Within every new copy of Batman: Arkham City, there is a code for an online VIP pass, which will grant you access to Catwoman content. However, like all online pass content, if you pick up the game used, there’s an option to purchase the VIP pass for 800 MS Points ($10) on Xbox Live and $9.99 on PSN. But have no fear if you’re trying to save a few bucks and want to pick it up used as “Playing as Catwoman is not required to complete the game,” a Warner Bros. rep told Eurogamer.
Catwoman is just one of the many playable characters on offer in Arkham City. Two different DLC packs will also unlock Robin and Nightwing (who is also Robin for those who don’t follow Batman) for play in the game. Then, of course, there’s the fifty different skins for Batman that can be purchased. So rest assured: if you’re really against the plain Batman, you can purchase the right outfit that fits your needs.
