The holidays have put Rocksteady Studios in a festive mood, so much so that it released a surprise update to 2015’s Batman: Arkham Knight. As of today, players can snag two of the game’s skins, Batman of Zur En Arrh and Anime Batman, hassle free.
The only way to obtain both skins back in the day was to set up an account with WBPlay, Warner Bros.’ publishing/social platform you probably forgot existed until now. Now all you have to do is reinstall/relocate your copy of Arkham Knight, fire it up, and bam, new Bat skins.
The brightly colored Zur En Arrh costume is originally based on a goofy alien version of Batman from the planet of the same name. In the 2000’s, the concept shifted to something more serious; an alternate personality for Bruce Wayne who behaved far more ruthlessly and was a tad unhinged. Frankly, Zur En Arrh is a weird idea regardless of the context.
Anime Batman hails from 2008’s Batman: Gotham Knight, a series of Japanese animated films loosely based in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight continuity. He rocks a cool collar not unlike Robert Pattinson’s Batman. Actually, can we get a skin for that movie too, Rocksteady? No? Okay then.
When it’s not giving away free Batman goodies, Rocksteady is cranking away on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, its next game that debuted during DC’s Fandom event back in August. In terms of new Batman-specific media, Warner Bros. Montreal has its four-player Gotham Knights game, which stars the Bat family sans Bruce, in the works as well.
