Rumor: Boy Wonder Could Be Playable in Arkham City

[Torey Jefferson]

it's always cool to have more characters in the game long as it make sense i would love to see nightwing or the hood

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Which Robin? There've been so many... Though the fact that Oracle was in the first one suggests that Dick Grayson would now be Nightwing, and Jason Todd dead. And I quite like Tim Drake.

Though it'd be kind of entertaining if we had Dick as Batman, and Damian Wayne as Robin. What we've seen so far with Catwoman suggests that ain't the case though.

batman arkham asylum was supposed to be a very new batman that's why hes just now meeting catwoman on this one so i'm guessing dick grayson.. but i could be wrong

Too many references to current-ish comic continuity for that to be the case, I think. But we shall see. I'm guessing Tim, personally.

Call this game the Jackson 5, cause it's gunna be Rockin Robin.

that was even below you hankman... im disappointed

Hell yeah! I'm psyched for Robin's inclusion. I've always had a soft spot for the Boy Wonder, it'll be great to see him in this game. I just hope he shows up at some point in the main story. Not playable, but just shows up sometime.

Well if the game series is up to date with the comics hopefully we get a look at Robin, Nightwing, Huntress/Batgirl, and possibly the Red Hood.

Interesting. I didn't realize companies tried to deter you from pre-ordering their game.

It may actually be Tim.

Joker did say batman had a lot of kids running around in the first game.

I hope he look like this:

That picture actually looks epic, Dr. Wonderful.

And as long as this is optional, it's not worth getting worried about. I'm guessing Tim Drake as Robin though, but here's keeping my fingers crossed for Nightwing to show up. Dick Greyson is the man.

And Robin is an essential Batman character. He keeps Batman tethered to his humanity. He provides a human element that reminds Batman he's not a psychopath. It's actually a pretty important character.

Crossing fingers for multiple costumes though. Dick Greyson's Batman, Bruce Wayne's Batman Inc outfit, movie outfits, etc ;D

Everyone seems to hate robin, but I like him. He is actually a very dark character (the one that eventually becomes nightwing). I just don?t think that the films and TV shows do him justice.

I know Arkham City will do it right. He?s going to be doing mad flips and shiz, he is more agile than Batman afterall. Christopher Nolan could probably do it right as well, but he's too chicken XD

Can blame Chris O'Donnell for the recent hate against the character. Haven't read Batman in an age, does he still sport the high visibility green/yellow/red outfit?

Agility probably comes from the lack of bulletproof/resistant body armour. Coupled with the high visibility colours and you can see why Batman keeps him around. Nolan is likely trying to distance himself from the bad Schumacher movies containing said bullet magnet.

Robin would ruin the feel of the game. So I won't be pre-ordering from Best Buy.
