A day after Epic Games announced that Gears of War 3 would include some decent 3D options, WB Games has announced that Batman: Arkham City would support it as well -- in more ways than one.
Like Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition, Arkham City will include pairs of regular 3D glasses, so players can see the game in a traditional 3D sense. But if somehow you have a new-fangled TV with shutter glasses for good measure, you can also activate stereoscopic 3D and get a much more beautiful experience out of it. So there you go -- the best of both worlds.

The world knew that Robin would be a playable character via Challenge maps in Batman: Arkham City, but now we also know that the Boy Wonder will have clothing options. Come October, you'll be able to play as Red Robin, hooded Robin or Robin from Batman: The Animated Series. The photo below is cobbled together from ArkhamCity.co.uk posters, and the animated series Robin has been confirmed on Batman: Arkham City's official site.
!!!SPOILERS BELOW!!!
In other Arkham City news, the Official Xbox Magazine asked the developers of Batman: Arkham City if there'd be any Bruce Wayne missions in the game, and Rocksteady's Dax Ginn said there wouldn't.
"Our aim has always been to make an action game, not a business simulator, and when you start thinking about what you would do while playing as Bruce Wayne, it doesn't seem terribly exciting in comparison," Ginn told the magazine.
What do you think? Do you like the Robin suits? Do you wish you could be Bruce Wayne? Let us know in the comments below.

Gadgets
Remote Electrical Charge: A taser beam, the Remote Electrical Charge gun can be used to power machinery, create electrical fields to solve puzzles, and electrocute villains (non-lethally of course, because, well. Batman.)
Freeze Blast: Taking a cue from Mr. Freeze, the Freeze Blast is a projectile that creates ice platforms in water and freezes enemies in their places. Batman can then "break" the frozen villains, which doesn't seem to involve any shattering of internal organs or severed limbs, so it's really more like "pushing villains over while they're really cold." In the video, one Freeze Blast hit up to three villains at the same time, making it useful for rowdy crowds.
Villain
Deadshot: As part of a side-mission, Batman will track Deadshot as he systematically assassinates high-profile people within Arkham City, and then goes after Batman himself. Detective mode will be essential to finding and taking down Deadshot.
