Unpopular opinion: Even for being a product of its time, the original Robin costume was incredibly silly (and just...not very good). Now, it's not just silly, but kind of a dangerous thing for Batman to have a powerless child wear while fighting crime in Gotham, of all places (as if letting him be Robin in the first place wasn't already irresponsible). It was essentially just a t-shirt, vest, and speedos. I'm glad they updated the look. The boy needed to be covered up lol
I'm with Blue22; the classic Robin suit is, of course, a classic. But for the love of god, put some pants on that kid!
I don't need the original suit changed so much it becomes a generic, modern Robin suit that any Gotham sidekick could wear, but it's not going to hurt anyone if we added pants. I mean, Gotham is in the Northeast. You really want a kid running around on rooftops, 2 o'clock in the morning, in February? Poor kid would have frostbite in the worst places!

Issue was just predictable and boring. Par for the course with Jurgans. In the end the newly revealed big bads of the direction do nothing, and Ric lives on to waste another 6 months or so. Despite the new memories and reinstated history. Making them pointless and completely useless. So good thing they put that in there to reflect Doomsday Clock. But Bea and Ric are definitely Not Over. As if anyone gives a crap about that...

I think the fact he didn't dump Bea upon remembering he proposed to Babs is a death flag. Bea will be disposed of when he does go back to normal, and I won't be surprised if Joker kills her. Can see the four fake Nightwings also falling to the clown prince of crime.

I don't think it's news that makes us that much happy. I mean; it would have been awesome, if NW were selling like a year or year and half ago. That would mean we got better, and not just less worse than NW. NW selling 20k... it's so weird. 21k for us is good with variants. It's our normal, or maybe a little bit better than normal. We were selling 18k in October, I think.
That's why I think initially he was meant to kill them but they change the plan once Tynion's onboard for Batman and make the summer event.
Yeah I mean they already put pants on kid Robin costume, just wear that until Nightwing.
It's Rocafort.
No, the only New 52 Robin to have a toy is Damian. The rest are on their New 52 present identity
By the way, I saw some spoiler pages, and honestly, Travis Moore is the only one who can make dirt mask Ric and his standard torn black t-shirt and jeans to look like a deliberate makeup and fashion choice.
Travis Moore could make anything look pretty or stylish tbh. I would love much, much, much more of his work here or anywhere. His Dick is such eyecatcher that is my default design for him now. Perfect balance of handsome yet heroic and tough.
Edit: if it isn't because a toy, then, it could be because they don't think people dislike it, I guess.

Yeah I don't mind the N52 Robin suit. I just wish they gave it an actual belt with pouches. Something similar to DCU Titans' Dick Robin suit.
