Earlier in the year, Warner Bros. Games released an in-depth look at both Nightwing and Red Hood’s gameplay for Gotham Knights and now, the studio has finally followed up with a trailer featuring Tim Drake’s Robin. Much like Nightwing’s Flying Trapeze and Red Hood’s newfound Soul Energy abilities, Robin is also getting an upgrade in the way he fights, although it comes more like the former’s technological upgrade than the latter’s rediscovery of special talents.
