Combat Challenges are a way for you to prove your combat mastery in 10 different maps (includes 4 DLCs) in Batman: Arkham City.
If you think that you have mastered the combat mechanics of Batman: Arkham City, try achieving the highest scores in any of the Combat Challenges. We, though, recommend waiting until you have beat the main story campaign. These combat challenge maps will keep you busy for hours and count as additional bonus content in the game. How to complete all Combat Challenges in Batman: Arkham City
Every combat challenge plays out in almost the same way. You have to beat all the enemies in the room through a series of rounds and rack up as many points as you can. The only difference between certain combat challenges is the number and difficulty of the enemies present and how many points are needed for all three medals.Blind Justice
This challenge takes place inside the Solomon Wayne Courthouse where you first rescued Catwoman. You should not have any trouble completing the first combat challenge of Batman: Arkham City. All you have to do is beat basic-level thugs in four rounds. The difficulty does spike a bit by throwing armored and knife thugs at you in extreme mode, but it is still an easy challenge to overcome.

2nd Medal 12,000 16,000
3rd Medal 24,000 32,000Survival of the Fittest
From the second round onwards, there will be a few enemies with knives and broken bottles. Use Blade Dodge Takedowns on as many of them as possible to get the maximum score. There are no armored enemies in the normal mode, making it easier for a Freeflow combat.
Use Special Takedowns as soon as your combo hits x8 (x5 if you have the Special Takedown Boost upgrade). Armored enemies will show up in extreme mode, an effective strategy would be to leave them for last and use a Cape Stun followed by a beatdown to finish them off.
In the last round of the extreme mode, a Titan will be among 20 regular enemies. Focus on the titan and use Ultra Stun followed by a beatdown to climb up on his back and steer him into hitting the other enemies. Do this three times to knock out the titan.

Take in the dark and gritty landscape of Arkham City while you kick some serious ass on a rooftop near Solomon Wayne Courthouse. In addition to blades, there will now be a few armored thugs as well. Leave the armored enemies for the last and use Cape Stun to perform a beatdown.
If you attempt this challenge in extreme mode, the second round will have 3 assassins in addition to the regular enemies and thugs with shields. Use Blade Dodge Takedowns to swiftly take them out of the bout first and for each round use Ground Takedown on the last enemy to rack up the most points.

Hell’s Gate combat challenge takes place on the streets of Wonder City, where you have to fight a myriad of enemies from almost every faction in Arkham City.
This combat Challenge map will throw League of Shadows Assassins at you mixed with some regular and armored thugs. Isolate enemies and make use of as many gadgets as possible to get the maximum score out of this challenge. You can attempt this in either the normal mode or the extreme mode but the basic strategy to maximize your points will remain the same.
In extreme mode, the Freeze Cluster will come in handy to slow down a large number of enemies to get yourself some breathing room. Use Blade Dodge Takedowns to deal with the assassins and Beatdowns for the stunned armored enemies. Try not to get hit by evading and countering as much as possible because the key to maximum score is keeping up a massive combo and Special Takedowns.
