Don't like the hood. Don't like his weird gauntlets. Don't like his track suit looking pants. Batman looks like he's wearing armor. He looks like he's wearing street clothes.
I actually quite like this. The hood/cape is a little weird, but I like how he looks like he'd be agile, while still being armoured, though not as heavily as Batman.
@Landon: It's hard to say right now if Robin in this universe is even under Batman's wing. He could be striking out as a vigilante on his own (for now), which would explain why he seems to be wearing street clothes, as you call them.
Either three people (1) Loren Lester, who played Dick Grayson/Robin in the Animated series, (2) Matthew Valencia who played Tim Drake/Robin in the new animated series, or (3) Eli Marienthal who played Tim Drake/Robin in Mystery of the Batwoman movie. However, it all depends on the age of Robin in Batman Arkham City.
@PenguinDust: I said the same thing about Robin's hair. It does look a lot like Starkiller from Force Unleashed. Maybe Sam Wittwer is going to be the voice of Robin in the game, he did mention in an interview about playing a 'hero' in a game he couldn't talk about.
@Landon: Don't see any of that.But I thought Robin would be a terrible idea cause he is so cheesy and 70s/80ish he doesn't fit the modern day especially Batman AC for that matter.But they did a really good job.He looks badass and fits the universe right.As long as he has a good voice I would be happy.

I don't get it. Batman went through the EXACT cheese fest as Robin did maybe more so (anti shark repellent) and yet when Robin started to evolve as a character WITH Batman, everyone just ignored him. Robin is a cool character, yet the one they're using here doesn't look badass. He looks like he's TRYING to be badass.
Yeah because Starkiller is the only guy with that hairstyle...lol no, but seriously, my problem with the hair is that Tim doesn't sport that look, nor does any of the Robin's.
And now that I look at it closer, that particular Robin costume is the same as Damian Wayne's, hood and all, just very few minor detail changes.
Meh. I get there's no real way to make Robin look cool and fit in the Arkham visual style but...you equally don't need to make him a 'ruggish thug'. Apparently I was reading earlier in the week that it's because this Robin is a cagefighter. Wat.
I really don't like what Rocksteady's doing with the shaved head and the cagefighting to dark Robin up. I get that nobody takes Robin seriously because of Burt Ward and Chris O'Donnell, but the entire point of him is that he's the counterbalance to Batman. He's supposed to be colorful and fun.
@BananaKid: I'm thinking that because this is a different, sort of not pertaining to comic book Batman continuity, they want to change things by giving characters different moralities or making them a bit darker. With the Arkham games being the most, and only, successes in Batman's gaming franchise, I guess they continue to look for new material
I think if they're willing to fudge with cosmetic tradition so much to make Robin fit this Batman's "universe" they coulda done something about that little batton he waves around.
Is that supposed to be the Red Robin suite or is it just his normal Robin one? oh well, looks ok, until I see what it looks like in game I won't judge
Red Robin is a different character. Red Robin is the Robin that dies, is ressurected, becomes Red Hood, then turns good again. He basically looks like Batman without the ears. This dude looks like Moon Knight or some shit.
@ryanwho: nah Tim Drake is currently Red Robin and was robin after Jason Todd died. I mean it has the hood and they did say that there would be a robin costume and a red robin costume. Or maybe I read the press release wrong
