Batman: Arkham City skin pack, iOS spin-off now available

You've beat the pulp out of Arkham City's criminal scum. Solved Riddler's riddles. Saved the world. What now, you ask? Do it all again -- in different Batman skins, which are all available now on the Xbox Live Marketplace, Games for Windows Live and the PlayStation Network.

You've beat the pulp out of Arkham City's criminal scum. Solved Riddler's riddles. Saved the world. What now, you ask? Do it all again -- in different Batman skins, which are all available now on the Xbox Live Marketplace, Games for Windows Live and the PlayStation Network.

The $5 (or 400 Microsoft point) pack gives the Caped Crusader seven new costumes to choose from: '70s Batman, Year One Batman, The Dark Knight Returns Batman, Earth One Batman, Batman Beyond Batman, Animated Batman (pictured above) and Sinestro Corps Batman. That's a heck of a lot of Batmen (Batmans? Bat men?).

But I get it. You've spent so much time in Arkham City that new skins just won't satiate that appetite for something new. How'd you like an iOS spin-off game instead? Because that's totally a thing too. Batman: Arkham City Lockdown, developed by Mortal Kombat developer NetherRealm Studios, is also now available on the App Store for play on iPads, iPhones and iPod Touches.

The $6 app turns the Arkham City experience into a one-versus-one brawler that sees Batman duking it out with several of the game's villains, like Joker, Solomon Grundy, Two-Face and the iOS-exclusive Deathstroke. The game will also let you take advantage of Apple's AirPlay system, which lets you stream the action from your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 to your television via Apple TV.

And if that doesn't do it for you, well, I just don't know what else I can do for you, bud. Have you played as Robin and/or Nightwing? You have? Well, I give up.
