The Batfamily is an integral part of the Batman mythos. As talented as he is, Batman is just a mortal man. Though it’s likely he can do everything himself (we all know that he can), why not get a little bit of help to relieve some of that pressure? More eyes around Gotham and another pair of hands to take down a large group of thugs.
And thanks to the wonderful folks of Rocksteady, we, the Batfans of the world, will be able to do just that come June 23rd, when Rocksteady’s final entry into the Arkham universe, Batman: Arkham Knight, is released. With the newly introduced Dual-Play mechanic, we will not only be the Batman, but be Nightwing, Robin, and Catwoman.
A couple weeks ago, we noticed that the marketing shifted to focus more so on the Batfamily members when the Nightwing teaser poster was released online. This week, we’ve got both Robin and Catwoman for you.
So far, I like what I see. The costume for Catwoman hasn’t changed very much aside from the lower collar, but the character model has changed a bit and I am enjoying it. In Arkham City, Catwoman’s bosom was so large that they were starting to look almost square and her makeup was just ridiculous. Thankfully, Rocksteady went with a more realistic bust and eliminated the makeup, thereby making our feline fatale far more beautiful. Robin’s costume, however, has changed. In the previous Arkham outing, he wore a short-sleeved short and pair of pants that didn’t quite look like they matched enough to even be a costume. They’ve given him some sleeves and blended his shirt and pants so that it looks like a complete costume. It looks pretty cool. Never got used to the monk look on Robin though.
Batman: Arkham Knight will be out on June 23rd.
