If you don't get this during the game playthrough, you can get it on any of the silent challenges.

As stated, get onto a gargoyle and wait for an unsuspecting victim to come by and string him up. Then jump to a nearby ledge and wait for the crew to investigate. Select your Batarang and aim at the rope. When a thug comes near, chop the rope with the batarang. Achievement unlocked.

I got this on the Invisible Predator challenge. As soon as you gain control, select your batarang and go to detective mode. Grapple up to the ledge above the window/hole in the wall directly in front of you. Get onto the nearest gargoyle with a thug under it (to the right across the room) and do an inverted takedown. Glide back to the ledge and aim at the rope. In a few seconds the thugs will investigate. Shoot the rope. If you want to finish the challenge - grapple to a nearby gargoyle as you'll be spotted soon thereafter. There are probably easier ways to do this but this worked for me.

This achievement is easily obtained using the above techniques in the first unlocked 'Silent Predator' mode in the challenge section.

I would split this achievement into three easy steps...

1) Grapple to a gargoyle and await a thug to align himself beneath you

2) Use the 'Inverted Takedown' move to leave the victim hanging and grapple to a different gargoyle

3) Watch as another guy goes to see his buddy all tied up and use the Batarang to cut the rope just as he is underneath him

This achievement is incredibly easy and shouldn't cause too many problems once you're used to the controls, the only prerequisite for the achievement is you must have unlocked the upgrade; "Vertical Takedown", with this upgrade Batman will be able to hang upside down on the gargoyles scattered throughout the game and as an enemy walks under you can then press "Y" and perform the takedown, when you have an enemy strung up you need to zip away from him and wait, when another enemy is within close proximity to the hanging body throw a batarang at the wire which will make the body fall to the floor and surprise the second enemy.

I've also linked in a video which shows you how to do what I've described!

You will firstly need to have purchased the 'Inverted Takedown' move from the Waynetech upgrade menu (accessed via the cn_back button)

Throughout the story there will be many areas with Gargoyles in them, once in one of these rooms grapple onto one of the Gargoyles that hangs of a walkway/reachable area. Now wait for one of Jokers henchman to walk beneath the Gargoyle, while aiming down press cn_Y to perform the move.

Once the henchman is hanging grapple to the next nearest Gargoyle and select the Batarang (cn_up on the d-pad).
Now wait for more henchman to come over and inspect what has happened, when one or more henchman are directly below the hanging one hold cn_LT near the rope and Batman will automatically target the rope and press cn_RT to throw a Batrang, the henchman will fall and Achievement unlocked.

Here's a video to demonstrate

First of all, buy an upgrade in a single game, then climb onto the gargoyle, if you are too lazy to wait for the guys to come running, then throw a Sonic Batarang, the guy will of course come up, and you will calmly grab him, half the job is done, now the most interesting thing: to the screams The rest of this guy will crawl, throw a batarang into the rope and he will fall. I warn you, it’s rare that they look at where the batarang is flying from, so when you’ve done your job, run away from there as quickly as possible.
