Rocksteady Unveils Arkham City's Robin

[Sniper Team 4]

Okay, do something about the hair. Robin--every Robin actually--does not have a shaved fuzzy head. He doesn't look like Robin. He looks like the main character from Infamous, especially the way he has his face tilted down and that scowl on.

Reminds me of Cole/Starkiller ... Sorry, but I think Robin should have a moderate amount of black hear ...

While I was surprised by Robin's redesign, I was happy Rocksteady changed him to fit the overall mood of the Arkham games.

I feel he'll fit in quite nicely, especially after my skepticism of how he would look.

 

[Vault Citizen]

why is his hair so short?

 

[Veldel]

It's probably too much to ask for Batgirl

Batgirl becomes oracle and she was in the 1st game

I'm not going to pre-order from Best Buy (or from anyone). Unless it comes as free DLC later on, it sucks that I along with a lot of other people will miss out on this.

 

[Owlslayer]

Looks....
Bad-ass. Seriously. I was expecting, or actually fearing to see some douche-Robin. But he looks tough and bad-ass.
I approve.

Damn, i wanna get my hands all over that game.

 

[Jamous]

Oh god yes this just gets better than betterer. I'd love to see how much they do. Hope it lives up to AA. Want it now! >_<

I've never really liked Batman's sidekicks. I prefer the image of him fighting on his own. However, this Robin doesn't look as goofy as the typical image of Robin does, so I am fine with this.

Dammit Rocksteady cutting off all his hair does not make him edgy and new it makes him look generic and emo. You put Robin's hair back and then go to your room!

I'm not a fan of Robin's look in this universe. He looks like he should be slashing his wrist and complaining about how unfair the world is not busting mooks' heads. It's nice to see Batman media that actually acknowledges the long time and ubiquitous character though. Batman has to have his Robin.

 

[Sean Strife]

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. -_-

At least it's not these two colors.

After watching that Batman Animated Movie thing with the Joker doing 'evil experiments', I'm totally lost with Tim Drake's canon story. Why is he here now, and what the hell is going on, anyone know?..

 

[Innegativeion]

He kind of reminds me of Cole Mcgrath,

My first thought exactly.

It looks like Cole decided to go "official" comic book super hero and get himself a super suit and an extremely corny hero name that begins with R like.

It is very nice to see Robin wearing pants and not tighty-greenies

Do you mean Batman Beyond: the Return of the Joker?

Yeah, I think that was it. Honestly, have no idea what's going anymore.

I'll hold full judgement until I see him in-game, but at first glance this is awful costume design. As others mentioned, like Infamous 1 Cole or like Eminem.

Definitely not an incentive to shop at a specific retailer for me.
