Robin Playable in Batman: Arkham City

Posted on Monday, June 20 @ 17:11:52 Eastern by


The third character to take up the identity, Tim Drake as Robin has been confirmed as a playable character in Batman: Arkham City via press release by Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment. Everyone in North America who pre-orders the game from Best Buy will receive the Tim Drake Robin pack for free on their preferred platform.

Robin will come complete with his own unique gadgets and special moves, and will be playable in all challenge maps in the game, as well as two additional challenge maps that are included with the pack – Black Mask Hideout and Freight Train Escape.  The pack will also contain a bonus Red Robin character skin.

It remains to be seen how close to the comics Tim Drake will be, beyond his use of a bo staff. His comprehensive deduction skills and computer knowhow should set him apart from the other choices for Robin. This also widens the possibility for Nightwing as a possible playable character as well, but forget I just said anything...

    Glad the character is confined to the challenge maps, although with catwoman playable in the campaign I wouldn't put it past rocksteady to surprise us.

    Nightwing late game unlockable would be awesome. Character would even fit into the gliding aspect of the game so alot of the core gameplay that you might miss with Catwoman you could still fulfill with him. Meh....must keep dreaming lol.

    I hate Robin...but if he looks like this then I guess it's kind of cool. Just don't put him in bright tights because that would suck.

    So long as they give somebody nipples in the next one, I don't care what they look like.
