Arkham City Pre-Order Skins Collection

Arkham City Pre-Order Skins Collection

The many suits of Batman

Written by Lavindathar on 02 August 11 at 14:12

Over the last few weeks, the hype surrounding Rocksteady Studio's upcoming Batman: Arkham City is definitely reaching fever-point. In addition to the audio virals that have been surfacing on the internet, retailers wordwide have amassed a collection of pre-order skins for the game.

So far there have been six separate Batman skins revealed and we know that Robin is getting some pre-order love as well.

First up, is the 1970's skin, available from Shopto.net and Toys 'R' Us.

The Dark Knight Returns skin is available by purchasing the Collector's Edition of the game.

MightyApe is also offering three costumes as a special bonus to anyone who pre-orders with them , including Animated Batman, Earth One Batman and the previously shown Batman Beyond skin.

Best Buy have also confirmed that they are offering a Red Robin skin, which could either be based on the 1970's Robin or the latest iteration of the character. Unfortunately, no images have surfaced of the skin itself.

As you can see from the confirmed retailers above, there are a lot of retailers who have not yet announced their pre-order bonuses. It's currently unconfirmed if any new skins are on the way, or how the above skins will be allocated between the remaining retailers.

Batman: Arkham City will be released on October 18th in North America, October 19th in Austrailia, and October 21st in Europe.

The Red Robin costume is most like based on Tim Drake's newest identity as Red Robin and not some 70's costume. Here's a picture:

Based on the Dark Knight Returns skin, I'd say the new Batman is none other than a fatter Chris Redfield.

The Batman Beyond skin looks terribly out of proportion (as it wasn't Bruce Wayne to start with) but the 70's/animated skins look great.

The batman beyond skin easily wins. Though the Dark Knight skin is close behind. The 1970's skin is just too colorful I think...doesn't really look right in my opinion.
You seem a little furious...

These look awesome, though the Beyond one seems a bit too dark... almost evil. The others look like a lot of fun. Might have to make a DLC purchase.

Animated Batman Alright! Hopefully Adam West will fully voice the 70s one.

On another note, I love the 70's Batman. My favorite by far. I might have to check out Mighty Ape, seeing how I've never heard of it.

(Update) Nevermind. I understand that Mighty Ape is based in New Zealand, but these skins are definitely not worth the $190 price tag. I guess I'll be going with Toys 'R Us after all. Also, there is a good chance that these will all be released as DLC later on. I can wait.
