Holy Exclusive Preorder Character Batman!

Warner Brothers have announced that Robin, as in Batman & Robin, will be available to play in the upcoming Batman: Arkham City's challenge mode... but only if you preorder from JB Hi-Fi in Australia. It's not yet clear if / how the character can be obtained through retail channels in New Zealand.

The Tim Drake version of the character will have his own unique play style, much like Catwoman has her own style - each of which is distinct from the way you play Bats himself.



Arkham City, in case you're unaware, is the followup to the outrageously brilliant Arkham Asylum. Now the asylum has moved to the city and, once again, Gotham's various super villains are up to no good. The new game is open world and aims to provide greater freedom without losing that intense, closed-in vibe of the original.

We've seen quite a bit of it now and it's looking every bit the followup that fans of the first game will be hoping for, bigger and better in every way. Hopefully those impressions follow through to the full game, which releases in October for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. There's also a Wii U version planned, but as the console doesn't come out until "some time" in 2012, it's not clear when that will be.

this sort of pre-order s**t piss's me off, just put it in every game and be done with it.
Back in the golden age of gaming on the NES,SNES,MSII and Megadrive, you bought the game, and if you got a free map or sticker etc, you were happy and played the game,
But these days there is 10 different versions of the same game with their own little extras and it becomes a joke.
If the game developers make it, just give it to all who buy it and stop wasting our money.

I'm sure he will appear on PSN if you don't pre-order much like The Joker did in AA.
