Is it just my own interpretation, or do these three designs seem to be working on the assumption that Nightwing will be the next Batman?
The first two are much less bulky than Bruce and all three mesh the bat symbol with the nightwing symbol.
The second two seemed to focusing a bit more on flashiness and “coolness,” compared to the winner which focuse more on practicality and simplicity.
I think they picked the right entry for the winnings.
All three are pretty cool in their own way. Although the helmet on the black & red version makes him look like Zoltar from G Force (or Battle of the Planets / Gatchaman). On first prize winner’s design I don’t know if a bat-shawl is a good replacement for the cape. The second prize winner resembles the Ultimate Batman outfit that Draxhall Jump did for Wizard magazine a few years back. Still cool.
I really enjoy seeing all of those . any legion history coming up soon ?
They’re all awesome but the first two look the most appropriate. The first reminds me of the animated Teen Titans and the second is just perfect if you can put aside your preconceived notions of that bat-shawl. If it’s made out of some sort of bullet proof material like the cape is on other bat themed costumes, it makes sense that the more acrobatic Dick Grayson would have more freedom with his motions the Bat-shawl than a traditional cape.
