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 >.<

That's Nightwing alright.

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

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

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.

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

Is he from Japan?

@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.

I fucking wish.

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

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...

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.

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

That would hurt it more than help. I know I hate the bat brats....

I don't know about comics

Stop making fun of his hair (has similar hair).

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

Reminds me of when Peter Parker went all emo.

Just seeing him makes me want to laugh.

Do you guys all have buzz cuts or something?

Batman has had like 4 Robins

In this game

Tim Drake = Robin

Dick Grayson = Nightwing

"I am lightning... The rain transformed..."

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

I am gay for Richard Grayson. So will you.

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

Nightwing joined the goths apparently.

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

Here is the full body design. I like it!

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

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.

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.

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)

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

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 :)

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"

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.

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.

@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 :)
