Arkham City: Nightwing DLC Details and Gameplay
Posted By Micah C. about 6 months, 2 weeks ago
Don't worry, I won't make any references to Marv Wolfman's last run on Nightwing.
Once he was an acrobat, then a sidekick, and then he became his own man. Now, you can play as him in Batman: Arkham City. Former leader of the Teen Titans and the original Robin, Dick Grayson is a character that’s been a part of the Batman mythos for years. Aside from getting beaten up by Deathstroke on a fairly regular basis, Dick watches over the city of Bludhaven as his own little Gotham, occasionally helping out Batman. He even took the mantle up at one point, with Batman’s son Damian becoming the new Robin. With all of that said, how does Nightwing play withing Arkham City? Well, I could go on and on about it, but I decided that showing you Blistered Ones would be a better idea. So, check out the gameplay video below.
So, can we have Red Hood DLC? Pretty please?

With expectations now sky high, Arkham City doesn't have the luxury of flying under the radar. This only makes what Rocksteady has created that much more impressive.

Batman: Arkham City Review
Arkham Asylum was a surprise hit that left gamers delighted and wanting more. With expectations now sky high, Arkham City doesn’t have that luxury. This only makes what Rocksteady has created that much more impressive. With a sizable open world, all of Batman’s gadgets at your disposable, and a phenomenal story, this may truly be the greatest comic book super hero game of all time.
| PROS | Amazing visuals, engrossing story, dynamic combat, packed with content, and simply fun to play. |
| CONS | Minor control issues, small instances of texture pop-in, and corrupted data issues. |
| WTF?! | Where the hell did Penguin find a shark and how did he get it inside his base? |
From the moment the game begins, it reels you in. There’s a ton of intrigue surrounding this new super prison and Hugo Strange’s involvement in it all. Without giving away the bigger plot points, the overarching story revolves around Batman getting to the bottom of Hugo Strange’s plan and finding a cure for the Titan venom. As you explore the massive landscape, you’ll cross paths with just about every one of Batman’s noteworthy villains. While some play a lesser role than others, they all make their presence felt in this turf war waging within the walls of Arkham City.
While it would have been nice to see these characters fleshed out a bit more, it’s hard to complain. The story is excellent and could easily rival the Chris Nolan line of films. You’ll feel connected to the characters you encounter as the plot twists and turns. It didn’t feel like I was just playing a Batman video game, I felt like I was Batman plotting my next move against the scum of Arkham. That’s definitely a sign of a well-told plot.
getting bludgeoned by a one-armed giant with a steel pipe. oh yeah, real ‘fun.’
The biggest change from Arkham Asylum that best serves this game is its open world. You really feel like Batman as you sit atop buildings listening into thugs, glide across the city, and kick crime in the ass. Having more gadgets than ever really makes you feel like the world’s greatest detective. Whether it’s remote batarangs, ice bombs, or your electronic disruptor, you’re given a wide array of tools to tackle situations any way you want to.
With all these new gadgets come changes to the combat. You’ll be able to use your gadgets in quick attacks maneuvers like never before. On top of quick batarangs, you can now deploy smoke bombs, lay explosive gel on the ground, and many other moves to help you deal with your enemies. All these tools come in handy as the enemy types are more varied and the game will present them all in challenging configurations.
For me, the combat is definitely the highlight of the game. The free-flowing nature is so much fun, while still remaining challenging. Simply mashing buttons won’t get it done though. You’ll need to employ a certain degree of strategy if you want to walk away alive from some of the tougher fights. This combat system is unlike anything I’ve encountered and easily one of the most rewarding. I found myself taking on groups of random thugs just because I wanted to get into another fight. It’s that fun.
9/10

