    I'm planning on running to the store soon to pick up a NOS energy drink for the Batman Beyond skin code, but I have a couple questions about the alternate Batman skins before I do so.

    For anyone who has used either the Beyond or Dark Knight Returns skins: does anything about Batman's animations change?

    Without having seen either in motion, it seems like the Dark Knight Returns skin would clip through itself with some of his animations, and the Beyond suit is supposed to function very differently from the standard Batman getup-- does it have rocket feet? Did it grow a cape just to fit the existing mechanics?

    Also, does batman's face still animate properly while talking when using alternate skins? When playing Captain America with the alternate costumes, I noticed that he only had mouth animations roughly half the time. Do Batman's alternate costumes measure up?

    I have the Batman Beyond skin. Everything seems the same other than the suit itself. No rocket feet - he still uses the grapple hook.

    Everything seems to animate real nicely. Specifically in the case of the Beyond skin, the wings/cape he uses to glide sprout out when needed, just like they do in the show.

    I am more curious to see those skins that were different from the game's art. The animated series skin, and the one that made Batman all beefy looking.

    However, since they are being released in December, I went ahead and finished the New Game+.

    I have all the skins (except the Sinestro one) and the animation is the same.
