From the sounds of things, Nightwing will be getting the same amount of content as Catwoman and Robin are outside the core game. We don't know yet where this pre-order DLC will originate from, though we expect to hear more in the near future, what with the game coming out this month and all.
For those who aren't well-versed in the Batman mythos, Nightwing is the guise taken by the original Robin, Dick Grayson, who retired from the position of Boy Wonder when he was, well, no longer a boy. At 18 he turned in his short-shorts and red shirt for a form-fitting blue and black outfit to assert his independence as a crime fighter (and show off his wicked abs).
There have been a few different Nightwings in DC's history, but we're going to bet that Arkham City is going to be pulling Grayson's Nightwing into the game. There's technically a chance that Rocksteady is going with another Nightwing from the comics, but odds are they're sticking with the most well-known version, and not tapping sociopath Tad Ryerstad, who uses the name "Nite-Wing" based on an all-night deli specializing in chicken wings. Stranger things have happened, though...
