Best Buy has leaked on its website that the Boy Wonder himself, Robin will be a playable character in Batman: Arkham City.
Robin is an exclusive pre-order character that you can play in the game’s challenge maps. This is much like The Joker was made a playable character for the PS3 version of Batman: Arkham Asylum.
He will only be available if you pre-order the Batman: Arkham City via Best Buy in North America on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
Here’s the full description 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.
Rocksteady is expected to make its own official announcement of Robin’s involvement in Batman: Arkham City later this week.
