Description So Project Rooftop's deadline is tomorrow and I have just finished my idea for what Dick Grayson, known as the original Robin now Nightwing, would look like as Batman. I wanted to keep some elements from Nightwing's current look and bring it to Batman. Now my problem most of the time with Nightwing is the most people try to make him into Batman lite and thats just not him. Dick's a showboat, a natural leader where Bruce is not. So out with grim and bulky and in is slick and streamlined.

I wanted his suit to have a lot of tech upgrades. His signature sticks are now powered with tazers, as are his gloves giving Dick an advantage on superpowered foes. His cape can be detached and used to ensnare opponents or as a shield to protect him from gunfire. His cryo, flash, smoke, gas, and thermite grenades are located on his utility belt, as are his batarangs and bat-bolas. His gloves hold other items such as his lockpicks, first aid kit, tool kit, tracers, darts, and acetylene torch.

His biggest upgrades are the shoes and his mask. The shoes are based off of the Flash's old villain The Trickster's Airwalker shoes. It allows him to fly short distances so he doesn't need to use the bat grappling hook anymore and can literally run up walls or run from building to building with ease. And his helmet is designed so that the batlike ears produce a kind of sonar so that he can get a heads up display with a 360 degree view of his surroundings. It also is connected to The Batcave computer and Oracle and can scan the police and federal frequencies. It is also able to lower a rebreather which allows Dick to breathe underwater or in vacuum.

So there ya go. Critiques are very welcomed here people. I want to know if I can do anything better for tomorrow. Thanks

I definitely like this, while I was always a little weirded out by the proposition of Grayson taking over the mantle, if he did it with this suit I definitely wouldn't mind it. I also love the idea of the ears creating a sonar vision so to speak. That's brilliant. Great work.

That's such an awesome redesign for him.

Grayson made a great Batman, I just wish he could've kept on being Batman or at least get a better Nightwing costume.

Though why couldn't he be the Batman for Bludhaven, since Bruce set up the different Batmen through out the world?

Sidekicks never get to be their own man unless the mentor is dead. Thats why Wally got to be the Flash for over Twenty years and is now forgotten.

Orana In reply to onecoyote [2012-08-23 01:59:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah and that's a real shame.

But still, there are a bunch of other heroes that can be the Batmen of their own area, so why not Nightwing?

TF-The-Lost-Seasons [2012-03-12 01:43:23 +0000 UTC]

This is really cool, not sure if the mask would work, because readers wouldn't be able to see his eyes directly, but maybe it could be semi-transparent or something whenever he wants, and of course to bad guys this would be terrifying, the no-eyes look gives him an Alien feel.
And I totally agree Dick as Bats should be slick and streamlined, have you ever seen the redesign that Alex Ross proposed for Dick's Batman?

Take a look here: [link]
He made him very Neal Adams-esque but with Nightwing's colors, the nice thing is that in this version the blue that was used in the old Batman costume to represent black with highlights is now actually blue.

And you are welcome for the faves, you have so many great designs. Is there some place to find your complete Allies comic?, I found only a few in your gallery.

Mijder In reply to onecoyote [2011-08-11 21:49:54 +0000 UTC]

It doesn't have to be a bat character, I just really the tech behind it and how you integrate it into the suit. I've been reading some of Steve Ditko's Blue Beetle and it reminds me a lot of how he dealt with technology.

Don't thank me. I've not done anything but state the blatantly obvious. Now that I give it some thought I feel like a moron and a jerk. I'm sorry. However, I do think that you may be removing a key element with the shoes replacing a grappling hook. But that's me.I doubt DC would change the Batman even with the passing of the mantle. It is guite fun, however, to dream.

Also, it's Kilian with one L.

No need to feel like a jerk at all. And yeah I agree that the grappling hook is a standard for Batman for Dick Grayson I wanted something that made him the next step. His own Bat. And sorry I spelled it wrong damn my crappy typing skills!

DC should be after u for some revamps! lol Especially if
therer is gonna be a new Baman or so I hear. I'm a little
behind on the comics, finances being what they are. lol
The most logival choice would be Nightwing thou. I actually
think Tim Drake aka Robin would be better. But he's not
old enough. lol

So what happened to Bats anyway? Is he dead? Or was he
sent back in time? Cuz I thought I saw a pic with Batman
in a cave with ancient symbols and art?

I think thats what happerned. somehow bats is in ancient times...So lame! But, the character has been around for 50+ years... so a writer has got to try anything and everything to keep him fresh.
