He&#8217;s in DC Universe.  If you spend 10 legendary marks, you can play as him in the arena battles.  Ha ha, who&#8217;s going to voluntarily play as Robin?  That&#8217;s a good one.  DC Universe certainly has a sense of humor.<\/p>\n<p>I cleverly sidestep the humiliating experience of showing up for an arena PvP battle as the Boy Wonder by saving up my legendary marks.  I save up 35 of the silly things.  And I spend them unlocking some sort of bad-ass ninja dude named Nightwing.  He&#8217;s got a black-and-blue theme going, kind of like Quarter to Three.  He hits people with two sticks about the size of rolled up magazines, a la Jason Bourne in Bourne Supremacy.  I install <a href=\"http:\/\/wallpaperstock.net\/dc-universe-online-nightwing_wallpapers_20251_1280x800_1.html\">this wallpaper<\/a> on my computer.  When I spawn into an arena battles, I figure I&#8217;m one of the cool guys instead of one of the losers who blew his first 10 legendary marks to role-play Chris O&#8217;Donnell in tights.  <\/p>\n<p>Or so I thought.  I just found out via a cutscene that Nightwing <em>is<\/em> Robin.  He grows up, ditches Batman for some sort of solo tour under the name Nightwing, and then promptly fails to protect the city when it&#8217;s devastated by a chemical warfare attack.  So not only am I playing Robin, I&#8217;m playing an adult Robin who has done the exact opposite of saving people.  I feel so&#8230;betrayed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
