AR challenges: Hero, Rogue and Scarecrow Nightmare

Beat the three PS4-only Scarecrow Nightmare maps, then earn 21 stars with each of the seven characters other than Batman.

Both runs and the story packs are done, and the base AR maps are open. Play everything here from AR Challenges on the main menu, where stars are safe. This section starts with the three Scarecrow Nightmare maps, which only PS4 players have: Steam and Xbox players start at the character trophies. After that come seven trophies of 21 stars each, as Batgirl, Harley Quinn, Red Hood, Azrael, Catwoman, Nightwing and Robin. Each character brings their own moves and quick-fire gadgets rather than Batman's kit, so finish one before starting the next. The Community pack's trophies are left for the next section, and Batman's own star trophies are already behind you.

Location
AR Challenges · Scarecrow Nightmare 1 – Start Scarecrow Nightmare 1 from AR Challenges on the main menu; the map gives you the Batmobile.

Summary
PS4 only. The first of three Batmobile maps through a burning Gotham, each ending in a fight with a giant Scarecrow.

Dark VictoryAchievementDLC: Scarecrow Nightmare Missions
Location

Summary
PS4 only. The pack's one trophy, for escaping the nightmare; the platinum does not need it.

How character stars count. Stars are kept per character, so a map you cleared as Batman starts at nothing for everyone else. Each trophy takes any mix of Combat and Predator maps, and maps where that character is not the default count too. Batmobile maps do not, and Gotham Knights is a fixed pair, so leave it out. Combat is usually the easier road: the six Combat maps below plus Smash and Grab make 21 with no per-character objectives. Two carry a catch: any damage ends Azrael's Atonement, which may not offer every character, and past 10 hits a hit or a broken combo ends Combo Master. Leave the difficulty toggle on Normal: no trophy here needs Knightmare.

Scoring on Combat maps

Keep one combo going: leap over enemies rather than stand and trade, work quick-fire gadgets in for the variation bonus, and close a round on a ground pound. A round with no hits, or with the combo never broken, pays a large bonus on top.

Motherlode: 21 stars as BatgirlAchievementDLC: Hero Challenges
Location
AR Challenges · Combat and Predator maps – Pick Batgirl before launching each map from AR Challenges on the main menu and earn 21 stars as Batgirl, at most 3 a map, so seven full maps is the least. Solo Combat and Predator maps all count: Combo Master, Tower Defense, Azrael's Atonement (if it offers Batgirl), Revive and Shine, Terminal Velocity, Smash and Grab and Under the Pale Moonlight make exactly 21, and Monarch Theatre, Crime Alley or Iceberg Lounge VIP Room can replace any of them you cannot play or would rather skip. Mix her quick-throw Batarangs and quick-fire Batclaw for variation, and spend a combo on her weapon-breaking move as soon as shields or stun batons appear.
Summary
A silver trophy for 21 stars as Batgirl. She comes with A Matter of Family, and her standard moves make her the best one to start on.

Summary
A silver trophy for 21 stars as Harley Quinn. She comes with the Harley Quinn Story Pack and is the first of the harder characters.

Summary

Community runs while you are in character

Catwoman, Nightwing and Robin each owe runs for the next section's trophies: Catwoman on Monarch Theatre, Nightwing on Monarch Theatre, Crime Alley and The Batcave, Robin on Monarch Theatre, Crime Alley and Silent Knight. They are listed there by trophy, but it pays to play a few maps for the feel of a character, then take those runs before you switch.

Relentless: 21 stars as CatwomanAchievementDLC: Rogue Challenges

Quick-Whip pulls stun-baton enemies off their feet, Bolas drop a last one standing, and quick-throw Caltrops make a group of shields fall, though only three times a challenge. Her Monarch Theatre run can supply her last stars.
Summary
A silver trophy for 21 stars as Catwoman.

Quick-fire Remote Electrical Charge disarms stun batons, and a Group Attack from a combo floors thugs so they drop what they hold. His rounds are heavier than Catwoman's.
Summary
A silver trophy for 21 stars as Nightwing. It does not depend on his Community runs, though their stars count.

Summary
A silver trophy for 21 stars as Robin, the hardest of the seven: his attacks are slow and he has little against shields or stun batons.
