“Tim was the right Robin to be the newest Robin for where we’re at, and as well for us, it allowed us to have a teenage Robin who was nevertheless still a physically formidable and physically credible fighter. “So Tim Drake was our Robin choice right from the start and for reasons that I’m not going to get it to yet, because it does tie into the broader arc of the story, and we will talk about that a little later,” Redding said. Speaking to Comic, Gotham Knights Creative Director Patrick Redding revealed why it had to be Tim behind the red and green costume: The costume and design was an amalgamation of Tim and Damian, but ultimately it was Drake who came out on top. As several crime fighters took on the name including Bruce Wayne’s own biological son Damian, it was finally confirmed post-DC FanDome that Tim Drake was the Robin featured in the game. One of the first questions that popped up in fans minds was the identity of Robin in the game. With Bruce Wayne and his alter ego apparently dead, players will now have the chance to play as his proteges in a new story that has been confirmed to be unrelated to Batman Arkham universe.

As one of the first panels held during last weekend’s highly successful DC FanDome virtual event, “Gotham Knights” was WB Games Montreal’s reveal as their long awaited follow-up to their critically acclaimed “Batman: Arkham Origins” - only this time you play as one of The Dark Knight’s sidekicks in Nightwing, Red Hood, Robin, and Batgirl.
