Arkham City 'Animated' skin is GameStop exclusive, PC version delayed
The 90s animated series skin for Batman: Arkham City is a GameStop PowerUp Rewards exclusive. This news comes just as Warner Bros announces a month-long delay for the PC version.
Batman: Arkham City has no shortage of fashionable looks for our favorite flying mammal-based superhero. But as we often find in bonuses like these, you'll have to choose your store wisely to get the ones you want. Among the bevy of incoming skins is one based on the highly regarded 90s animated series, but you'll need a GameStop PowerUp membership to parade around Arkham looking like a cartoon.
GameStop (via Joystiq) reveals that the skin is a PowerUp Rewards exclusive. The rewards program gives points for purchases that can be used on goodies like this one. If you've bought from a GameStop in the last year, chances are you've at least been offered a PowerUp card. Collectors can only hope that, eventually, Rocksteady gathers all the disparate skins together for a DLC pack.
Now for the worse news. If you're a PC gamer, you'll have to wait an extra month to punch some Arkham City goons. Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment announced today that the PC version will come sometime in November, following the mid-October release on consoles.

Agreed. After the Gamestop / Deus Ex : Human Revolution fiasco... I'm just never buying from them again. As much as I adored Batman:TAS - no.
This is also the first time I've really wished this 'Retailer Exclusive DLC' trend would stop. Or that developers would be transparent enough to say 'ok - if you want [this] content at launch - you have to buy from Gamestop. However, six months after launch we'll make it available to everyone.'
Groar groar rumble rumble.

Like I said before, delaying the game just means I'll wait till it is on sale on cheap or buy it used on consoles. Playing close to launch is the only way to motivate me to spend $50 or $60. Delaying it means your product has loss considerable value to me. So its their loss.
On the plus side, maybe the stupid skin deals will be figured out by the time I do buy. -
