Robin aka Tim Drake costumes i would love to see

Robin comes with fresh swag in Arkham Challenge Maps

The news of robin being in Arkham City was a breath of fresh air and a bit of sadness also, I loved the idea of playing as Tim Drake because I knew Bruce/ Batman was going to possibly need help in Arkham City. Seems weird that they would have Batman doing this big landscape alone since Batman had Batgirl and Robin to help him out when things got too much for him to handle. When more news that he was only exclusive to challenge maps I was in a debate like, Robin is in the game but not in the story? Left me thinking well which Robin is going to be included? The way the story is going if Barbara is already Oracle then it would have to be Tim Drake since the accident with her happened during that time line. Low and behold my nerd powers of deduction were right on the R on his suit and it is Tim Drake. The images below are our boy Tim in new threads just ready to challenge anything in his way: Red Robin, Regular Tim in his Arkham City look, and Batman the Animated Series Tim.

Got to say I love the fact that even the challenge map specific characters get their own skins instead of just being the one and we deal with it. There really working to make this game all around awesome, so when October when this game releases I’ll be excited to see what Tim is capable of although I know staff play is going to be included.

(Update) The Boy Wonder is in Batman Arkham City.

Tim Drake gets the Robin spot in Arkham City.

Dont leave out Dick Grayson as Nightwing though, remember that Flying Grayson poster they teased us with?

Just when I thought batman couldn’t handle arkham city on his own we get the Robin signal to help us on the situation. Although not confirmed to be in the story Best Buy confirms that if you preorder the game from them you get Robin and two exclusive maps for him when you pick up the game. No word on whether it will be system specific like the Joker challenge maps on ps3 for Batman Arkham Asylum. But if we’re talking exclusive robin which one are we talking? Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, or Tim Drake or even Damien Wayne the son of the bat, my vote is on Tim drake for the boy wonder in the game.

 

 

Dick Grayson would fit better in this game as Nightwing to occasionally help and aid his mentor Batman since it’s a larger environment I’m still convinced Batman will need all the help he can get. Jason Todd later turned Red Hood I feel would make a better Red Hood appearance to give Batman a run for his money since Red Hood is so good at that anyway. Damien would be nice but I doubt the game stories are taken that far into the universe where were introduced to the son of the bat but I wouldn’t mind him being a skin for the Robin character.

I still can’t wait for this game I’m hoping they add more costumes this time around, all comic book based games need to have more costumes that everyone knows will be popular and not only that but give us more reasons to play it again and again.

Here are my top picks for batman alternate costumes in batman arkham city:
