Batman Shows Off More of His New Wardrobe for Arkham City

[Pedro The Hutt]

Maybe I'm just getting my hopes up here but I do hope that the Animated Batman costume will later be joined by DLC that styles every character in the game like in the animated series. Because that would be ~awesome~

 

[ckam]

Yay, we get TAS Batman!

 

[PunkRex]

I like the retro 70's one but why cant we get one with an actual Adam West physique?

Also where is the Dark Knight returns suit actually from? I know the origin of all the others (My gawd I loved Batman Beyond).

 

[Worr Monger]

Adam West Batman! WE DEMAND IT!

This... I wanna be Adam West Batman... VOICE AND ALL.

I also want an option where words pop up in the middle of fights like "POW!"

 

[Jamiemitsu]

Am I the only one who likes the uber beefy Dark Knight returns costume better than the rest? (Well, apart from the classic and animated series costumes, but those are surely a given)

Rocksteady definitely knows how to please bat fans.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

Oh my fucking God, it's the future-Batman outfit. I am in love with that outfit! I would actually have sex with anyone who happened to be wearing that...

[sub]Note to self: find replica of that outfit in Jordan's size.[/sub]

But FUCK PRE-ORDER BONUSES! Seriously, I hate pre-order bonus shit. Just give us all the fucking content. Is that really so fucking difficult nowadays? I don't want to have to seek out a specific place and pre-order it when I'm not even sure I'll be able to afford it, just to get the best-looking Batsuit.

Fuck the games industry sometimes man. Just... fuck it.

Errr... The Dark Knight Returns.

 

[Mr Dizazta]

To everybody about the Batman Beyond skin, Bruce was the first one to wear the Batman Beyond suit, as demonstrated in the first episode of Batman Beyond.

PS. I so hope Gamestop(USA) gets that skin. If they do, I will Preorder this sucker right now.

 

[Hydro Imp]

Dark Knight Returns Batman looks the best I reckon, and also I noticed on the pre order info for Game.co.uk that it says early access to the Dark Knight Returns skin so here's hoping that means all will be DLC like they did with the Crime Ally challenge map on Asylum

 

[GiantRaven]

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?

Batman: Earth One is an original graphic novel aimed a retelling Batman's origin in a modernised fashion, with DC hoping to capture new readers due to being more available in bookstores than the single issue format.

With the relaunch happening, and the fact that their have been basically no updates since it was first announced, I don't really know how relevant it is anymore. Personally, I doubt it will ever come out as it's writer, Geoff Johns, has many other more important projects.

 

[MercurySteam]

HOLY HELL, I want that blue retro outfit.

Over here in OZ that outfit comes with the Steelbook Edition of Arkham City from EB. I can't say what the Canadian versions will have though.

 

[Tarakos]

Those are all awesome. I'm gonna go with the Earth One as my fav, followed by...hmm, probably the Batman Beyond costume. Loved that damn show.

Though what I'd really like to know is, are these outfits gonna be Challenge Mode-only? Cuz the only other alternate costume in the first game could only be used in the Challenge Rooms. Somehow, I doubt they'll be making an appearance in the story. Seems like that would constitute more work on the part of the devs (animations and such). But I'll hope otherwise nonetheless.

 

[Formica Archonis]

Not liking The Dark Knight Returns one. But I wasn't for that art style anyway. Every hero looks like a garbage bag full of steaks.

 

[ZeroAE]

I loved the Beyond series! And now its a skin!
But it looks very beefy, while the original is slim.
That was what maked the Beyond costume awesome...

But only as pre-order!?
So, they literally forgot about South America.
/facepalm

Me want Batman Beyond Game dammit! Now I'm this much closer. First it was the BB mod for Arkham Asylum, now they have an actual costume!

The thing I like the most is how each costume characterizes the different bulk and weight of the suit. The Batman Beyond suit is very slim and athletic, while the Dark Knight Returns suit is built like a tank.

This is pure awesomesauce. Though I am not sure about Batman Beyond's bulky look.

It actually works. If you watch the first episode of Batman Beyond, it shows what Bruce Wayne looked like wearing the suit. He was still huge in it. Terry's just a teen, so he's skinny.

There was a Batman Beyond game, and if I remember correctly it was actually decent. It was 10 years ago and I was a lot more easily amused back then so I may be mistaken about the quality.

You mean the awful Return of the Joker game on the N64? I hated that game. I want something like Arkham Asylum, except with invisibility, rocket boots, and an attack dog.

 

[Julianking93]

I'm really really really liking the Batman Beyond one >.>

I played it on the PS1, didn't know it was on the N64. I'd love to see them go back to Batman Beyond and take a Ghost in the Shell angle on it, it's the perfect premise. What's this Arkham Asylum mod you mention?

 

[SangRahl]

I have to say that the Batman Beyond suit looks nice... I wonder if the expandable arm/wing flaps will come out when you glide? If so, I'm completely sold.

Too bad it'll likely end up a Gamestop exclusive and I'll be stuck with whatever Amazon may have (or may not have, as the case may be).

There's a few flubs around the mouth area; you can see where the cowl of the AA suit is, but it looks very nice.
