I seeen this image on another Arkham website that said it was fan made, but IGN and various other sites have picked it up so it could be the real thing. These costumes are apparently available depending on where you pre-order the game.

You get the Dark Knight Knight returns skin (second one from the right) in the special edition, I'm still shocked at the amount of content Rocksteady are putting into the game.

I think I prefer the old school one with the blue cape.

What is the first costume one from? I dont think i've ever seen that version before.

The first one is based on the Batman Beyond TV series which was a follow on from the animated series where Bruce Wayne is an old man who trains someone new to be Batman, it's a really good show which is worth checking out.

The rest of the costumes are

Batman Beyond
Dark Knight Returns
Earth One Batman
70s Batman
The animated series Batman

I pre-ordered the collector's edition because I'm a sucker for Kotobukiya's Batman statues, they are my Mona Lisa. I also think that the Dark Knight Returns skin is the sexiest of the lot, it's nailed the chunkiness of Frank Miller's Batman. I also always thought that while detailed well enough, Rocksteady's Batman was pretty ugly, so these skins are a great idea.

On a funny note, the animated version from the superior animated series is completely out of place in this game, yet a Batman from the future in a cartoon actually kinda fits.

I quite like the animated Batman skin, even tho it's out of place.

The one second from the left looks like WWE All Stars Batman, he's huge.

I'm wondering will the alt skins appear in cutscenes within the game, if so TAS Batman is going to look really wierd unless his eyes are animated. Something about the Batman Beyond costume which might be cool in game is the glide mechanic seeing as he doesn't have a cape, hopefully they have added his wings or glide panels.
