I always think of that now (thanks to All Star) and it actually bugs me on how lame that was lol. Because let's get real Batman... your cape? not exactly practical when fighting gangs/henchmen. One guy grabs that cape and you're going down lol.

Ah, the debate on capes. Look epic... or be practical.
I guess that's why the one designed for Batman Beyond didn't have one.
But let's face it, he's the godamn batman. Can you think of any grunt who would be brave enough to grab his cape? Besides, his let's him fly/glide.

Haha oh trust me, I love the cape. It's totally not practical in battle - but I'd be very upset if they ever removed it. Probably why I didn't see Beyond as being "BATMAN" because he just didn't have that imagery going for him. The dramatic flowing cape.
All I'm saying is the argument for the cape and the hood go hand in hand. (although there is no function for the hood because it's not going to allow you to glide) but still.

thanks. I really thought it would be cool to try and match the actual animals they were named after. I'm sure it could be taken ever further (but I still wanted to keep a certain level of classic)
And I personally think the Robin is more creative than the Batman design. But still love the idea of using different shades of brown.

Also, I love that you gave Robin a cowl. I don't think domino mask are very effective at guarding your identity.
Carol Ferris: Hal?
Hal Jordan: Yeah.
Carol Ferris: Hal?! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Hal!
Hal Jordan: How did you know it was me?
Carol Ferris: What do you mean? I've known you my whole life! I've seen you naked! You don't think I would recognize you cause I can only see your cheek bones. What is this? Why...why is your skin green? Why are you glowing? What the hell is with that mask?
-Not a great movie, but it brings up a very good point about domino masks.

Possibly the only thing with Pikachu I like.
Will you ever do an overhaul of other Batvillains/heroes? I'd be curious as heck to see Killer Croc done in your style.

Ooooou, Croc eh? Hmmm I'm not against the idea of other Bat characters. I'm just not sure when I will be able to get around to it. But I'm sure it will happen when I've got some free time on my hands.

lol Here's an interesting fact. Robin got his name from "Roodin Hood" not the bird. I found that weird because most of the villains make bird puns at him. x-]

darknight7 In reply to MummyChunks [2012-01-13 18:15:47 +0000 UTC]
Yup. I've heard that too, which is why I like when Robin wears a cloak/hood. (but there are also stories I've heard/read where Dick is referred to as "his mother's little robin" due to his flying acrobats in the circus.
So I like the idea of mixing both Robin Hood and the bird. (as you can tell)

DC called. They need you to do another New 52 asap. Your designs are too good not to be used.

I just like the idea of a brown Batman. Dark dark brownish/gray. Same with Robin. His cape is brown and his body is a grayish brown. I think it looks a lot more natural and animal-like
