I was originally just gonna post my notes in plain text, but they ended up being pretty long, so instead I'll post a link to a Google doc here. It's a lot easier to edit and reformat that anyway. I'll try to keep it up to date if new strategies/routes are found (and I'll gladly give editing privileges to anyone who runs the category, just send me a PM on Discord or something).

If anything in there is confusing or needs clarification just ask.
Pretty good start. An idea though:
Man-bat is definitely predictable. He's guaranteed to spawn after visiting Riddler on pretty much any large flat rooftop. I usually trigger him on the ledge of the Gotham Casino building. I think a better route for that would be Visit Riddler - Pyg Victim near Orphanage - Trigger Man-Bat - Casino Pyg Victim - Catch Man-Bat. Casino Pyg might be faster if done earlier? Not sure. It's just convenient to do it when heading back to the bridge.
How are you doing First Firefly after Riddler? Did you mean after crash scene?
Also for the Azrael ending, you can just leave the Clock Tower using the gate. That's the quickest ending.
Good to know about Man-Bat, I didn't think he was that predictable. If he's pretty much guaranteed to trigger on the Gotham Casino building then we should definitely factor that into the run. Your route sounds pretty good to me.
Whoops, you're right about Firefly. I messed around with the order there a bit and missed that. I'll fix that in a moment.
I didn't think you could just leave as Azrael, I thought you had to do something with the sword first.
I find everyone the knightfall as speedrun makes should decide which mission he makes I had times made a list where the approximate time stands
http://www.speedrun.com/arkhamknight/thread/0vbw5 My contribution is at the very bottom
I would say that everyone will remain allowed and everyone should decide which misson one wants to make (I will at knightfall sellbst which misson I want to make and which is not principal the goal is successful)
And the sequence should also remain arbitrary and not fixed any runners should be able to determine themselves, which also makes it more interesting
I'm not sure what you guys are trying to say. I'm not saying "this is what you have to do", I just made a route for the category. You're free to use it if you want, or you can come up with your own route.
What do you mean? You can end every side mission before completing the main story.
I know that you can all end before the end of the story but if you finish more than 6 mission you have to make 12 before you can activate knightfall part 1
I'm gonna check that to be sure. If that's correct then all you really need to change is to do Deacon Blackfire after Scarecrow.
I'm sure batman arkham has knight countless times complete by maximum 6 mission otherwise you have to make 12. That's why my concerns about your list
I believe you, and I think I do remember that being the case now that I'm thinking about it, but as they say, "trust, but verify".
I've updated the list now. If it turns out to be wrong then I'll just revert it back.
I will run it in the future and I want the better of it because of my fairness for all runners
Of course, I want it to be fair too. I posted this route here to help other people run the category.
Apparently this doesn’t work at all. It seems like the number of side missions required to get the partial ending changes depending on how many you do during the main story. Doing it this way requires 10 side missions total. I have no idea if this is intentional or if it’s just completely broken.
I've updated the document with this info, but I'll leave everything else on there for now.
This is what I meant you can only complete 6 sidemission otherwise you have to do more for knightfall part 1. This has nothing to do with the version or the game is broken
I did 6 side missions during the story and this is what happened. I did the seventh one after beating the story.
