As a playable character in challenge map mode, but there's a catch. It's a pre-order exclusive from Best Buy.

 

[Gravijah]

lol

 

[HK-47]

lol wut

 

[ThanksVision]

NOO!

FUCK Robin!

 

[TheOddOne]

Smh.

 

[Totobeni]

yo Amazon, gimme playable Cassandra Cain and I will pre order the game from your site..

 

[Stumpokapow]

So I guess they felt the Joker challenge map PS3 thing worked well last time and want to expand on it.

 

[Riposte]

Wasn't Tim mentioned by name in AA? With Dick being Nightwing? DCU is going through some strange shit right now... probably Dick in tights.

EDIT: WTF are they going to do with Oracle...

yo Amazon, gimme playable Cassandra Cain and I will pre order the game from your site..

Ditto.

 

[Sean]

These retailer exclusive pre-order bonuses are bullshit, especially since Amazon always seems to get the crappiest ones.

Can't wait to see all the various pre-order bonuses, then.

Hoo boy...

Who cares!? This game will be great!

Shitty pre-order bonuses/DLC and great games are not mutually exclusive.

Darn it Warner! Stop this stuff. I know we should expect it after the Mortal Kombat situation, but come on! A game this good, with this much hype around it, it doesn't need extra incentives to get people to buy it day 1.

No one should be playing a lesser version of such a sure-fire hit.

 

[VeryGooster]

Robin?

LOL. Taking it to Amazon, Best Buy, but thanks.

Isn't this best buy and not Warner though?

 

[markot]

Well, Warner has to agree to it.

 

[Polk]

I cannot blame Best Buy wanting to have something exclusive, but in the end it was Warner that said ok to this shit.

 

[Gravijah]

Warner creates the content, BB "buys" it, no?

 

[Data West]

Isn't this best buy and not Warner though?

It's not like Best Buy says 'Give us a preorder bonus or we're not gonna stock your game'.

 

[Diablohead]

Long as he stays as challenge maps only I am ok.

 

[hamchan]

Robin is fine. He was only lame in the old batman show and those horrible movies.

 

[Htown]

This retailer exclusive bullshit is the worst thing about this generation.

 

[Hot Coldman]

People, this is a good thing. It means we get the choice to have a Robin-free Arkham City experience. Meanwhile, it also lets us know who the bad people are. They're the people who pre-order from Best Buy, if you couldn't work it out.

 

[Snuggles]

Good, they should go all out with playable characters in challenge mode. Playing as Joker was pretty badass.

LOL Bestbuy, though, I'm not gonna buy from there.

 

[Shurs]

Retailer exclusive pre-order bonuses?

Fuck that noise. I'm buying this game used.

Make sure to purchase your wonderful Online Pass!

Just a reminder how awesome this game will be.

 

[Jigsaw]

FUCK Robin!

.

[Router]

I dont get the hate. There was only ever 1 shit robin an they killed him off anyway.

Look we dont need you shilling. Plenty of us are still getting the game. But exclusive preorder bullshit is just that. Fucking bullshit.

 

[markot]

I like Robin.

I dont like Retailer exclusive shit.....

 

[Soda]

You know how if you pirated arkham asylum, batman's cape wouldnt glide? Well for arkham city, the anti piracy should be that you have to play as robin.

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

Calling it now. Nightwing Gamestop exclusive.

 

[HK-47]

Make it Red Robin and I'd pirate that shit so hard.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I prefer Nightwing. Mainly because he's proof that the Batman/sidekick relationship shouldn't work, and works better when they end up going their seperate ways. The best Robin was the one from DKR anyways

 

[DrForester]

This retailer exclusive bullshit is the worst thing about the industry.

Fixed. This stuff isn't going anywhere.

 

[Riposte]

They temporarily killed a female Robin who wasn't particularly liked at all. Then she suddenly wasn't dead and she became Batgirl. Then Oracle stopped being paralyzed and became Batgirl. Yeah

 

[corporate cheerleader]

Haha, should have made it more clear that I'm on your side.

 

[Riposte]

Tim Drake and Cassandra Cain are my favorite characters in the DCU, but their chances of being in a game is unlikely. Tim has a chance I guess.

 

[Soda]

That robin

 

[AceBandage]

They're ok.

 

[HK-47]

They really fucked up Cain though. I couldnt really get excite for something regarding her.

Of course I've almost completely gravitated away from the two big mainstream universes. I cant deal with the malignant cliches or constant reboots and crisis crossovers.

 

[JazzmanZ]

let me guess what the other Exclusives will be...

Wal-mart - Get yer Batman plot armour

Gamespot - playable nightwing in challenge maps!

K-mart - play as a optional costume of the batman of zur-en-arrh!

Target - Play as a giant piece of tofu when you beat the game the first time.

 

[Kurtofan]

The only place worthy of Robin.

Edit:I find cute that people still get mad about retailer exclusive shit, it's like what the hundredth game with it?

 

[Larson Conway]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Isn't this like making Luigi a retailer pre-order exclusive character?

 

[DominoKid]

fuck it. guess i'll be getting it at Best Buy

 

[Snuggles]

Edit:I find cute that people still get mad about retailer exclusive shit, it's like what the hundredth game with it?

It's cute, isn't it? It happens all the time so we should be complacent about it by now, since it's best for us to just accept shitty business practices and move on.

 

[LevityNYC]

The only good Robin.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

I'll wait for the GOTY again.

 

[Kurtofan]

Never said that, just thought it was funny.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

well I guess game's so packed with awesomeness they needed something as bland as Robin to lower the excitement
