In the prequel the Batsuit takes on a more heavily protected armor look, more akin to the Nolan version in "The Dark Knight". The ears are shorter and the cowl looks less like a mask and more like a combat helmet. After the death of the assassin the Electrocutioner, Batman obtains the killer's taser gloves from his body, using them for the rest of the game. Because of the added armor, the suit appears less damaged, only scratched, even as the game progresses. In the DLC content "Cold, Cold Heart", when facing Mister Freeze, Batman adopts a prototype Extreme Environment suit to cope with the cold conditions created by Freeze's equipment. The suit is equipped with Thermal Gloves to melt large quantities of ice, and allows him to throw thermal batarangs that are heated to destroy icicles and other objects. The suit protects Batman from cold and cryovapor, and its honeycomb structure avoids any significant increase in weight despite its new bulk.
