Batman: Arkham City

Dunno how I feel about his buzz cut, but overall I like the design.

Iirc, it's Tim Drake in this one. Nightwing supposedly IS going to make some kind of appearance.

More Nightwing and less Robin please.

The Robin here is just a DLC bonus or something iirc.

it's a bonus for pre-orders

I'm playing Arkham Asylum at the moment and I'm LOVING it.. looking forward to this 2nd game too

Same. He looks good, but, sorry, I'm used to him with hair.

it's a bonus for pre-orders....

A Best Buy exclusive bonus for pre-orders no less.

Quoted from the link:
"It's worth bearing in mind that Robin won't feature in the actual game's story - or at least nothing has been confirmed on that front - but will be confined to his own challenge rooms available with a pre-order from Best Buy."

So the creators liked him enough to give him a room or two, but not enough to feature him in the actual story.....I'm okay with that.

I doubt it'll stay a preorder bonus only. Guarantee we'll see it as paid DLC before long.

Looks like this is going to have a cool soundtrack, including comic book fans Coheed and Cambria

Bumping this to see if it spurs on some conversation, otherwise I'd just let it be. I don't think I mind this free roaming approach to Batman. It allows Gotham City to be a character in itself within the game. Plus, gliding around seems fun. The combat seems as good as before

Here are some early reviews

"Early reviews have been positive with the Australian Official PlayStation Magazine giving Arkham City a perfect score of 10/10 stating that "Batman: Arkham City is not only the best superhero game ever made, it’s one of the best games ever made full-stop. It takes the already superlative original and gloriously expands on it. It’s a deeper game, more complex, more inventive, more mature. It brings the caped crusader’s world to life better than any comic, movie or television show before it.".[68] Games Master gave Arkham City another high score of 97%, saying it's "one of the greatest games ever conceived."[69] German magazine Play3 gave Arkham City a score of 92%, calling it the best superhero game ever made."

I may totally regret it, but I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition. Yes, I'm buying into the hype. I know
