He's design seems to fit perfectly in the Arkham universe.

So far, Batman, Catwoman, Robin, and Nightwing are playable characters.

I'm hoping the the campaign only has the bit of Catwoman in it. Robin and Nightwing hopefully are just attached to challenge modes.

He's ugly, but cool.

I want the Robin >.<

#3 Posted by Cloudenvy (5729 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

That's Nightwing alright.

#4 Posted by Rhaknar (5791 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

i have no interest in playing as anyone except Batman (or with any of the alt costumes) :/ Especially if its not part of the story

#5 Posted by uniform (1786 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Looking forward to see him in action. I really wish this game had Cassandra Cain. : (

#6 Posted by TrueEnglishGent (3686 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

A fan of the character, but at this point why not add pretty much everyone. The amount of characters Rocksteady have added to this game over the original worries me a little, as Rhaknar said, I play a game called Batman: Arkham City to play as Batman.

#7 Posted by JayCee (446 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

ugh, Emo-wing. He seriously has a Pete Wentz thing going on with his hair.

#8 Posted by phrosnite (3377 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Is he from Japan?

#9 Posted by EchoEcho (600 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

@phrosnite: That's the first thing I thought, too...

I really like Nightwing, though, so I have absolutely no problem with him being in the game.

Interesting. This game looks to be a lot different then AA.

#12 Posted by MooseyMcMan (8558 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Am I the only person who likes Batman best when his only "side kick" is Alfred? He doesn't need 18 Robins, Nightwings, or Oracles/Bat-girls.

Oh well. Won't detract from the game, so whatever. BATMAN.

I'm not a fan of that look, but it's not so bad...

#14 Posted by Snail (7837 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Honestly I I'll just be glad if I can kick some ass as Nightwing, so yay!

Agreed.

Arkham City is just trying to find their place in all of this, I think it is okay for the game, comics not to much

That would have been awesome, but I'd have preferred a red hood section. Any chance of me playing red hood would be good.

#17 Posted by awe_stuck (800 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

He's definitely gay enough. They did a great job

Well they got to save some characters for a third game...I think Damian, Jason, Cassandra, and the rest of BoP can be in the third game lol

So are all users with Mega Man icons crass idiots or just the two of you?

#24 Posted by Subjugation (4332 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Reminds me of when Peter Parker went all emo.

#25 Posted by TheGreatGuero (9067 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Just seeing him makes me want to laugh.

#26 Posted by Aegon (3522 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Do you guys all have buzz cuts or something?

In this game

Tim Drake = Robin

Now I'm interested in seeing your hair so that we can all point and laugh. PICTURES!

I agree. It's getting closer to LEGO Batman at this point.
#31 Posted by niamahai (1383 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

I am gay for Richard Grayson. So will you.

#32 Posted by ryanwho (12083 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Im hoping this is all prelude to being able to play as Red Hood and kick some dudes off buildings.

#33 Posted by dudeglove (6253 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Ugh, why does the unreal engine make everything look as though it's covered in a thin film of grease?

#34 Posted by sungahymn (963 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Nightwing joined the goths apparently.

#35 Posted by Bestostero (2755 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

@Doctorchimp: I like everyone but Damian. I hate him with a passion.

#36 Posted by Hector (3203 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Here is the full body design. I like it!

#37 Edited by Delta_Ass (3193 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Why does he have the hairstyle of a Japanese pop star?

#38 Posted by sickVisionz (1251 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

I like how he's not crazy super Gears of War overmuscled. I wish the Batman character models were like that.

Oh jeebs that hair is soooooooooooo terrible.

Batman: Arkham City - Game of 1000 skins.

#41 Posted by Bestostero (2755 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

hate the hair, and the escrima sticks look weird...but other than that, im glad Nightwing made it, he and Barbara are definitely the best two that Bruce worked with.

#42 Posted by Bestostero (2755 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Just saw this, the Nightwing DLC will release on November 1st, and the Robin DLC will be on November 22 (unless you got it from preordering from Best Buy, like myself)

#43 Posted by Yanngc33 (4472 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Judging from the launch trailer, he may end up in the campaign...

#44 Posted by Rudyftw (554 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

This would be perfect if Red Hood was in this.

Think about it.

He kills criminals and all of Arkham City is a haven for them. It would be like Christmas to him.

Maybe he'll make a cameo or be at the ending watching the events fold and it'll lead into a third installment :)

#46 Posted by SpiritGoat (127 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

First thing I will do once getting him is turn him around and see if they made him live up to the title of "Best Ass In The DC Universe"

#47 Posted by HandsomeDead (11863 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

I think I made out with that guy in a nightclub once.

That would be perfect man. Red Hood isn't campy at all either so it works.

@SpiritGoat: You just ruined this for me.

#49 Posted by ahgunsillyo (398 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

At first, I thought, Oh, so that's why Metal Gear: Rising is taking so long. Rocksteady stole Raiden from Kojima.

Lame joke aside, I think it's pretty cool. They certainly adapted his look far more closely than they did Robin's look, and I find it more than slightly weird that Tim Drake seems to have bigger biceps than Dick Grayson in this game, but I've always really liked Nightwing as a character and am excited to see how his gameplay differs than that of the other playable characters in the game. And hopefully he'll get some pretty awesome alternate costumes as well. I hear he's getting his mulleted Animated Series look, so that's pretty great.

#50 Posted by Bestostero (2755 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

@Rudyftw: They have to save some characters for the next game...keeping my fingers crossed for Birds of Prey, Batwoman, Question and any other of the great residents of Gotham :)
