Really REALLY torn on the Batman Beyond costume. Yes SH is right.. it only looks bulky because thats Bruce Waynes frame in the suit. (apparently its magical, because it fits a full sized man then fits a teen without any alterations?!?)

I love the look and it has me excited, but it feels so out of place. However. I guess my overall answer is to approve considering that if nothing else it helps to perpetuate the Batman Beyond line which is finally starting to make a comeback. Heres hoping.
Man, it's powered armor with the feel of cloth. I think it being magic has already been established.

Batman Animated Series costume...AND Batman Beyond costume?!


I just hope they're both available in the U.S. They'd better be future DLC if they aren't.

Batman Beyond costume = HELL YES!

Children these days need to be educated that there was a futuristic Batman cartoon that kicked ass!

It might be funny if they included an Adam West costume. Of course it wouldn't work because Batman wouldn't be wearing armor he would be wearing... Pyjamas. Yeah, shoot him once and he's dead.

I loved Batman beyond! And now we get a costume of it, this is so awesome. My question is how would it work? It doesn't even have a cape! The gliding will work since the BB suit has red bat wings so those could come out when gliding but what about things like the cape stun? Will he just smack you with the red wings? Because that might look silly, the gliding on the other hand will look awesome.

Batman beyond and batman animated series are definitely the ones I want, but will I be able to get both?

I know this is pedantic to the point of absurdity but the Earth One costume has been Bruce Wayne's regular costume for the better part of a year now.

On second thoughts I think Adam West Batman is nearly unbeatable. You have to be if you fight people with POW! WHAM! and OUCH! I also believe now that Burt Ward Robin would be unbeatable. I mean he isn't wearing any pants, someone is going die of laughter. At least we won't see any Bat nipples in Arkham City. (Unless they decide to have bullets shoot out of them)

I'd take all of them. Wouldn't it be awesome if choosing Batman's costume would automatically swap enemy textures to match the outfit?

HOLY BALLS THAT'S AWESOME!

Although Animates Series Bats looks a little creepy for some reason.

Now if only we could get Azrael's suit in there...

I thought that was his big return/batman inc suit when i first saw it. Is Earth One what DC's calling the result of their new reboot, or is this just a story from the multiverse that they constantly try and fail at micromanaging?

I'm not so sure. The Adam West costume runs into the same problem that the Batman Beyond costume does: that character was agile and lean. Batman, as depicted in the comics and in Arkham Asylum, is most definitely buff, especially with the somewhat brute-force fighting style he uses in the game.

Plus, I never really liked the Adam West version. It reeked of the "safe, family friendly" attitudes which made more serious discussions about personal tragedy incredibly difficult to adequately discuss.

That, and there was no Two-Face (for the same "family friendly" reasons). While the Joker is Batman's number one foe, his complex relation with Harvey Dent/Two-Face is much more interesting, especially considering that he's essentially a parallel of Batman who chose taking his pain out through criminal acts rather than Batman's vigilantism. It's one of the reasons Batman is much more sympathetic to Dent and, in most origin stories, he also is semi-responsible for Harvey's condition, which haunts Bruce and is embraced by Two-Face's duel personality. To put it simply (if you'll forgive the pun): They're two sides of the same coin. One fights for the justice of law, the other fights for the justice of chaos.

Dark Knight Returns looks awesome. Looking forward to smashing foes as old beefy batman. Bullshit that it's pre-order only, that shit still rubs me the wrong way.

Oh my GOD!!!

They look amazing!! :D I will be literally sick to me stomach if I can't get at least one alternative skin...

The Dark Knight Returns Batman is awesome, even if it does look a little weird... And do I really need to say anything about how fucking awesome the Animated Series one is?

Now if only Batman: Year One was amongst them...

I LOVED Batman Beyond. I love all the others skins and really want them too but I want the Beyond skill at release. They better make these all in a dlc pack. As long as that dlc pack is only 400 msp (<$5 or less). If they're not I will be a very sad panda.

Edit: Found the List of skins and retailers. makes me sad. I mean it's nice that other countries get stuff too but why not make it available everywhere, or better yet make them unlockable in- game (GASP). Anyway, here they are:
Skin: Batman Beyond Batsuit - Pre-order Batman: Arkham City from GameStop.co.uk or MightyApe
Skin: The Dark Knight Returns Batsuit - Purchase the Batman: Arkham City Collector?s Edition from any store.
Skin: Earth One - How to get it: Purchase the Batman: Arkham City from MightyApe.
Skin: 1970&#8242;s Batman Batsuit - Pre-order Batman: Arkham City from ShopTo.net (UK), EB Games (Australia/NZ) or Toys R Us (USA)
Skin: The Animated Series - Purchase the Batman: Arkham City from MightyApe.
Character: Robin - Red Robin suit - Pre-order Batman: Arkham City from Best-Buy (USA), GamesMania.be (Holland) or JB Hi-Fi (Australia)

Store: GameStop (USA) - Exclusive in game ?Joker?s Carnival? challenge map
Store: Amazon.com (USA) - Exclusive collection of all the 8 page Batman: Arkham City ?digital only? interludes in print + $10 Amazon credit
Store: Toys R Us (USA) - 1970s Legacy Batman: Arkham City action figure

I like the implications here, after release we could be seeing more DLC skins like 30's Batman, Burton's Batman and, Nolan's Batman. As for what we have here though this is great! It's interesting to see the Batman Beyond suit made it since I thought that one wasn't...you know...popular. Not that it was hated I just thought it wasn't as well received as the other iterations.

Hey, maybe Robin will have DLC costumes too! And Catwoman!!
