Batman: Arkham City Getting Its Nightwing on in Early November

Dan Webb

Following last week’s leak of the Nightwing DLC, Warner Bros has today finally announced that Batman: Arkham City fans can get a slice of the ol’ Nightwing action on November 1st.

Nightwing will come with his own unique gadgets and special moves – a lot like Robin and Catwoman – and is playable in all challenge maps, as well as two additional challenge maps – Wayne Manor and Main Hall – that come included with the pack. If that’s not enough, players will also net themselves a bonus Animated Nightwing character skin as well.

The Nightwing bundle will be available on the Xbox Live Marketplace and PSN for 560 Microsoft Points and €6.99/£5.49 respectively. Those looking to pick up the Robin Bundle Pack if they don’t get it through pre-order can download that for the same price on November 22nd.

Batman: Arkham City is available on October 18th and October 21st in North America and Europe respectively.

  • Looks sweet, I gotta say i like the robin character better though
  • NICE!!!!!!!
  • fake
  • He does look like a bad ass
  • Looks like justin bever
  • Nice.
  • I think he looks like a total badass, Rocksteady are spot on with every character. Brilliant stuff.
  • I'm glad these guys are discussing their DLC beforehand, other companies like to release random dlc months after a game comes out when it is long forgotten. At least with this we will be occupied with the Batman universe for quite some time
  • I'm sure Arkham City will kick ass. But all those pre-order dlc's and XBL dlc's getting out of hand. o_O
  • Nightwing IS Robin ;)
  • @10 - Can we please get this silly child banned?
  • to quote Nathan Hale, "beautiful." :D
  • nightwing is not robin in this game appearantly. they have them played by 2 different characters. bypassing the whole storyline of why that happend in the first place which i think is a great idea.
  • Emo Robin?
  • @ 12 - For a guy with the username Words of the Few, he rarely seems to shut his mouth and has the gall to accuse ME of flooding up threads. Generally, I say a bit but it's discussing with another user. I rarely see anything he says pertaining to the topic unless he's attempting to verbally bash someone he feels is getting too much attention. OT: These models and additions are just adding way too many toppings on an already too big ice cream cone. Looks like they're sinking every last penny in the budget into this game.
  • Any word on the Catwoman DLC? According to PS3T.org, the Robin DLC (preorder and XBLM) and the Nightwing DLC (XBLM) will have trophies, as well as Catwoman DLC with trophies. http://www.ps3trophies.org/game/batman-arkham-city/trophies/ It's nice to know that the Robin DLC that comes from preordering at Best Buy will have achievements/trophies, but since it's being released on XBLM on 11/22, a month after release, will the achievements not be available to be unlocked until then?
  • @16 Floid , the new word limit is 30 letters. lets see how you manage it. Funny how i mentioned he looks like justin bever . next minute the chuckle brothers turn up to have a go at me.
  • That's a really good price actually, I was expecting it to be at least 800 MS points. Least we only have to wait a week or so for Nightwing xD
  • Hell YEAH!!! I knew he would be on both consoles. Picked up so MSP this week for him and hopefully all those preordered costumes ( I hope they cost 400-560 MSP). Man 1 more week, I cant wait.
  • @ 18 - Dude, as usual - Quit your crying and move on like a big boy. You like to get the last word in. So does the average 12 year old girl.
  • @18 - Did I insult you as soon as I saw your post? No, I didn't. What I've noticed about you is that you try and make it look like the person you're arguing with is the bad guy, although it's always you who starts it.
  • @21. Congratulations you managed to ignore my comment and try and insult me again. nice one fuckface.
  • Should be on the game(Final Product). I hate all of this pre-planed DLC as well.
  • Verdinial , are you following me? the other thread now this? jesus I cant comment anymore without lorrel and hardy trying to poke fun at me. All we need now is squeezed and all of Floids accoutns are here. ot: pre-dlc is ruining games forever
  • @ 23 - It's not insulting if it's the truth. The truth can hurt though. Hmm, no attempt at any type of gay-bashing remark this time? You're slipping. Or maybe maturing? Nahhhhh, we all know that's not happening.
  • Everyone look at this floid character. He hates me. he follows me. he is like the cancer you cannot destory. please lords of the mods bring an ignore button to these dark lands! heald my words ! ot: batman ftw
  • @25 - You do realize you 'poked fun' at me by saying 'Looks as bent as verdinial' right? Or did you forget that you posted that? By the looks of it you just post whatever your incompetent little brain thinks. You're obnoxious.
  • @ 27 - Won't happen. We've been through this. I could care less about you. You call the attention to me. Trust me, you're not that hard to ignore. It's easy to ignore any teenage kid with their parents computer. /done
  • @27 - Just looking at your profile shows you're a troll. If the mods should do anything, it's ban you.
  • @27 Please shut the fuck up, your constant barrage of shit gives me headaches. Thankyou.
  • lol hey JAY. how you doing mate? Picking there side today, ok pal no issue.
  • Just like everyday cockmunch
  • Why are you bullying me?
  • Please see comment @32
  • This looks epic. I'd love clayface and manbat to be in this somewhere!
