Look at this fine upstanding chap, he’s Robin from the sequel to 2009’s almost video game of the year Batman: Arkham Asylum, a game which you play a Batman who managed to forget many of this gadgets before escorting Joker into an asylum, then had to find unique and interesting ways in which to retrieve them.
Thankfully Rocksteady done more than simply release some concept art of how Robin may appear in Batman: Arkham City, they also posted it on an Internet forum along with a quote from the artist, here is that quote.
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 because the kind of people who play video games would consider traditional Robin to be a bit of a pansy.
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, also it sounds cool which should appeal to gamers, and we couldn’t be bothered to attempt rendering hair in Unreal Engine 3. 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 but a cool hood has been added so he looks a bit like that guy people liked from that game people constantly compared to inFamous despite them being nothing alike.
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 and we made him to appeal to you, video gamer.
I may have added additional words.
