An example glide under a bridge

This is one of the most difficult achievements in the game, because you cannot use gadgets to help you glide, in the course of it. Start by using a maxed out grapple launcher on the rooftop of one of the skyscrapers, or cranes near bridge 1. After you glide closer to the bridge, dive and at the right moment start stabilizing your flight. You can neither collide with the bridge, nor slow down too much, or you will fail the challenge. Glide then towards bridge 2, while diving and rising in turns. The purpose of all of this is to maintain appropriate altitude. Glide under bridge 2 and head towards bridge 3. After you glide underneath, land in a safe spot and wait for the achievement to be unlocked.

Scar of the Bat

Way to unlock: You need to complete the Creature of the Night side mission, connected with the huge bat (doctor Langstrom) flying around Gotham.

Glide right above the ground level

Way to unlock: You need to glide for 400 meters at the altitude not higher than 20 meters. It is best to complete this at the Bleake Island or Miagani Island, because there are no significant fluctuations in the ground level (on the Founders' Island there are numerous descents into underground areas). Start by ejecting Batman or using the grapple launcher on a rooftop. Dive towards the street and at the last possible moment, stabilize your flight. You need to glide right above the ground and if you have maintained high speed, the Batman does not touch the ground too early. The achievement will be awarded only some time after you have landed, so do not let this discourage you, if you do not receive it right after you complete the challenge.

After you have found one, gain speed and use the afterburner right before you get off the ramp.

You need to get right above the vehicle to land on it

Way to unlock: You need to stop 20 vehicles without using the batmobile. First of all, it needs to be said that it is about the regular cars that the bandits drive on. There are two ways to stop the vehicles. The one that is better, in my opinion, starts with gliding. You need to glide up to the vehicle and maneuver in the way that allows you to land on the roof of the vehicle. Then, you need to press the attack key to make Batman land onto it and deal with the bandits.
