The Dark Knight Rises Design a new Cowl for Robin

[StorminNorman]

then this is being talked about in the wrong forum.



im all for the reality thing, but you can only take that so far, and you dont want to take it to the point where your infringe on loyalty to source material....besides, we ARE talking about a story featuring a billionaire dressing up as a bat fighting personal vendetta gainst crime...you gotta let the reality thing slide from time to time. cowls, goggles, bulls#!t...robins domino maks is just as important to his character as the cowl is to batman. dont f**k with what works....you'd be changing it for the sake of change.

It probably is in the wrong forum - but I never argued that.

I think the Goggles are nothing more than an improvement on the Robin Mask, not a huge radical change.

i think the goggles are a little corny.

 

[StorminNorman]

i think the goggles are a little corny.

I think it SOUNDS corny - but I think the pics posted by Keyser and Ronny shows that it can work.

 

[Horror Business]

no they don't.

 

[StorminNorman]

Well you are certainly entitled to your opinion, I just think you are wrong.

 

[Horror Business]

thats cool, i just dont feel there is anything wrong with a domino mask, the goggles seem to bulky.

 

[Logan Howlett]

I don't think he should be Robin at all. I think he should be a guy who's parents where killed, and now he wants revenge. He doesnt have to go and study like Bruce did because hes a trained gymnist and circus performer, so he just hits the streets dealing out his own brand of justice wearing something like a biker Jacket and some jeans, and perhaps a mask he got from the circus. The local new would call him "The Robin" for the way he seems to fly with his gymnastic grace, but later on when he is confronted and eventual befriended by Batman he would take on a name thats sounds much more ominous and threatening, NIGHTWING! I mean come on, what self respecting guy is gona hit the streets with the name of a Bird in yellow spandex?

If someone could make a manip of what he would look like in the Biker jacket and mask and then also as his final transition into NightWing that would be cool! I figure the first look could kinda be like Renegade!

 

[Logan Howlett]

I actualy ment along the lines of Jason Todd as Red Hood. The red mask he wears and the Biker Jacket.

Ok Why The Name



Robin?

 

[patrickbateman]

???

 

[fangrl06]

A Robin movie? Whoa...that's cool. What was his name again(sorry)....Nightwing?

 

[StorminNorman]

You cant have a Robin movie with out Batman and I dont think you can have a good Nightwing without Robin (or some connection to Batman) before it.

Fangrl: Nightwing is Dick Grayson (the first Robin) after he "grew up" and became his own hero.
The Second Robin died, came back (turned out to be a hoax), came back again (for real) and became a vigiliante/criminal named Red Hood.
The Third Robin is well...Robin.

 

[Ronny Shade]

Okay, for one, will somebody explain to me what a "domino mask" is? I'm confused.

no they don't.

You're right, they really don't. A drawing rarely ever proves that something will look goos on screen. I think it would work (Think Jim Lee's version in All-Star and same for his Catwoman design) but I can't be positive.

A head-covering cowl would just look awful, though.

Does Bruce still have the "good soldier" display in the cave?

hmmm...okay...I'll have to pick up some BM comics...

Good Question.

 

[StorminNorman]

The 2 part GN HUSH deals with the 2nd Robin (Jason Todd) "coming back" the first time, as well as involving Nightwing and the 3rd Robin (Tim Drake). Plus its a damn good story and fantastic artwork.

A domino mask is a small mask that covers only right around the eyes and sometimes the nose. Robin, Green Lantern,The Lone Ranger, Zorro, all wear domino masks.

 

[Ronny Shade]

Okay thanks. That makes total sense. Where does the term "domino" come from?

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I'm guessing b/c of the circle holes.....or something.

Zorro's btw, the best.

Btw, the whole Robin thing....pretty simple when you break it down.

There's been 3 Robins. Dick Grayson (now Nightwing), Jason Todd and Tim Drake.

Drake is the current Robin, while the first one (Dick) has grown out of the Boy Wonder title and become his own man as Nightwing.

While Jason Todd was believed to have been dead, he was revived by the current GIANT CROSSOVER OF THE GALAXY........I'm guessing it's the equivilant of MARVEL'S house of M.

See......pretty simple....hmm.....well....er.....yeah......

Yea, not very outsider friendly. You didnt even mention Stephanie Brown or DKR Robin either - but very few people do anyway.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Pffttt....DKR Robin is a psycho, a disgrace to the green and yellow shorts.

And Brown.....well....there's a reason Leslie murdered her.

More or less my thoughts exactly - I hated DKR Robin, and after seeing her in her Catgirl getup made me loose any chance of EVER liking her. It may just be me, but I find the idea of a Senile Bruce Wayne running around with a young girl far more...freaky then a Young Bruce Wayne with a young ward.

"psycho?"

maybe she's a little weird, but...

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I thought you meant Pscyho Robin from DKSA.

Yeah, the Robin-chick.....I'm fine with her.
