Robin Announced as Playable Character in Batman Arkham City
Challenge mode in Batman Arkham City is shaping up to be fairly interesting. The latest fully playable character in that mode, as announced today by Warner Bros. Interactive Ent., is Robin. That is, to be specific, the Tim Drake Robin (which also leaves it open for Nightwing to join the 
fray).
Robin will come 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.
Robin is the third playable character confirmed besides Batman (obviously) and Catwoman.
Other characters who have been confirmed (through various sources) which could also mean they are playable in some fashion include:
- Joker
- Harley Quinn
- Mr. Freeze
- Hugo Strange
- Talia Al Ghul
- Poison Ivy
- Riddler
- Two-Face
- Victor Zsasz
- Calendar Man
- Penguin
Then again, they’re all villains so perhaps not. But there could still be room for Batgirl, Huntress, Nightwing and some of the other notables in the Bat-family.
