I've had this game preordered forever, I wonder if these additions will be added to my preorder.

That's what I'm hoping. I like these costumes, so I'm all for getting them free day one as opposed to paying for them in a couple weeks.

Yes, yes it was.Arkham City's TDKR skin was way better then that.
You mean Blargh-wesome.

I love Pokken!
Still surprised they didn't announced a Batfleck skin

Looks like no one is missing out by not preordering.

I don't know why they keep adding the Fatman suit when it always looks so friggin' awkward. I suspect it's always been clip city in cutscenes, but I've never been brave enough to try using it.
I think the TDKR skin more or less doubles as that.

Beyond suit looks okay, though I'm starting to get the impression Batman is becoming Robocop.

So we're not gonna talk about how the Beyond skin is pretty much just Arkham Knight with longer ears and a Batman Beyond symbol?
Okay.
Okay.

You know what, you're right. The Beyond suit looks awesome.
Although if his face was only tinted black it'll look hella weird when he's lipsyncing.

It being a bonus skin should mean it doesn't have to stick to the limits of the art style. Plus, it's never held them back before:

Yeah, the skins for Arkham Knight are fucking atrocious.
The Batman Beyond one is the closest they've gotten to something good and for whatever reason they decided to fuck up the cowl.
I mean, lol:
This is so bad

The animated Batman skin endures as the best custom skin the Arkham games have ever had. It's so good.

These alt costumes are just ugly. I guess I'll continue to not use the alt skins. The Animated series one is the only one I'd use.

Store exclusive pre-order bonuses are such bullshit...

That is ugly.
Is this so hard?
Yes it can be hard to translate animation and comic books into detailed 3D graphics. The Beyond suit is largely made of two colours and lacks significant definition. In my opinion it looks terrible, even in the show, but whatever.

Someone tell me what retailer this is a preorder bonus for? Need to add it to the spreadsheet:
Edit: It's steam, updated the spreadsheet.

Not this pre-order shit again.
I'll wait until I can get Viking Batman with hairworks on his cape so I can destroy my gpu. Or I'll wait for the inevitable GOTY of the Year edition complete with shitty box art and everything wrapped up in a nice tidy package.

Thank you. Why, oh why are they keeping the same face model for all the suits, even when it clashes with the suit itself, like it does here? The TDKReturns skin in Arkham City had a different face.

It looks bad even on the main suit.

The default suit's head at least looks more proportional to the body. This TDKR skin makes his body bigger while keeping the same normal sized head. Turrible, at least based on that promo shot.

All the different pre-order bonuses is getting Watch_Dogs bad. Its going to have more pre-order skins than unlockable ones at this rate.
Im happy with my Batmobile edition and i know im going to get the season pass. I hope some of the skins like these are on console and unlocked from doing challenges or season pass or something like that.
Someone posted a photo on reddit of the files for the PSN pre-order and it has a Flashpoint Batman skin, But that might be from the season pass.

It was worse for Arkham City. There's roughly 5 or so different preorder bonuses that are in-game things for AK, but for AC there was more, many of which were tied to retailers only in certain regions. And for AC they eventually all came out as a DLC pack.

I was talking to someone who prefers comics over games, but enjoys this series. He didn't like how they've added so many features to the suit. It makes him bulge out and look futuristic.
I don't mind it. I guess a large audience wouldn't mind. These suits aren't getting enough justice with the jpegs. I think time will tell when they release in-game footage or we get to see how it is live.
The small head, hyper Pre-Order detail to his costume, and the like is like the only thing we're seeing. It's Batman at full speed. I think they need to slow it down a bit, but I'm looking forward to it.

I was really hoping they'd do another TDKR skin but this one does not look very good...
The Arkham City version was way nicer. Also the fact that this is apparently tied to steam preorders is a bummer. The more of this crap I see, the more I feel like I should just wait for the GOTY version.

Tim Drake is the new Batman Beyond.

If they had made beyond suit's arms and mask like the rest of the body, it would have looked fine. I'm talking about the game's skin.
Other than that, I hope we will get a Batman Beyond game someday. If they will do it right, it will be awesome. Just like a Batman Beyond movie.

Hopefully Batman Beyond is the next one after WB Montreal's suicide squad game.
What, what the hell is this supposed to be?Yeah, the skins for Arkham Knight are fucking atrocious.
