P11B: The Cat Patrol -- Amusement Mile

The Cat Patrol -- Amusement Mile

When I was a kid growing up in Australia TV sucked.  We got three channels if the weather was good, two if it was not, so in the mid-1970's when my dad had a HUGE satellite dish installed it was a big deal.  The reason that my dad spent a bazillion dollars on that dish was so he could get specific sports events that were not carried on Austrian TV -- and while that was cool, the reason that I liked it was because we could get a HUGE variety of other shows from foreign networks, including syndicated broadcasts of a show called Batman!

Believe it or not that was the first I had ever heard of Batman either as a show, movie, or comic, and as luck would have it the first show that I watched of the 60's series was one staring Catwoman -- who was played by actress and hottie Julie Newmar -- who I sort of had a thing for at the time, but do not ask me to explain why I was attracted to a woman who while beautiful was clearly a ball-buster!  I am not going to go into detail with respect to all of the things I imagined would make her purr, that is better left for the conversations that take place on my shrink's couch -- but I will observe that the Catwoman in Arkham City has the same attitude, spirit, and lithe form...  Anyway...

I don't know about you but I have been eagerly anticipating the third installment of Catwoman in the game, and not just because I wanted to complete her adventures, but also because there were all of those Riddler's Secrets that were hers and hers alone!  If we tried to take them as Batman we got punished by Riddler, who shocked us -- so here were these nice pink Trophies that, while in numbers they do not amount to a huge total, nonetheless are here and unattainable...  Well, until now that is!

It is time to start collecting those -- and just to be clear this is NOT Part 2 of the Batman Side-Trips, rather this is the normal third installment of Catwoman's part in the game...  Since there are relatively few of these we will run through the ones we can actually get very quickly, break them down by district, and include a video showing the snagging of them!

Gathering Catwoman's Trophies: The Amusement Mile

-- The Amusement Mile District --

We have returned to our role as Catwoman in the Amusement Mile -- so our first destination should be the GCPD Building, where we can drop down the north face to the water and enter the Parking Garage, and grab the trophy that is on the other side of the huge flooded gap, which we reach by crawling along the ceiling - that is so cool!

Exit the Garage once you have that and head directly south to the next building -- Krank Toy Company -- and take out the group of thugs that is guarding the entrance before heading inside (assuming you have completed the Fragile Alliance Side-Mission which you should have, as otherwise you cannot enter this building).  Go inside and head to the right in the main room into the room with the destroyed canisters and grab the Trophy that is on the ceiling here!

Now head to the west to the GCR Building -- Gotham City Radio -- the one with the huge radio tower?  On the lowest roof (the square section poking out to the west) is a small shed with a weakened wall that you kick open to find this Trophy.

Now head to the larger section of elevated freeway that still survives west of the GCPD Building and RB to the bottom in the southeast corner to ceiling crawl to the center and snag this Trophy!
