D'oh!

You beat me to it.

And you beat me to it, good thing we have that delete function! :)

A mix between Red Robin and Nightwing. Hm. Not bad actually, but kind of makes me think of Dick first.

Nice try at it considering that none of this is real.

And then my mind went to the gutters.

Curse you, scans_daily.

[batman]

Considering where the apex of his costume points ...

Given all the crotch on display here, how could you not?

[icon_uk]

I REALLY like that Red Robin costume, combining Robin with Nightwing, with just a dash of Batwoman (and/or possibly Phoenix).

A Robin needs to have pretty, pettable,loose hair, not that sweaty looking cowl.

[sleepymax]

I knew YOU would like this. Classic Robin, a new RR costume and a little bondage? This seemed right up S_D's alley

I like the costume a lot too. Kinda undecided on the cape, though. I think it might look nice if it was a little smaller?

[thanekos]

"Anti-Life Lives", huh?

that's troubling any way you slice it.

The Unternet is based on Apokalips tech, and those are Parademons doing the building in the background.

I wonder if this will reference Tim's time being a follower of Anti-Life.

[qalchemist]

I am a fan of any costume that makes me confuse Red Robin for Mid-Nite less often!

[bluefall]

HUGE improvement. Like, completely reverses my entire opinion on the whole Red Robin endeavor in one simple graphic.

[shadowpsykie]

dammit.... why did i have to look at robin's crotch... now i cant NOT look at it...

[star_of_airdrie]

the girls at my house have just spent the last 20 minutes trying to stop passing around a laptop. Only one of us is in our teens.

[kirke_novak]

Who cares about the costume, he's tied up like a good old Robin. Yay.

[icon_uk]

Nice to see traditions being maintained, however briefly! :)

[joasakura]

I am totally down with Timmy keeping this costume. OH YES.

[shadowpsykie]

sooo if this is in part Tim's subconcious... and he is pictureing Dick in those shorts... and his hair is similar to Dick's....

what does that say about him? Should Connor be Jealous? :D

[superfangirl1]

Nah! I bet tim have conner being dick robin every so often. I don't think there nothing to be worried about. ;)

[big_daddy_d]

Not a bad look..not bad at all.

[supergirl]

gdit why can't this be Tim's real costume.

[icon_uk]

We can hope it become so. FabNic has commented that he loves the designs Marcus To came up with, and it's not like the current Red Robin costume has been particularly popular with fans.

[sistermagpie]

I have to say that in this preview, even competing with the cuteness that is Marcus To's Tim and Robin!Dick, the most adorable thing was Baby!Tam Fox.

[icon_uk]

I found Baby!Tam to be slightly... disturbing.

[jelly_ace]

So it's official: the Nightwing costume is a sentai team costume.

[sethgray]

I would actually be down with that. Cass can have yellow.

[irrelevant]

RR is the Nightwing title revisited: I just hope the quality degradation doesn't happen as quickly for Tim as it did for poor Dick. Oh wait, Nicieza. It's already begun.

I do like Timmy's virtual costume, though (oh, the psychological implications). Very Flamebird. And Tam is truly adorable. :P Geeze, why can't they give To a writer as amazing as his art? Used to be, Batgirl and Red Robin were my favorite comics: now Batgirl is the only Bat title I read with unalloyed pleasure, which sucks amazingly. D:

[icon_uk]

Don't see Nicieza as being a problem, his liking for Tim and Dick is well known and he's done a lot to undo the damage done by the first year of Red Robin.

[auggie18]

Not much to say that hasn't already been said. Costume looks really cool. Thumbs up! Let's see Cass in that Black Robin costume!

[liara_shadowsong]

I love Tim's costume here. Very nice. Little bit Nightwing-inspired, but in a good way for sure. *ruffles his pretty hair* Never liked that cowl much, except in scenes where he made a point of taking it off. And I see he is still wearing Kon's colors even though he is now alive and back to being an active superhero... tee hee hee... ;P

[psychopathicus_rex]

So this is basically the DCU version of 'Tron'. Intriguing. *Beast Wars Megatron voice* Yeeees...
Interesting costume. It kinda reminds me of the Chris O'Donnel Robin costume from 'Batman and Robin', only, y'know, not sucking. It'd be nice if it had a little more color to it, but overall, not bad - maybe it'll catch on and feature in the 'real world'.
Oh, and I like the 'To Batman's Base' sign. Virtual Batman, you just don't hold with that whole 'secrecy' business, do you?

[icon_uk]

I thought the RobiNightwing costume from "Batman and Robin" was about the only thing that came close to NOT sucking in that movie... not perfect, but Chris O'Donnell filled it out nicely and could at least move his head whilst wearing it.

[blackruzsa]

.... Mmmmmm Tim....
JUST WHEN I THOUGHT FAB COULDN'T MAKE HIM ANY MORE HOT.

Or anyone for that matter.

I hate it when I'm proven wrong. By that logic, I hate that I love this so much.

[star_of_airdrie]

and it's an odd but cool mask too - even with the side 'blades'

[liara_shadowsong]

It is kind of an odd mask, isn't it? But I agree that it's still pretty cool-looking. Then again, I never liked the cowl much.

No one else is commenting on the delicious Adam Westiness of all this?
