Play as Red Hood with Batman: Arkham Knight's Gamestop pre-order bonus


Today's Batman day, and that means Batman news.

Now Gamestop has announced that players who pre-order Batman: Arkham Knight through them will be able to access an exclusive DLC pack that will let you play as Red Hood.

Other than the fact that this is a "story pack" and that you'll get to play as Red Hood, details about the pack are scarce.

Gamestop previously announced that gamers who pre-order through them will also gain access to the Harley Quinn Story Pack, which includes four challenge maps that let you play as Harley. However, the Harley Quinn Pack is also available through through other retailers. The Red Hood pack is exclusive to Gamestop.

Between this and the previously announced exclusive pre-order content for Alien: Isolation, Gamestop pre-orders seem to be getting a lot of exclusive content these days. Personally, I'm not a big fan of this trend. Hopefully such exclusive DLC will become available in re-releases (Game of the Year Editions and such) in the years after these games first launch.
