6 Batsuits We Want in Arkham City

Arkham City is one of the most hotly anticipated releases of 2011's gaming season.

Aside from the deep storyline, the new gadgets and abilities, and the appearances by even more classic Bat-villains, another reason gamers are looking forward to this sequel is the ability to dress up in various alternate Bat-costumes. The game includes numerous costumes from the comics and animated shows, including Dark Knight Returns, Batman, Batman Beyond and Batman: The Animated Series.

But we want more DLC from Batman's vault to be available, especially from the movies. We've selected six suits that should be added to the game, ranging from Michael Keaton-style sculpted rubber to Christian Bale's proto-Batman armor. We even did custom art to show off our picks, modeling the suits on the Batman character build from the game.

Sound off on your favorites in the Comments below!



Michael Keaton's Batsuit was pretty cool, if you're into the whole sculpted rubber muscles thing, but in some ways the design is just too simple and lacking in frills. So why not skip ahead to the climax of the movie, when Batman crashed his plane and emerged bloody, burned and pissed off? That trickle of blood just shows the denizens of Arkham City that someone is going to be dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight. (Reference!)



Keaton's armor was adjusted for Batman Returns. The sculpted muscles were toned down a bit in lieu of a more armored look. This suit is a better fit for Arkham City's Bats, who himself is fond of the armored plating. Gamers should also be given the option to toggle to the unmasked version, allowing Batman to rip off his cowl for a little fresh air and neck-turning ability.



Where would Arkham City be without a few Bat-nipples?

The Batman movies furthered their descent into madness when this suit debuted late into Batman Forever. Sure, the Sonar Suit's advanced tech may allow for pinpoint batarang accuracy, but with its metallic silver sheen and sculpted muscles, this suit is all about being seen. We know Forever isn't a great movie, but this suit has some close-to-great advantages for our Caped Crusader.

Also? Wrist-mounted batarang launchers are key for just about anything.
