Rocksteady Unveils Arkham City's Robin

[Buizel91]

Well, i have to say his design is totally awesome, he seems darker and mysterious as well, not the stupid little kid that just follows Batman everywhere. The way he is shown there though, his face is revealed...shouldn't he have the Robin Mask?

Still, awesome, can't wait to see how he gets around like Cat Women and Batman.

 

[Geamo]

I like Tim Drake - he's been the more technological of the Robins, and my preference since I prefer Dick Grayson as Nightwing.


As i've mentioned before, I again find myself utterly depressed at the fact that whole new maps and playable characters are released as exclusives for pre-order, especially since I live in the UK. They did it with the Joker maps in Arkham Asylum, and they're pulling the same stunt now. Ugh.

He IS masked.

Batgirl is already in the game. I figured that we would see Robin in the sequel. He should be fun in the Challenge maps. His design is alright, I guess.

..You mean Oracle right?
OT
So Tm Drake FINALLY make a video game appear in a video game? Not counting Lego Batman or DCU Online.


His Uniform is what I epected. Armor in the right places, flexible almost. Tim drake is not the natural acrobat that Dick was. His cape is much shorter then I expected. Long enough to do the basic swipe and glide sections.

Short hair? He look a little angry but meh, Diffrent universe.

Yeah, sorry. I was running under the assumption that people who played the first game knew who she was.

Oh sorry as well. I was Cain was in the game as well.

Robin has never belonged in the Batman universe and will always be ridiculous. This design doesn't exactly sell me on the character, he looks like Starkiller. But I do have faith in Rocksteady to make him more fitting, even if that means making him gritty. I still think he doesn't belong, but at least he stays in the challenge levels.
Oh, but Nightwing is awesome. I want him instead of Catwoman, I don't like her design.

 

[TheDooD]

If they make another Arkham styled game they'll need to make Deathstroke I playable character to counter Batman. Also maybe Red Hood to counter Robin

 

[Distorted Stu]

Judging from the image above, it looks like a young Commander Shepard lol

I can't wait for this game!

 

[TheLoveableMuffin]

I instantly saw Starkiller from Force Unleashed. At least he isn't in green and red short shorts...

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

Oh. My. God. They actually made a "not-retarded" Robin design? Huzzah!! Then again it's in black and white so it could still be in..........*sigh Green and Red. -_-

 

[Electric Alpaca]

The more that Batman is covered, the more I am becoming interested.

Outside of Nolan's works, I have had no exposure to Batman - but the media coverage of this is stating to make me regret it.

Decision made, if I see Batman for sub ten pounds I shall purchase it. I like the gritty, "plausible enough" angle that some superhero films are taking and I suppose I would be amiss not to interact with them as well.

This Robin, looks tough too. Not bad for a sidekick I've always envisioned to be a wet pudding.

 

[GiantRaven]

I'm confused, where is the colour in that image?

Also, since when has Tim Drake ever had a buzzcut?

[/DC fanboy]

The actual costume design is pretty cool though.

They could throw in Cassandra Cain

A thousand times yes!

 

[DarkhoIlow]

What is the point of revealing that he is in the game,if hes not playable?

I,personally,don't like Robin as a sidekick whatsoever so this news isn't that interesting.

 

[ciancon]

Well as long as they explain why Robin's in this and we're not just supposed to assume that he's always been there then i'm ok with that.

 

[Ziel]

I certainly wouldn't have pictured the boy-genius with a shaved head. The top picture on Tim Drake's wikipedia page is as good as "Robin" has ever gotten for me. I was unaware of him since becoming the "Red Robin", who's costume just looks pants-on-head retarded, to be honest.

 

[Zac Smith]

I actually like the design of this Robin, it seems like he'll fit well with the Arkham Asylum / City world

 

[AetherWolf]

TIM DRAKE <3

And I hope Nightwing gets a major role or at the very least a cameo.

I wonder if Damian Wayne will be referenced?
[sub]Probably not, I doubt Arkham City's timeline has gone that far.[/sub]

They could throw in Cassandra Cain

A thousand times yes!

Add another thousand from me!

No Robin was ever wet pudding.

Sure, they wore the pixie boots and the shorts but people seem to forget the first one was Acrobat. (You spare, you din't know that)

Actually, I go over some of the robins.

Spoiler

Dick Grayson was the first. He bcame robin after his parents were killed by Tony Zucco. He is the most connected hero in the DC Uuniverse Bar none. Hell, when he talks, people listen.

Jason Todd was the second Robin. He is the one everyone seem to hate. He died when Joker beat him with a crowbar and left in a warehouse that was rigged with a bomb. Due to Comic books tropes he's a live and killing bad people. He's the robin who to do right but is lost.

Hey! It's timmy. The thrid robin. He's the smart robin. The only person to track down and figured out who is batman. He tried to get Dick to be Robin again. When that failed he became Robin. He's the one wo have to escape out of Jason's Shadow. Treat Dick as a brother and Jason as an enemy.

Well, there are two more. But you caught up to the core 3.

 

[Scrythe]

Of course it's Tim Drake. Dick Grayson wasn't Robin when Barbra Gordon was confined to a wheelchair, and everyone seems to still hate Jason Todd, who was Robin during Batman: The Killing Joke.

Fucking that continuity up would leave most diehard fanboys comatose.

 

[Your Nightmare]

You lookin' a lil' pale there boy..

 

[AgDr_ODST]

I love how Robin in this promo picture looks like Eminem dressed up as Rap Boy!!!
