Our Take
The skins in Arkham games are kind of silly. You can only use them after you beat the main campaign and in the challenge maps. And still, they are absolutely covetable. I went out of my way to make sure I had a Batman Beyond skin for Arkham City, and I regret nothing.
The usefulness might be improved this time out, as Batman and Robin make an appearance in the multiplayer mode. That could explain the Robin skins (and also add value to this season pass). Of course, stalking the shadows as the shiny Brightest Day Batman might not be the best for your health.
