How to unlock the Gotham After Midnight achievement in Batman: Arkham Knight - Definitive Guide
You'll want to start at street level and then use your Grapnel to shoot a corner of a building or some other object above the street levels. Use your boost to shoot up and over whatever object it is that you choose to use your Grapnel on, transition into a glide, then dive straight down towards the street, level out before you hit the ground, and then try your best to stay low as long as possible without breaking your glide. You'll want to pull up just a little bit in order to prevent yourself from losing altitude and touching the ground. You'll need to stay at least 10m from the ground which can be a little tough to estimate, but I found that as long as you below the top of the street lights, you'll be fine. The achievement will unlock upon landing.
I also did it without using any gadgets, during a mission whilst tailing penguins car. Dove off a building, straight down, pulled up and followed the car almost at street level for ages. Then it popped.
Using this method, I was able to glide almost 400 meters in one tilt, with no upgrades to my gliding, grapnel hook, or anything else aiding traversal. The fact that the road you are gliding over tilts downward adds almost 150 meters of distance on it's own, which you'll never actually hit the road unless you make an error on the joystick (Batman won't naturally sink to the street as it's curving away from him). At the end of the glide, you should end up about here.
At the very start at the top of the screen you will see I have my grapple upgraded which boosts the speed. I spent ages trying to get this over water but finally thought it was too difficult to judge the height, so I started trying over roads by grappling over buildings to build speed before dive bombing down. I got this by chance along this stretch of road in The Cauldron which has arches/signs over the road and lampposts that helped me get the right height. The achievement popped just before I landed.

Welcome back for another DaddyGotGameTV guide. In this video I will be helping you get the “Gotham After Midnight” Achievement/Trophy. To get this you will have to glide 400 meters while staying less than 20 meters off the ground. This can be done from the start of the game with no upgrades needed. This achievement is also accumulative, meaning that every time you are gliding less than 20 meters from the ground, it will count towards this. I will be showing you how to get it all at once.

The quickest and easiest way to get this achievement is the Glide Kick. Hit while above an enemy, swooping down to take them out. Make sure the Bat signal is above the enemies head for the Glide Kick. Achievements like this, and others that are not story related, will unlock in AR Challenges.
You'll want to start at street level and then use your Grapnel to shoot a corner of a building or some other object above the street levels. Use your boost to shoot up and over whatever object it is that you choose to use your Grapnel on, transition into a glide, then dive straight down towards the street, level out before you hit the ground, and then try your best to stay low as long as possible without breaking your glide. You'll want to pull up just a little bit in order to prevent yourself from losing altitude and touching the ground. You'll need to stay at least 10m from the ground which can be a little tough to estimate, but I found that as long as you below the top of the street lights, you'll be fine. The trophy will unlock upon landing.
To start, simply climb any of the tall buildings around Gotham, jump off, and then dive bomb as far down to the ground before pulling back up just before you reach the ground. Now that you're just above the ground (hopefully around 20 meters), attempt to glide continuously, uninterrupted for 400 meters. It may help to set a waypoint 400+ meters away from your dive bomb so you'll know how close you are to your end goal. Once the glide has been successfully completed, the achievement will unlock. It's been reported that this achievement could also be cumulative so if you fail you could still be making progress towards the achievement.
We find a high point (you can right at the very beginning of the game when you are given control of Batman) and dive, closer to the ground we simply stop diving and fly 400 meters above the ground.
If you still don’t understand how to do it or where to do it, here’s a detailed video
In short, let's squeeze and run from the roof. As soon as we begin to fall, then, without releasing anything, press the RT key. This is vertical acceleration. And then quickly move the stick down and release RT .
This will allow you to accelerate and fly about 400 meters.
