Arkham Asylum 2 may feature the Boy Wonder

Posted 09 March 2010   Console,Microsoft,News,Sony

There’s a rumor doing the rounds today, apparently Robin could make an appearance in Arkham Asylum 2.

Some interwebers are finding this a little worrying…..I find that a little worrying. Robin can be done well, In fact there are plenty of Batman storylines where the Boy Wonder doesn’t suck. So stop the negativity folks.

Lets not forget that the original Robin was killed by none other then the Joker and famously kidnapped by Harvey Dent (another rumored inclusion), then there’s Frank Millers female Robin who in my opinion rocked, even if she did roller skate in the sequel.

With so many great ways to implement the Boy (or girl) Wonder into the games story I really can’t see how people would be anything but excited. Imagine a Batman game centered around themes of guilt and revenge over the fate of his little companion. Think splinter cell conviction without the plastic surgery or intentional child endangerment .

So, lets not jump to negative conclusions people, Rocksteady know what there doing and even if they don’t there is plenty of time to moan when we know exactly how he or she is being implemented.

*Another small tidbit that I forgot to mention last week is that Rocksteady just got purchased by Warner Bros. Lets hope they give Rocksteady the same freedom Eidos did.

Quick, That way!!

  1. I’tll ruin the “Dark Knight” feel of the game. Also I believe Robin is homosexual not that I’m a homophobe in any way but lets face it Batman doesnt bend over.

  2. IMDB have an actor listed for him so it’s looking official although IMDB has been wrong before. It’s a man by the by.
