Recently, aBatman: Arkham Citymod from 2019 has resurfaced through fans' discovery. In it, Daredevil from Netflix’s titular series is playable. The mod’s author, whose usernames are Batflekk and Batfleck, created the Daredevil mod with “Texmod and photoshop” to render the character. The Daredevil mod is essentially a reskin of theRed Robin alternate costumefor Robin inBatman: Arkham City, with the Marvel character’s color palette and other distinctive features built atop it as a foundation.
Daredevil’s maroon-and-black color scheme defines Netflix’s iteration of the character, and he is easily identifiable in the mod with the patterns and lining that Batflekk has detailed him with. Red Robin is then modded to feature red cowl lenses with two black spots on his forehead where Daredevil’s cowl would normally have tiny, protruded horns. Further, Batflekk has also rendered a mod of Daredevil onto Batman’s character model fromBatman: Arkham Cityas well, which uses Batman’s cowl ears as the horns instead.
ButBatman: Arkham City’s Robin is a natural choice for a Daredevil reskin because of his mastery of acrobatics and skill with a retractable bo staff. The mod is demonstrated in gameplay throughBatman: Arkham City’s Rooftop Rumble combat challenge. Indeed, all of Robin’s attacks and animations are the same, but they reflect Daredevil’s own close-quarters combat. Netflix’sDaredevilredefined the character as a white-knuckled vigilante who exhaustively brawls an overwhelming number of thugs in tight corridors.
Batflekk’s mod is authentic in action, particularly when the Man Without Fear is parrying multiple strikes at once or using the environment to his advantage. Batflekk explains that their inspiration for the mod was Netflix’sDaredevilspecifically, and that they had decided to create the mod after they were unable to “find any satisfying mods” themselves. Even as a celebration of theDaredevilseries alone, thisBatman: Arkham Citymod perfectly captures the show’s gritty action withRocksteady Studios' seminal freeflow combat.
TheBatman: Arkhamseries is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