  • Seriously the mods need to do something about these immature children who do nothing more than clutter the comments section with their back and forth arguments. Go PM each other or something. On Topic: Can't wait to play as Nightwing.
  • Robin: Jason Todd Nightwing: Dick Grayson Mystery solved. Can't wait for this game. So pumped.
  • Nightwing USED to be Robin. There has been about three or four different Robin's.
  • I wish that all these kids would just grow up. I'm sick of seeing petty arguments on every single post.
  • Not 100% with the design, but seeing as it is mostly greyscale, seeing it with more colour could make him look better. Still the gme looks incredible and if I get DLC or none. I know I'll never tire of it!
  • He looks like the product of Daredevil if he married the blonde from the 80's cartoon Bionic Six.
  • @39 Tim Drake is Robin. OT: this game looks amazing GOTY
  • Boo, Jason Todd >>>>>>> Tim Drake. Now I want Red Hood DLC.
  • @3 What? WarnerBros has anmnounced it. Read the article. So they have this for later DLC yet they have clearly been working on it already, i wish they'd just include everything in the game and then start on DLC at a later date :/
  • Nightwing = Raiden?
  • next Batgirl?
  • Wow, sound like this game got tons of stuff going on that'll keep player busy for many months to come. Very tempting to get this game... :)
  • Should have gone with the new red and black costume.
  • @44 They have both been Robin in the past.
  • What about the joker DLC you can get from Tesco in the UK? When will that be out and for how much? [Will all the preorder stuff be getting to marketplace?]
  • @48 man she's in a chair (Orcale duh). Man she's paralzyed. I dont read the comics so I dont know if theres ever been a 2nd batgirl. @52 they should be. The challenge maps for arkham asylum became dlc on the market a few months afterwards but they really dont add anything special.
  • 7 dollars for a playable character?????? that's stupid and ridiculous should be 240 ms points at most
  • @ 53 - Far as I know, Babs (Barbara Gordon) has always been Batgirl.
  • A) That's bs that they're releasing the Robin DLC a month later. I pre-ordered at Best Buy for nothing now, and all other Pre-orders are moot to me, yet had I known this I could have gone with a different Pre-order bonus and just got Robin as DLC....pre-order bonus my ass....bonus for what, a month? B) Glad that there will be universal DLC (unlike the Joker maps for AA) C) What the hell is a Just Bever? Can all you children on the forums just take it somewhere else? We're not here to monitor your childish banter. I don't care who started it, just stop. For reals.
  • theres been 3 batgirls, Babs, Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown
  • Man i hope they actually put out some good DLC's like (The Lost and the Damned)and not just bonus characters and challenge maps. The maps are fun for a little bit but grow boring after awhile. i want STORY DLC!!! lol
  • LOL @#5, While I do not agree, I do agree he looks lame, if that's what you meant;-)
  • YES nightwing in a decent game!
  • I'm sorry but that hair reminds me too much of an EMO kid or a JRPG character
  • @41 And ya notice how it's always the same ones each time? I don't know why the socially retarded believe things will be any different online.
  • Looked at the list for the game. I have NO idea where I'm going to pre-order it.
  • THIS GAME IS GUNNA ROCK!
  • @39 Sorry you are mistaken that is Tim Drake in the Robin outfit.
  • For those wondering: Robin: Dick Grayson (very 1st) Nightwing: Dick Grayson Robin: Jason Todd (2nd one) Red Hood: Jason Todd (after Joker killed him) Robin: Tim Drake (3rd one and 5th one) Robin: Stephanie Brown (4th one, 1st female Robin and Tim Drake's girlfriend) Batgirl: Stephanie Brown (6th one after Batman took away her Robin title) Just to clarify it for everyone. Dick Grayson was the first and was both Robin and Nightwing!
  • Also: Daiman Wayne (Bruce's son) was the 6th Robin and Dick Grayson becomes Batman. Tim Drake also becomes Red Robin (Yum!) Wikipiedia has even more on the characters.
  • Sadly I have to wait till the beginning of November to get my copy of Batman: Arkham City. I still don't get why they pushed the PC version back two weeks.
  • I'm getting a Raiden vibe for some reason...
  • Day one DLC for me. I haven't pre-ordered a game in years but I just had to get the Robin pack for this one. This is my #1 GOTY without a shadow of a doubt. I mean Arkham Asylum is my favorite game to date and this one just goes above and beyond everything, and I do mean everything of that. The world's bigger and looks even cooler, the gliding/flying is awesome, the Riddler being back and better than ever not to mention all the villains announced. And to think they're still not telling everything about the game. I play the challenge maps of Arkham Asylum to this day, I can't imagine how much time I will spend with Arkham City with all the Batman challenge rooms, campaign rooms, Robin, Nightwing, Catwoman and who knows what else. Good god I won't be able to play anything else for half a year! And in this case I don't mind, I don't mind at all....
  • i cant wait for the combat challenges
  • My only sadness is that I don't get any DLC when I buy my copy... Two reasons, didn't pre-order and Walmart gives you Arkham Asylum when you buy AC! I guess $60 for two games is decent! :)
  • I dunno if I'll pay 560 points for Nightwing considering I'll already have 3 characters to tackle the challenge maps with
