The Robin In Arkham City Is... Tim Drake?

As previously mentioned, Robin is set to play a role in Batman: Arkham City.  For now, however, that role is limited to two challenge maps.  There is still no indication whether he is in the actual game or not; of course, Rocksteady probably wouldn't go to all the trouble of rendering a 3D model of Robin, complete with motion animations, just for two challenge maps.  So, odds are pretty good that he's actually in the game.  Some of you may think that's the obvious case, and I sincerely hope so.

As before, Robin is only available to those who pre-order the game (PS3, 360, or PC) from Best Buy.  Interestingly enough, the deal is called the "Tim Drake Robin Pack", which completely confuses me, as it obviously suggests that the Robin we are getting is Tim Drake.  Did Arkham Asylum occur in the time period after Dick Grayson and Jason Todd?  Does this mean we could be seeing Nightwing or the Red Hood in Arkham City?  Only Rocksteady knows, and they aren't telling.
