How to unlock skins:
Arkham Knight offers a variety of ways to unlock skins.
The majority of the skins are pre-order bonuses, but there are some still available to access through console exclusives and game completion.
How to change skins:
To find the skins go to the showcase section in the main menu. From here you will find a selection of tabs including skins for the Batmobile and the characters in the game.
The Skins
Batsuit V7.43:
The Batsuit V7.43 skin is the standard suit Batman wears at the start of the game. The skin is fairly basic - limiting the moves you can do, you can’t do the fear takedowns and Batmobile ejections with this one!
Batsuit v8.03:
This skin is unlocked through the story fairly early on. Following in the footsteps of Origin’s armoured style, the V8.03 looks to go for strength over speed. But looks can be deceiving. This Batsuit, through sliding plates, allows Batman to become more agile and fast, while also retaining his usual strength.
The suit also unlocks the fear takedowns and Batmobile ejection.
Classic Batman:
Play as the archetypal Adam West with the unique classic TV Batman skin.
To unlock this skin you have to buy the PS4 version of the game – it’s exclusive to Sony systems until Autumn 2015.
Justice League 3000 Batman:
Adding a hint of red to the Batsuit, the Justice League 3000 skin takes Batman to the 31st century.
This skin, similar to the Classic Batman skin, is unique to the PS4 until Autumn 2015.
First Appearance Batman:
The Bat’s grand debut outfit from Detective Comic #27 in 1939. A lot has changed since the Bat donned this outfit, like the removal of the purple gloves, and the trimming down of the ears.
The skin is available when you purchase the game either from Amazon or if you buy Batman: Arkham Knight - Serious edition.
Anime Batman:
This skin is based on the Gotham Knight series. The series was released in 2000 after the Shadow of the Bat, which ended in 2006.

Batman Beyond:
The Batman Beyond skin was shown in the Batman Beyond TV show, set after Batman: Animated series. Reminiscing the Arkham Knight more than the Batman himself, this skin certainly stands out.

Batman Dark Knight Returns:
The Batman: Dark Knight Return’s skin shows a similar style to the suit used in the upcoming Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Based on the suit Bruce uses in Frank Miller's comic released in 1986, Batman once went to war with Superman wearing this iconic outfit.
