About this mod
The Rocksteady DLC skins Batman Inc., Robin One Year Later and Robin Tim Drake are missing parts of their in-game shadow.
This is caused by incomplete or missing lower mesh levels of detail (LOD).
The files provided fix those bugs/issues.

These are some of my frist humble efforts of using the great UPK Explorer for modding Arkham Knight. Nothing big, but people with an eye for details might care or be interested anyway.

What was actually changed?
For Batman Inc. basically the only thing that really cast a shadow, was the cape. All the other body parts were missing, because the lower LODs necessary for rendering of the shadows were missing in the playable-UPK-File. Luckily for the Inc. skin the showcase-file included all necessary detail levels. So this was taken, slightly changed and renamed. Thanks a lot to Wastelander121 for the hints on how to fix this! : )
Robin One Year Later was missing boots and gauntlets in LOD2, which is used for rendering shadows and reflections. So I took the FBXs from LOD1 and copied them to LOD2.
Same with Robin Tim Drake, here shoulders and gauntlets were missing.
(Btw. Robin's cape for me does not consistently reflect, even the standard skin. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. So I consider this a feature rather than a bug...)
