Definitely one of the biggest games of the year and one of the best follow-ups in a franchise, ever, Batman: Arkham City is among the nominees for a prestigious Game of the Year award at the Spike Video Game Awards 2011. Proper kudos and respect should be given to Rocksteady Studios for churning out an amazing product with a very intimidating franchise. Rocksteady is continuing to support their game with even more DLC in the form of challenge maps and is working hard to squash some devastating bugs.

Among the already existing DLC, like the availability of former-Robin, Nightwing, Rocksteady and Warner Bros. Interactive have released some new skins for the Batman to utilize during his adventures in Arkham City. Many of the skins are easily recognizable, like the Animated Series version of Batman or fan-favorite Dark Knight Returns. Some skins are better known to readers of the comic series, like the Sinestro skin or Earth-One skin, where people can dissect tiny nuances of each design. Either way, every costume looks pretty great and who didn’t want to play through Arkham City as Animated Series Batman?

Check out the image and trailer below for all the alternate costume goodness. The costume pack is available now for for 400 MS/$4.99 PSN.
