Batman: Arkham Insurgency - 15 Leaked Details You're Not Supposed To Know

12. You Play As Batman And Robin

Some of the best parts of Arkham Knight were the team-up missions between Batman and Nightwing, not only because you got the feeling that two proficient crimefighters were combining their efforts thematically, but because we got to bust out those thoroughly badass combo moves, smashing foes faces' into the ground through a number of tag-team specials.

It seems WB Montreal always knew that was going to be a standout positive, and have made it so Arkham Insurgency includes both Batman and Robin as regular playable characters - a first for the series. Apparently this won't translate into the open world a la Arkham City's inclusion of Catwoman, and how much you'll be able to swap between the two is as-yet unknown. Still, WB Montreal have created an entirely separate skill tree to unlocking all manner of combo moves and animations for the duo, so you should be spending a ton of time together.

Also note, this is the original Dick Grayson Robin, who has been working with Batman for two years at the time of Insurgency, the leak stating his costume is "less armoured, and more green [as the team] took inspiration from the New 52 design of Dick Grayson as Robin."

All that said, does this mean we're skirting over how the pair meet and how their dynamic is established?
