I still love that costume to this day. What more is there to say except that it's a brilliant update to the original pantsless thing that he used to wear.

They got that right at least.
 
I agree. Schumacher could have made it so much worse than it was.
 
Jesus I didn't even notice them until i came here... :( they still don't bother me.
 
Yeah, that costume was great, except for the nipples...nothing really more to say on it...
 
Well I wouldn't use the word "awsome" in case of Robin's costome in B&R.
 
It is Nightwing rip off for Robin in B&R, BF Robin was just fine.

Exactly. BUT this thread does deserve a picture!

How is it a rip-off?! It's a movie about Batman and Robin! How can it rip-off Batman characters? It's supposed to be based on those characters!

it's basically Tim Drake's old costume with long sleeves.

Yep which makes me think had Burton directed Batman 3 it wouldn't be too far off from what we ended up seeing.

Well excuse me!, I didn't know that Robin wore Nightwing costume, BF Robin costume was just fine like I said it was rip off from Nightwing.

This is Robin:

The suit could've been much cooler if they'd done it realistically, which would also be truer to the comics so don't give me any of the 'screw realism' baloney.

The main mistakes were the sculpted muscles and using the same shiny rubber material as Batman. I know they're partners but they're still different costumes in different styles. The torso should have been a squared, angular vest, with kevlar fabric texture all over and generally more ninja/Robin Hood looking looking. The collar and cape looks like something you'd get at a costume hire store.

The only good thing is the colours. Proves a traditional Robin costume could work on screen even in a Nolan style movie.

a better movie style costume. just needs a belt and more flexible appearance in the torso.

I know, I don't know why some people make a big deal out of the nipples. I know they weren't nescessary for the suit but its really not that big of a deal. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
 
I'm sorry. I prefer B&R suit even if it's whatever-the-thing's rip off.
 
I disliked it for a number of reasons.

-I loathe organic 6-pacs on the rubber suit. I definitely prefer the BB and BR industrial type suits much more.
-The nipples are just ridiculous
-Crotch piece is way too big
-The suit is just too built up
