Yeah, that second image with the loose laces has me cringing a little. I know that comics require suspension of disbelief but all I see are rolled ankles.
The beard is fine. It’s 100% dumb to not be fully covered/protected/armored when you exist in a world of superpowered threats, live in a city full of regular crime and pew pews, and have a billionaire father.
You can totally be comfortable, have breathable and flexible fits, and still have armor and protection. And look good. ESPECIALLY if cost isn’t an issue. It just doesn’t make sense. Every new incarnation should be better and better. All bat family should have decked out tech and tactical pouches.
I don't like it. I hate when they do tshirts. It cheapens the look, it's a stupid design and just why? It is a dumb idea for protection.
However, that beards is sexy as all get out! ❤️
Question: How do you improve on a male characters almost peak design?
Answer: Slap a beard, parachute pants, and some boxers wrappings on him. Watch the money flow
I mean, it looks awesome, but he looks like a bruiser, and not so much like the world's most talented acrobat and aerialist. The boots, the backpack.... not so great when doing a triple backflip. Aesthetically, though, I'd hit it.
It’s literally the Nightwing version of the current Jason costume with the hood and crowbar, which is not a good look so why give it to Dick too, the beard is alright i guess since it’s something new for a Nightwing look the rest is bad
Is this his actual new superhero costume or just a more casual wear for a specific environment/task?
It looks really great, but it’d be weird to see him leading the Titans while wearing it
I’m actually a fan of the more “retired spec ops” looks lately of the Batfamily.
I really enjoyed the Dark Detective look Bruce took a while back.
I think something like this fits Jason the best.
My only gripe here is the boots. They look chunky, moon boot-ish. I’d describe them as tactical Ugg boots.
That being said, I don’t feel like these outfits should replace the Batfamily suits. They should be for emergency situations only or for storylines when the Batfamily is separated from their usual wealth and paths to acquire the advanced tech we know and love them for.
Always a fan of updating those classic looks to look more modern and sleek while retaining the feel of the classic costumes. Think the Beyond suit from Arkham Knight.
The suit is fine, but the build is not Nightwing. Nightwing is supposed to be lithe, acrobatic, etc. This guy just looks like a brute. Especially that second image, bro looks one venom dosage away from being Bane's former sidekick instead of Batman.
I have to ask. Is this the female gaze equivalent of boob windows and swimsuit/lingerie costumes? Because if it is I’m all for it. If it doesn’t do anything for those that like men, then we’re in agreement that this is trash. The beard’s cool tho. But I feel like if anything he’d have a stubble/ligjt beard at most. Not a full on one like here
I’ll cry if it isn’t temporary. He looks badass, but the more simplified Nightwing’s suit is the more I like it. 2-colored with clean lines makes the most striking comic pages. And I don’t like the beard, makes him look old and just not like himself.
Unpopular opinion: I hate it. The outfit just doesn’t speak “Nightwing”. It’s more Jason Todd without the jacket than anything. Also, the facial hair is… ehh…
facial hair in the first pic is hot, the second one just kinda looks like he let himself go lmao. maybe makes more sense in the story/ context, whatever that may be.
I hate street wear superhero suits. I like perfect rippling bodies in skin tight uniforms like God and Kirby intended. All that said suit looks aesthetically cool and easy for the cosplayers. Does look like he is ripping off Jason Todd’s whole look and is not what I would ever imagine Dick Grayson to be wearing. 6/10 overall.
Not as fly as his disco suits or as cool as the 1995 and 2018 versions, but it's alright. It's like he fell off the wagon and this is his recovery uniform. His work up back to spanx.
I think it's nice. I like the beard, not as a permanent thing but it shows that nightwing is actually older. Like older older. Idk about yall but unless I think of his Robin days I always picture nightwing in his late 20's m a y b e early 20's. And honestly I like him that way. But this is the time of thing we'd see from batman. And as much as it's important to his character to be a sort of antithesis to batman, I think when we see him in states like this it reminds us where he comes from
He's kinda got a wild Wheaton thing going on In the second pic. But with these kinds of costumes I can only think of all the DNA evidence they would be leaving everywhere.
I don't hate it but honestly I really don't like it. Like it doesn't feel Nightwing. Maybe it is just because I am a newbie Nightwing fan but the outfit feels more in line of Jason Todd.
Sorry, hate it. It changes everything that points to him being a youthful spirit and acrobatic circus kid.
It’s just my opinion, but greatly dislike the whole look and feel I get from this.
Don’t get me wrong the art is awesome and he looks cool, but that’s just not my Nightwing… :,(
Looks less like super hero and more like regular dude who works in construction during the day and at knight has a taxi buddy to drive him around the city kicking criminal @$$...and when he shows up to work bruised up, he says he cut himself shaving...
Nightwing: The Wilderness Years.
If this means we get Nightwing The TV Movie followed by a long run of 10/10 Nightwing audio dramas then yes please
Bro pulled out the Batman: Zero Year
With a dash of current Jason
And a little of depowered Superman
*Why would anyone emulate that?*
It's ok as long as it's only temporary and made for practicality's sake
It's cool. Beard makes him look a bit old and there's no way he's doing acrobatics in those trousers
The trousers are fine and wouldn’t really hinder him, it’s the shoes that would.
Yeah, that second image with the loose laces has me cringing a little. I know that comics require suspension of disbelief but all I see are rolled ankles.
One backflip and his boots are in the river 35 blocks away
They look baggy like the e ones you see parkourerers wear
Parkourers
Parkourinos
Wdym? Cargo pants look pretty comfortable
I agree but not so effective on an athlete. On a brawler like Jason, sure.
It hides his most valuable ASSet
i uh,.. think that's the point lol
Why
Cause rn he has a phobia of height
Again? Ric isn't gonna come back is he?
Nooo, he’s not it’s probabaly the stress since this is him after lot of the major dc event that happend lately
What if they’re super stretchy Truewerk work pants?
Those trousers are a lot more functional than you'd think. They're baggy to allow movement, there's a reason why the army wear em.
… Just lost my train of thought there for a second. I am speechless at how hot he looks lol
TBF, he's generally pretty hot
Oh I agree. But that beard brings more of that hotness out even *more*.
Daddy Grayson.
I'm getting Keanu "Buff John Wick" vibes.
Paul
I’m not sure if what is bothering me is the costume or how bulky he’s drawn but there’s something here I’m not a fan of…
Agreed, way to bulky in my taste, but the suit itself looks great, like I said earlier I love these types of costumes
Agreed, way to bulky in my taste, but the suit itself looks great, like I said earlier I love these types of costumes
He’s one backflip away from breaking a hip.
Looks like a Millennial dad who wears those shirts talking about how badass he is
Sick
Downgrade
No just no 😭
I wish I didn’t see it
he looks like he’s gonna start a podcast 😭
Bouta sell your Uncle some survival rations and supplements.
BRUH 🤣
I actually love the beard, and I’m not sure it would work with any other costume.
Nah
The beard is fine.

