Batman: Arkham City's Nightwing, Catwoman DLC

Trophies Spill the Beans


PS3Trophies.org has the Arkham City Trophy list posted, and it has two interesting items under DLC – two Nightwing trophies and a slew of Catwoman ones.

They show Nightwing (aka Dick Grayson, the first Robin) is a playable character in challenge maps, but it also points out that Catwoman isn't included on Arkham City disc. Most likely, Catwoman missions come via a code bundled in with the game, as the Joker maps in Batman: Arkham Asylum did. So if you buy Arkham City second hand, be prepared to pay extra for the goods via Xbox Live or PSN.

Is This The Robin We'll See In Arkham City?

Sure, we've had concept art of Robin for one of our most anticipated games, Batman: Arkham City, but is this the final look?

It's episode 4 of the Arkham City mini series; a comic series bridging the gap between Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, and the latest instalment sees the Boy Wonder in new threads *gasp* on patrol without Batman. We've posted some pics below to goad you into buying the digital only comic (c'mon, it's only 59p).


























It's not far off the concept art, but we're still not totally loving the hood, but the whole look gives the boy wonder a kind of Assassins Creed/inFamous kind of vibe.

And that's fine with us.

Batman: Arkham City; Robin Explained

Speaking on the Arkham City community forums, Senior Concept Artist Kan Mutfic has given the "final word" on the team's vision for Robin. Here's what he had to say:

"We wanted to create a Robin that players would identify as a contemporary character and move away from the traditional "Boy Wonder" image that most people know. Our vision of Robin is the one of a troubled young individual that is calm and introverted at times but very dangerous and aggressive if provoked. The shaved head is inspired by cage fighters, because we thought that Robin might be doing that in his spare time to keep him on his toes. Still, we kept all the classic trademarks of Robin's appearance, such as the red and yellow colors of his outfit, the cape and the mask.

We really hope that people will discover our Robin as one of their new favorite characters in the Batman universe. He is back and he means business." KAN MUTFIC, JULY 2011
