    BOY WONDER!
    BOY WONDER!

    Okay all those skins for Batman in Arkham City were kind of cool, but I don't know how I feel about this... I mean I love the inclusion of Red Robin, and the animated one goes GREAT with animated Batman. However, the problem for me arises when it's skins for a DLC character because it starts to blow my mind. They have said in an interview that Robin will not be in the story only challenge maps and will be paid DLC and this makes me upset because he is a BestBuy exclusive so there is no way to get him in the UK without paying, of course I will pay no doubt, and this becomes even more silly when you remember Rocksteady are based in London. It just makes me wish they would add him fully into the game and story like Catwoman, and also now I expect an animated Catwoman skin...

    Eh I dunno it looks cool as hell I guess.

    That's how buying things works. You can't exactly get a free character for a game you don't own :P.

    I mean there is no pre-order bonus over in the UK you get him for nothing pre-ordering at BestBuy and I would if I could :<

    I'd appreciate a costume that's just regular-ass Robin.

    The animated Robin should have green on him.  And Red Robin is dumbass idea.  I like Batman and all but they really deviate a lot of time.  Or not enough.  4, 5, 6 robins or something?  Bludhaven?  Enough said.

    Interesting. TAS Robin is the only one I'd ever consider checking out.

    I think he has less green on him because that is how Tim Drakes outfit looked when he was Robin. This also explains the Red Robin skin because Tim Drake becomes Red Robin much like Dick becomes Nightwing.

    I want to see the inevitable Catwoman skins, but these Robin ones look pretty good.  Still, I would have liked a "classic" green-underwear Robin in the mix, too to go along with 1970's Batman.

    I can't wait to see how TAS Batman and Robin look in game. They're going to be hilariously out of place.

    So wait. These are pre-order skins for a pre-order character.

    The amount of pre-order content has already crossed the line for me. I'll wait and pick up the GoTY version next year. See you then guys.

    I say the robin on the right is better. Rocksteady have to stop it with all the DLC skins or Arkham City will have more alternate costumes than a fighting game

    For a second, TAS robin almost looked like the main villain from the Incredibles.

     Meh at all of those, TAS Robin doesn't look right.
     
    @WinterSnowblind: I'm not there yet. Maybe when they announce TAS version of Harley Quinn that doesn't come with the Batman TAS preorder, then I'll be upset. For now, it's just Batman TAS.

    At this rate I'd rather get a TAS DLC pack where the entire game's visuals transforms into the TAS theme.

    He does have green on him I think. It looks like his arms and legs are green but the photo is too dark to really tell. 
     
    Also the pre-order DLC for this is way too insane. Definitely going a little overboard.

    Not sure how i feel about Tim Drake getting a Robin outfit that isn't his own...the animated skins are probably my least favorite anyways, oh well.
