Images Revealed of Robin in Batman: Arkham City

Batman:  Arkham City is the follow-up video game to Batman:  Arkham Asylum.  G4TV has an article discussing Robin, who looks slightly different than his comic book counterpart.  The comparison to rapper Eminem is accurate, as far as hairstyle goes.  No mention of whether this musclebound Robin is Tim Drake, but I’d bet that is who is under the hood and cape.

From Arkham City senior concept artist Kan Muftic:

“We wanted to create a Robin that players would identify as a contemporary character and move away from the traditional ‘Boy Wonder’ image that most people know. Our vision of Robin is the one of a troubled young individual that is calm and introverted at times but very dangerous and aggressive if provoked. The shaved head is inspired by cage fighters, because we thought that Robin might be doing that in his spare time to keep him on his toes. Still, we kept all the classic trademarks of Robin’s appearance, such as the red and yellow colors of his outfit, the cape and the mask. We really hope that people will discover our Robin as one of their new favorite characters in the Batman universe. He is back and he means business.”
