IGN.com has uncovered a clue that may finally confirm Robin (or at least Dick Grayson) appearing in the upcoming Batman game! I am utterly thrilled! They have been playing some teasers or watching trailers or something and uncovered this picture hidden within the streets of Gotham City.

We All Know Why the Show was Cancelled...

Let this be the first of many blog posts to reveal to my readers that I am a HUUUUUGE fan of Robin. Even moreso than Batman, I love the Boy Wonder. I plan to go into great detail why in some future posts. But this news is too good to pass up. Batman: Arkham Asylum was a brilliant game, and the sequel stands to be even better. That Robin may get a cameo or a reference or anything is simply awesome.

I was absolutely livid when Robin wasn’t included in Batman: Arkham Asylum. That game was a Batman fan’s dream come true. It was so intricate, and so detailed and so immersed in the world of Batman. They even had one part of the game where you collect 30+ biographies of characters large and small in the Batman universe, from Commissioner Gordon down to the freakin’ Rat-Catcher and Tweedle Dum. And yet, with 30 some odd bios to collect, there wasn’t one single mention of anything Robin related!!

No Robin, no Dick Grayson, no Tim Drake, no Red Hood, no Spoiler; nothing! They had Barbara Gordon as Batgirl, but no mention of Robin.

I was only left to believe that the creators of the game were the worst kind of Batman fans, those who cannot appreciate Robin. I mean, sure, the first game was fantastic on its own, but to go out of their way to not even mention Robin is annoying to a fan like me. So I hope this little teaser means good things ahead!

Batman and Robin co-op gameplay is probably too much to ask for…
