Its a skin from Batman Gotham Knight. It was an animated film set between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight where 6 Japanese animation studios got to do 10-15 min shorts.
The skin is unlocked by signing in with WBID

It might be unlocked in the game or in the season pass. They have said the season pass will have new content for 6 months or something like that. There will be unlock able skins in the game these are just pre-order ones
I think this might be a Rocksteady design
Some preorders have controller skins.
Great for sweaty hands those things.

The hell? It hardly looks like any designs from that anthology. This is a joke.

It's this one:

Eh, beaten.

The suit isn't 100% the same (the torso looks a bit different), but close enough.

Sorry if already answered, but this time will I be able to use the skins from the beginning or do I have to beat the game to use it ?

dat WB studios mantra: great games...terrible art design.

The weird thing is.. most of the Arkham designs are great. Just there skin packs are horrid.
Not all the WB studios, for an example WB Montreal is good, Arkham Origins got good character designs (and best looking Batsuit/Batman of the series) and the environments and general design of thing was really good.
nah, Rocksteady is just bad at art and character designs, in AA and AC everyone looked like bodybuilders made of clay, Batman batsuits were ugly and his face is like Darkseid or something, Harley Quinn awful outfit and same with most of the character in AA and AC. Rocksteady need to hire new guys or just let WB Montreal do the character designs for them.

Shadow of Mordor was fine.

So you are just completely ignoring the new AK designs? AA and AC designs weren't that bad.
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.
Is it too much to hope that all this stuff comes with the season pass?

More pre-order shenanigans. This is getting out of hand. All this pre-order dlc actually make me cautious and not buy games day one.

Maybe it's just me, but it looks like a re-purposed version of the AK suit.

What the fuck is this?
You know shit went off the rails when you need a freaking Excel spreadsheet to keep track of pre-order bonusses.

Besides the console specific stuff I don't think there have been any costumes you couldn't get at some later date for the previous games. Hopefully this is like the Mordor season pass that eventually came with everything.

Nah I saw it as well. But then when you put the two side by side they are different.

Looks far better than the Beyond skin from AC, anyway.

All these cut up chunks of gameplay and bonuses spread between different stores is so annoying to me, it really does put me off buying the game straight away at launch.

This will be in the $100 LE, yes?

Heavily inspired by, but it's still pretty different; there's no trunks, and the material is entirely changed, off the top of my head. Also, while Batfleck is a bulky SOB, he's not that thick.

Batman: Gotham Knight
It was a series of 4-5 short-anime episodes made leading up to the release of The Dark Knight. It has one foot in the film universe, set tentatively between Batman Begins and TDK (but barely, and it holds no canonity). The episodes were also made by different studios, meaning that the visuals vary going from scenario to scenario.
I don't recall a lot of them. 'Working through pain' is one I watched recently, and that was pretty good.
EDIT:
And Kevin Conroy voices Batman throughout. That's a plus.

That explains it, but still do not understand why it has to be two different colors though. Even if the poly placement had to match why does the color? Is some of this stuff shader driven or what?

How much content is actually in this game. Seems like this is the 100th pre order bonus. This is nuts.
Oh well, I would take the cheaper price over some skins, anyway. And I am sure these skins will eventually be available separately if I really wanted them.
