your advice for noobs: play with Catwoman DLC in story, or separately after story?

I recently got B:AC and it comes with the Catwoman and Robin codes. I've read various threads about how the Catwoman missions in NG+ can be pretty difficult. I don't like to make things more difficult for myself.

My plan is to play the game, then do NG+, then install the DLCs and play those separately.

My questions for people who have played the DLC: would you recommend I use that approach to make things easier for myself? Or does the Catwoman parts integrate well with the main story so that it makes sense to play them together?

I did read somewhere that I can play Catwoman DLC on my first playthrough, then delete it before starting NG+, but I kinda like my plan as outlined above unless people think otherwise.

Thanks!

The Catwoman story parts are quite well integrated into the main story and offer some nice variety. Also, those DLC parts aren't that hard.
Play the game with the DLC, grab all Catwoman riddler trophies after your first playthrough, then start NG+.

Those Catwoman sequences are rather short and not more difficult than Batman's story mode.

Yeah I didn't find them that hard, you can always play them on the first playthrough, then delete the DLC so you don't have to even play it in NG+. Or an alternative is to play the game, then do all the Challenge Maps for Batman & Catwoman..once you master those then NG+ becomes pretty easy imo.

Just play it. It works well into the story, and it's a nice change. Plus, that ass is great.
