Robin will not be wearing his green underwear in Batman: Arkham City. Phew. Best Buy has released the first image of the Boy Wonder as he'll appear in the pre-order bonus for Rocksteady's upcoming sequel.

The rundown on the Tim Drake Robin Pack from Best Buy:
While supplies last, pre-order the game for an exclusive downloadable Robin character. Robin is a fully playable character in the new and improved challenge mode in Batman: Arkham City. The Tim Drake Robin pack is available exclusively to fans who pre-order the game from Best Buy on Xbox 360, PC and PS3. Robin comes complete with his own unique gadgets and special moves, and will be playable in all challenge maps in the game, as well as two additional challenge maps that are included with the pack: Black Mask Hideout and Freight Train Escape. The pack will also contain a bonus Red Robin character skin.
And here he is:


While Catwoman will be a playable character in the Batman: Arkham City campaign, Robin will only be playable in the game's challenge modes, Rocksteady notes. Further, the Best Buy pre-order is only available in the U.S. The studio said it plans to announce European and Canadian retailers soon.

Batman: Arkham City is set for release on October 18.


Sharkey says: I'm guessing Robin will also be available as part of a paid DLC pack at some point. And yes, Black Mask has been officially confirmed and he will have "a presence in Arkham City," Rocksteady states.
