A few weeks ago, Robin debuted in an ad for Batman: Arkham City. Trouble was, the Boy Wonder was in black and white. Then, Robin concept art was posted, but we all know how much concept art can change in the evolution of a game. Would those colors stand for the final hero? Would he have those exposed thumbs?

It looks like some questions can be answered today. DC Comics has posted another exclusive digital chapter in the Batman: Arkham City series. See, there's a comic book miniseries right now filling in the gap between Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, and every so often one of these exclusive chapters gets posted. Today's is all about Robin, and it looks like the powers that be have settled on a costume color scheme for the kid.

Take a look...





What do you think of the distinct lack of green? The washed out "R" on Tim Drake's chest? Do you think this is exactly what he'll look like in the game? Don't hold your opinions in -- you'll explode. Instead, sound off in the comments below.

I think it's safe to say that with the way Batman and Joker were talking in Arkham Asylum that they have been fighting for a long time and that they have some age to them, so it only makes sense that Robin would be Tim Drake.

Not a huge fan of that red torso piece, it's a bit too reminiscent of Robin's suit in Batman Forever. And why not just use the normal 'R' instead of the 90's looking angular one? I think Damian's current Robin suit is the best of them yet..

They said it was Tim as soon as they announced it. On the Best buy website it also said that included in the deal is an alternate Red Robin suit.

@JayJayCAW Pretty sure it'd have to be Tim as the timeline is roughly around the comics over the last few years. Plus I think if it were Damian it'd be too confusing for the non-comic gamer. I hope it's Tim, he's a kick a$$ Robin

@JayJayCAW From Wikipedia:

"Tim Drake will be a playable character in all of the challenge maps in Batman: Arkham City."

honestly, aside from the nipples, the batman forever robin suit really wasn't that bad.

i like the suit. i just wish they wouldnt of put sleeves on it. i know it stays true to robins look but i just think a 13- 18 year old kid should be fully protected when he's fighting crime.

It appears that someone is excessively fixated on Little Red Riding Hood.

It is Tim Drake Robin for sure in Arkham City, Also for this best buy preorder, you get 2 different maps, one of which is the black mask hide out, as well as Tim Drake in the Red Robin costume as well. Which is pretty sweet! I think this version of robin looks pretty good, I wish he had hair, and his cape had more length to it than a bath towel. I also thinks he looks a little to old, but all in all, I am not disappointed.

I am happy that they have given him a hole new move set as well as new gadgets. Which makes me feel like I will be preordering from best buy.
