Meet the Batmen, and a Batman/Bane teamup
Posted: 02.08.2011 06:03 by JonahFalcon Comments: 7
You may remember the alternate Batman Beyond skin available in Batman: Arkham City revealed a few days ago? Well, that was barely scratching the surface, as Batman fans will have an orgasmic selection of skins to pick from.


From left to right, you have the Batman Beyond skin. The next skin is Frank Miller's vision of Batman from The Dark Knight Returns. Next to him is the Earth-One Batman, and then the 1970's comic Batman. The Batman Adventures Batman is the most striking looking (oddly, his skin is cartoon cel-shade-ish, while Batman Beyond's isn't.) All the way on the right is the Arkham Asylum Batman gamers got to know from Rocksteady. Each one will be DLC and preorder bonuses for various retailers.

If that weren't enough, Bat-fans will be excited to find out that Batman teams up with Bane in one mission in Batman: Arkham City. According to Rocksteady, Bane and Batman will team up to take down a gang distributing a "chemical contraband." You have to be careful, however, because when Bane goes into his berserker mode, he's just as apt to clock you as he is the enemies.


Let us know what you think.

I love seeing the good ol' cartoon Batman. Too bad I won't get it from any of the "big" retailers these skins will probably go to.

Yeah it's a shame that most of these skins I'll never get to play with most likely. I barely if ever pre-order a game and never from eb games/gamestop

hopefully they'll unlock them all in a game of the year editionat some point.

The bonus part is that the cartoon Batman was voiced by Kevin Conroy, who does the voice for the Arkham games. :D

Mark Hamil does all the Joker voices in games/cartoons/ animated movies since the Batman cartoon in the 90's too! I think he does a great job of it.

Nope. Others have done the Joker, like John DiMaggio in Mask of the Red Hood.

Nice selection of skins but this should be a standard part of the game. I don't like this day 1 DLC plague.
