Great trailer... and could Rocksteady actually make Robin awesome. Loved his small appearance in the trailer. Was going to wait a few weeks to get this game, but that's changed. Looks a blast.

I'm no Batman expert but might that be Robin or Nightwing or whatever? Didn't their Robin design have a hooded cape?

Yes, it is Robin. Wonder why they bothered to show him if he is DLC and (I believe) isn't part of the actual story.

You might already know this, but that's Nolan North. I was caught by surprise when it was mentioned in an interview.

I hope they don't mess with the formula with future games. The gameplay is already good, now just continue telling more good stories. You know, like how movies are not constantly changing direction for each sequel; people liked the first one, then they liked the second one, now they just want more in the third one.

@inappropriate_touchscreen: Yes, but movies aren't games and Arkham City isn't a film. If they're just going to add additional cutscenes onto the same engine, they might as well do it as DLC.

@Teclo: If they're adding a couple hours of new story additions, yeah sure, call it DLC. But what if they just spent their time creating new full-length story assets and focusing on improving the storytelling? That wouldn't fit into our current definition of expansion content I think.

If the game engine is already good enough to justify building another game with it, why not?

I need to make some considerations about working this game into my current budget.
