New Trophy List Suggests Story-Based DLC for Batman: Arkham City

Lee Bradley

Looks like Batman: Arkham City is going to get some proper, honest to goodness campaign DLC. 

The news comes via Trophies gathered by our sister site PS3T, suggesting that story-based DLC starring Harley Quinn and Robin is on its way.

Indeed, one of the Trophies - called “A Few New Tricks” - indicates that you’ll be playing as Robin for at least a section of the add-on. Robin was a pre-order bonus and downloadable character for the main game.

Aside from the Catwoman missions that came with new copies of Batman: Arkham City, the game’s DLC has mostly arrived in the form of challenge maps and skins. So news of story-based content is welcome indeed.

It should be noted that Warner Bros. has not yet officially announced and detailed the DLC. All we know is that it’s going to be called “Harley Quinn.”

Check out the Trophy list over at PS3T for more details (scroll to the bottom).

  • excellent!
  • Now THIS is what I'm talking about. Actual story mode DLC featuring Robin, and now we get Harley Quinn too?! Rocksteady you....well you ROCK!!! Thank you for listening to your fans! Can't wait for it!
  • @2 thanks , just what we wanted... OT. looking for a reason to return to Arkham, sounds very good
  • This should be good.
  • @2 good work dickhead OT Please make it happen!
  • It's about time!
  • If you sold your copy of Arkham City back to Gamestop, SHAME ON YOU!
  • AW HELL YEAH! I've looked at the trophy list and there is a lot of Robin orientated stuff, using his zip kick and shield bash etc. So maybe you play Robin and you're up against Harley Quinn? Makes sense, considering the ending. The includement of Harley balloons makes me think that hopefully we'll get to interrogate some more of The Riddler's henchmen.
  • Sounds good, Story related DLC is what everybody wanted to hear.
  • A good plan indeed... that buzz cut robin is gonna kick some leather and gothic ass...
  • Now this is what I want........... but I no longer own the game, screw it I'm willing to rebuy for this.
  • Day one buy!!
  • Just when I was out, they pull me back in.
  • This is awesome ! Not some " already on the disc" dlc, I'll buy this and not feel robbed!
  • This week i rented KOA Reconing for a Week cause it's quiet good plus i have SH Downpour on PS3 to play lol. (:
  • I just hope it's not PS3 exclusive. Arkham Asylum. I'm looking at you here!
  • Awesome news, only reason why ive been hanging onto my copy. Looking forward to it if its true!
  • ahhh finally
  • I just finished the first game and it was as good as everyone said. A bit short though. I'll try this one after the dlc is out in case it's like Catwoman and it's part of the story.
  • @17 It won't be exclusive to the PS3. Rocksteady has said in the past after the release of Arkham Asylum that they will put out DLC equal across the consoles. They have learned their lesson. Unfortunately Capcom hasn't.
  • And this is why I've stopped trading things in. Called Gamestop to see the value of this, next day I see "DLC coming soon"...
  • I am the night I am Batman
  • This sounds good but have they fix that bullshit missing save data glitch yet
  • Awesome, my favorite 360 game. Recently beat it, so i love another reason to go back. Can you imagine robin beating up a pregant woman. PS no spoiler warninga, cause its been out since october.
  • Good thing I haven't sold my copy yet. Can't wait
  • man i hope this is true because if it is i will be so happy
  • Looking forward to this!! m/
  • the unreal engine is so beautiful in this game
  • that is awesome, I thought the DLC for this game was done but looks like we are gonna get some proper story driven DLC. Awesome game btw, if you havent played it yet you really should.
  • @21. Oh thank god. I hate console exclusive DLC
  • i bet you get a couple missions then you have to complete all the challenges with HQ. makes sense right?
  • About damn time after nothing but crappy challenge room stuff.
  • @ 24 They don't just need to fix that, they need to patch that freezing menu everytime you start up the game.
  • Prior to owning the game, I was enraged by the whole CHALLENGE MAP stuff. I was terrible at it in the original game. I had no desire to do it and realized I'd never complete the game. I loved PREDATOR maps, but I was shit at the Combat ones. Fast forward to when you do the Mad Hatter nightmare sidequest and I magically learned how to pull off long strings of combos and do stupid well. Went back and did some challenge maps and holy crap. I'd gotten the hang of it. Went back to Arkham Asylum, finished those ones for 100% (just gotta beat it on Hard, but I am saving that to do back to back with City's NG+), came back to City and finished all of Batman's Combat Challenges and decided I had fallen in love with doing them. So much that I got the DLC pack with Robin/Nightwing and the costumes. So I actually loved the Challenge Map DLC stuff. Having said that, I am more/super excited for this. I can't express how cool this is. I hope we get one for Nightwing too. Also, personally, I'd be down with Joker and Batgirl (not Barbara/Oracle, a different one) in the Challenge Maps, but that's just me.
  • I want to care, but the challange rooms kind of killed my love for this game. 4 times is to many. At this point I haven't played in so long I should just replay the main story. See if that sparks renewed interest.
  • This is the best news I have had since I was told about Draw Something
  • someone on their official site found that there will be more stories, if i remember correctly there's one for Hush
  • Shit I gotta go pick a copy back up because id didn't ever think they'd ever put out anything but those stupid challenge maps as DLC. :D excited
  • yay I have a reason to return back to this game!!! :) Finally, I am so sick of all the challenge maps.. I can't wait.
  • Robin sucks, Booooooooooooooooooo
  • Finally, some USEFUL DLC for this game. Let´s hope for a reasonable price, enough longevity and Robin getting updates as well as a section to look out for his moves (just like Batman and Catwoman have). This may be one of the best news I´ve read in months.
  • I'm very excited about finally get some Story DLC for this game. I wonder if they'll also do one focusing on Nightwing as well. Who knows, but I'm very excited about playing some Arkham City down the road.
  • Getting al excited about this!
  • Everyone complaining must have miserable lives. I've never seen so many people that whine so fucking much. As a manager I would slap the shit out of you and immediately fire you. Christ almighty! My advice: find the positives about the things you whine about and you'll be much happier and so will the people around you. On point, this DLC is bullshit. It's gonna be horrible. Jk. I'm glad to see some campaign action. Progressing the story will be rather satisfying. Robin was actually my favorite character in the Challenge Maps. I just hope he gets his voice back! I'm excited to take control of Tim Drake.
  • And i have finished new game plus a few minutes ago. This is some really good news :D
  • This is a minor thing but based off the descriptions of the trophies it is called "Harley Quinn's Revenge", not just "Harley Quinn"
  • I hope this is true!! I have been looking fwd to some dlc for arkham
  • I really hope they make a lot more story based DLC for this game. I'd love a Nightwing story DLC where he goes after Deathstroke
  • Glad they're doing this I was holding on to my copy just in case. Was a fine game but way too short unless you like collectables though
  • @#8 I know, right? I didn't think there would be anymore DLC. I'll just have to borrow or rebuy it. I wish the rental stores didn't go out of business.
  • Any idea when they may be adding these for XB?
  • It's awesome that now there's a reason to play this again and not have to dread those predator maps! Excellent!
  • May 30 is the release date.
