Batman: Arkham Knight - 15 Skins That Must Be Included
How to make that pricey Season Pass worth it.
Batman: Arkham Knight is coming soon. The fourth and final game in the insanely popular video game series that began with Batman: Arkham Asylum is certainly something for any Batfan to get excited about.
For one, not only will this be the first Arkham game on next generation consoles like the PS4 and the Xbox One, but for the first time in the series, players will get the chance to race around the streets of Gotham in the Batmobile.
Arkham Knight certainly has a lot to live up to. When Rocksteady took a break from the series, WB Montreal stepped in with the prequel game, Arkham Origins. And while Origins had a good story and some interesting new additions, it suffered from a feeling of sameness when compared to its predecessor, Arkham City, and an unfortunate number of bugs.
But one of the best things about these games ever since Arkham City has been the introduction of Batman skins featuring different costumes the Dark Knight has worn throughout his 75-year history. Not only have Rocksteady and WB Games given offerings that would be expected, but some off-the-wall choices have been included as well.
While players would love to see some of the classic costumes again, here are fifteen suggestions for Batsuits that haven’t been seen in the series so far.
15. Bob Kane's Original Batman
This is sort of an off-the-wall choice. Unbeknownst to many, Batman’s timeless look didn’t originally come from Bob Kane, the artist who created him. Kane’s original vision for the character involved giving him fixed batwings, a red jumpsuit, blond hair, and a simple domino mask.
It was then Bill Finger, who deserves just as much credit for the Batman’s creation, who encouraged Kane to add many of the elements to the Batsuit that are now so intricately tied to the character, including the darker costume, the bat-symbol, and the famous cape and cowl.
Many players probably wouldn’t spend a whole lot of time in this Batsuit in the game, but it would be a fun throwback to knowledgable fans to add it in.
