That knife takedown move... (Gaming)

I had it work once today. I left a knife man to the last and practiced on him. In the end I got bored and jumped over him and pummeled him until he dropped. It's just the most annoying move ever.

My other rant is that most roof tops have machine gunners on them and that really gets in the way of rapid travel. You set a waypoint - head off in that direction and run into a nest of machine gunners or occasional snipers - grrr... You have to use bat vision to scan for them or just run past and hope they don't get too many hits. The later parts of all the batman games suffer from this. I want to travel quickly to complete a specific objective; I don't want to clear each rooftop on my way from A to B.

How do you stop batman leaping straight onto a roof when he (batclaws? bat grapples?) from below? You used to be able to hang on and ledge takedown. Now you spring onto the roof in plain view of three guys with guns. Ta Dah! (oh shit) :-) Is the problem down to having small stone walls around most roofs? Will he automatically mount them because they are walls?