Once he was an acrobat, then a sidekick, and then he became his own man. Now, you can play as him in Batman: Arkham City.- December 31, 2011 at 09:13pm
Another flaw for me was that Hugo Strange was totally underused…
- November 02, 2011 at 02:32pm
Funny thing is that they confirmed a third game already… I don’t know how they could surpass this one but hey, they surpassed Arkham Asylum with this game so there could be a chance…
- October 26, 2011 at 09:31pm
I have to note that Two-face was really underused. The Penguin is more of a threat than him, the freaking Penguin.
- October 27, 2011 at 02:27am
Yeah, but this Penguin was awesome. I mean, he enslaved Solomon Grundy and Mr. Freeze. Not to mention, there’s something incredibly shocking about him:
He’s voiced by Nolan North. Let that sink in a bit.
- October 25, 2011 at 08:47am
I ,personally was expecting more from Two Face, i felt he was really underused…i was hyped to see him. And maybe a little cameo from Scarecrow xD But besides that it’s a solid solid game which i’ll be playin for a loong time xD
PS : never really wondered about that shark until u mentioned it ! it rly is weird
) - October 25, 2011 at 09:10am
I agree.
They got such an amazing voice actor for the part (Troy Baker, better known as Vincent from Catherine) and then he gets only two parts where he actually appears.And as for Scarecrow….well…let’s just say, you have to look in the right spots to get the hints…
- October 25, 2011 at 09:37am
That would have been an excellent place to put some Bat Shark Repellant. Then maybe a Bat Alphabet Soup Container.
- October 25, 2011 at 05:32am
Bought it, but ah…I’m actually kinda playing Dark Souls at the moment. Hopefully I can get around to this by the end of the year, but I also have to play Saints Row and Skyrim, and maybe maybe Skylanders.
I suck, hey?
- October 25, 2011 at 06:12am
Haha, I know how that is. When this was released I was playing Demon’s Souls, which I just finished. While I was playing Demon’s Souls though, I’d purchased Disgaea 4, which I’m currently playing. November will be basically a time of no gaming for me due to the work load it brings, so hopefully I’ll be playing this in December. I want to play it now though, haha.

Batman: Arkham City Long Haul!
What is longer than this cosplay-through? The ICE AGE! Why not CHILL with these COOL bats with some Arkham City… FREEZE PUN!
Check Out Arkham City's Boy Wonder
Dick Grayson’s out and Tim Drake’s in. Looks like Robin won’t be laying any eggs today.
SO MUCH DLC! Do you guys remember a time when devs actually put their effort into the friggin game instead of holding stuff back and throwing it out on DLC within the first few weeks of release?
Blea.. well, at least the game wasn’t broken and requiring a day one patch. THAT really pisses me off. When a game is released buggy and requiring patches but devs just churn out DLC instead
Eh, I think I’ll pass on this one. From the description you gave he sounds too similar to Batman in terms of gameplay to me. While it is nice to hear that his physical attacks differ from Batman’s in a bit more than just the animation (a bit of a gripe I had with Robin), if he really only has one unique gadget and otherwise just shares most of Batman’s, I can’t really see him being worth the money to me. I mean, I already came to the conclusion that I wouldn’t have paid for Robin (got him for free as a pre-order bonus), and Nightwing sounds like he varies from Batman even less than Robin does, or at most no more than Robin does (depending on how you weigh the effect of the multi-hit regular attacks vs the lower number of unique gadgets).
Oh well, that’s okay, I’ve got plenty yet to do with Batman, Catwoman, and Robin with those challenge maps anyway. I do wish they’d release some DLC that included new story content though, or at least let you play as the new character in the past-game story mode the way you can with Catwoman. Them just sticking to challenge map content is a bit disappointing.
Nightwing, Robin, Catwoman, Batman DLC…will there be anymore?
Challenge maps, yawn. I want to see more stories, more character interactions between heroes and villains. If I wanted to play a brawler all day I’d go play Yakuza.
Hmm…By the looks of it…his voice actor knows his lines….you could say he
*Puts on glasses*
GOT IT MEMORISED
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHH
Might get it
Just some constructive criticism: this reviewer doesn’t sound like he’s entirely comfortable with his voice over in the video. He keeps searching for words or tripping over himself, doesn’t really sound very confident and it comes off as kind of awkward. Some snappy editing could help with that, but if he’s more comfortable with written reviews there doesn’t really seem to be a compelling reason for him to make the leap to videos just yet.
Actually I really like his review style. I think he’s not searching for words, he’s just speaking in his natural pace. Makes it way more comfortable to watch then some reviews over at IGN or something where a wooden monologue of facts is showered on your mind.
This is something I’d get if I ask a friend to tell me about the DLC he just bought. I like it.
Actually, it is my natural pace. I have a tendency to talk like Shatner.
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!
Sorry, couldn’t resist
Keep going, Micah, I like your review style.
Can we please decide on what the followers of this site are called? Herbis says Blisties, you’re saying Blistered Ones, I’m saying Generally Cool Guys…
At this point I don’t care which one comes through. I just want some consistency.
Oh yeah and Batman yay!
