 Frank and Grant intended to take the new plate armored look of the Bat Family a bit further than the final product. For Damian, Frank thought the old Richard Grayson Earth-2 "Bat-Robin" costume would represent his desire to grow into the cowl perfectly, but it was later decided that both costumes were too radically different from the familiar and ultimately didn't suit the characters.



Just for comparison, here is the inspiration.

I think that suits Damian perfectly actually.

I really like that suit. Damian should let Tim be Robin and switch to that suit, becoming Bat-boy!

*shrug* He could just switch it to a B or leave it as just a plain bat.

I like Dick's costume quite a bit better, but I'm glad they changed Damian's. Robin needs to be red, yellow, and green (besides, I love the current.Robin costume with an unholy passion).

Yeah, otherwise he's useless as a decoy and sponge for criminal bullets. ;)

Exactly. You can say what you want about Damian but his Robin outfit is fantastic.

Yeah--the original idea for DIck's costume looked a lot better, but I am glad they ditched the original Damian idea.

The cant of Dick's eyeholes give him a distinct "Why me?" expression.

Damian's suit looks like the Batman and Robin... Batnipples armor.

I dunno, they seem similar, sans the batnipples.

It's the chest plate thing.

The muscles are not defined, obviously, but the general T shape is similar.

And there's no need to use that kind of tone.

This made me immediately think that Dick's Batman outfit needs nipples added, STAT.

Quitely wanted to use the worst costume ever created by DC? He just lost three points.

Not the actual one, just something based on it. Damien's one there far surpasses the horrendous one Dick wore.

Fits Damian, wouldn't fit the story.

At least we didn't get Dick in a brighter sidekicks costume and Damian in a Bat-suit, Morrison is doing a good enough job of telling THAT story without visual cues.

Should've kept the logo but used the color scheme that they went with. Damian's shoes are my favorite part of his costume, minus the clashing red laces though.

Ditch the yellow bat (maybe do a different variation on it) and the bat-symbol belt buckle, and that's the perfect Bat-suit, IMO.
