll get the achievement (assuming you don't land on another rooftop or an elevated road, so you might have to tweak direction just a bit on the way down). I'm thinking a dive from anything over 200 meters would probably do the trick, but of course I can only say that 218 does it for sure. It ended up being almost the last achievement I needed (except for the level 50 one and the associated 'max character' one).

It kinda sucks you are forced to spend money to get all the achievements. There is an achievement for buying the tech premium pack.

Thanks for that. Got it! I didn't think about using the fan twice. I reached a height of 232 meters.

Ditto! This was my last achievement. Woot!