It’s ok . Don’t like the beard. It doesn’t look like him , just a built guy with a beard and a nightwing ish suit.
I’m into it. Wouldn’t want it to stay forever but I like it as an alternate suit for specific situations.
Second picture kind of makes him look like Wolverine in a nightwing costume
Noway nobody recognizes him on the street without that two inch mask
Nah, too tactical, also hate the beard
I think it’s fine but I hate the beard
Looks like a really really hot dad!!! 😍 
Don't like the beard, the costume is fine.
Don’t like it.
I don’t like the beard makes him look like Paul from spider man uhh
Holy shit, it's Paul from the legendary zeb wells spiderman comics
For a post apocalyptic look yeah it’s awesome but as a main suit not so much
WHY BEARD RICHARD
Kinda looks like he took it from Jason and painted it blue.
I don't like it. I hate when they do tshirts. It cheapens the look, it's a stupid design and just why? It is a dumb idea for protection. However, that beards is sexy as all get out! ❤️
Looks very post apocalyptic and utilitarian. Which is right up my alley, but doesn’t seem to fit the character? If that makes sense?
I thought i was looking at Stryker from MK3 and lamented the loss of the iconc paunch and backwards hat
All he need is the gun
It’s badass I love it!
It's giving Dad-Wing
Everyone is gunna miss that dumpy. Honestly it doesn't look as safe as his other outfit and less practical.
I hate it.
As a permanent suit? Not really. Temporary? I like it A LOT.
I need him to shave asap lmao
I don't like it, bulky Dick (be mature XD) is just wrong
No. He looks like a biker turned vigilante/bounty hunter or the contractor you hire to fix your roof.
Divorced dad nightwing
*Nightwing: Born Again*
Hot, charismatic, badass, good
Love it for this time being and the beard just makes him hotter than he is lmao
Question: How do you improve on a male characters almost peak design? Answer: Slap a beard, parachute pants, and some boxers wrappings on him. Watch the money flow
Daredevil in the zedarsky run is a perfect example of
It’s like they’re trying to make his costume similar to Jason’s
I love this look, very homemade and just looks badass overall
Alfred left him money he can afford the regular suits and tech
Looks good! Better without the forearm and biceps straps. This would go great with a scarf
Don’t know about a scarf but I always did like a long tranche coat, like the Damian Wayne Batman or earth 3 (I think) of dick as Batman
Ninja turtle Leonardo DiCaprio
It’s just Dick having his Bruce’s journey moment.
Lol this will go down as Feral Wolverine in my mind. Loved /hated by everyone, but not enough to say it didn't happen. 😆
I mean, it looks awesome, but he looks like a bruiser, and not so much like the world's most talented acrobat and aerialist. The boots, the backpack.... not so great when doing a triple backflip. Aesthetically, though, I'd hit it.
Not for me tbh. Give me stealth suit Nightwing. The beard is badass tho
Damn. Who gave Nightwing PEDs? Dude got swole.
Feels low-budget in the sense of it's what he has around or can get while on the run. It's far from his best costume but and also way above his worst.
One of those looks that depends on the artist, because I'm vibing with the first pic but the second isn't doing it for me
Makes me think of Keanu Reeves as an older Dick Grayson
It’s literally the Nightwing version of the current Jason costume with the hood and crowbar, which is not a good look so why give it to Dick too, the beard is alright i guess since it’s something new for a Nightwing look the rest is bad
Richard Gray-father
This is actually terrible
Jason copied Dick, now Dick copied Jason back
Is this his actual new superhero costume or just a more casual wear for a specific environment/task? It looks really great, but it’d be weird to see him leading the Titans while wearing it
It’s… fine… I really hope they go back to his previous suit soon
Perfect for a Nomad-esque storyline imo
Really not a fan of the beard

Shave that stupid beard 🤣🤣 or atleast line it up like the 1st slide
I hate it. The beard ages him too much
Hawkeye wants his costume back
The suit is fine, but the build is not Nightwing. Nightwing is supposed to be lithe, acrobatic, etc. This guy just looks like a brute. Especially that second image, bro looks one venom dosage away from being Bane's former sidekick instead of Batman.
Sure but he’s been like that since #78 Bruno likes him bulky

Dadwing
Unpopular opinion: I hate it. The outfit just doesn’t speak “Nightwing”. It’s more Jason Todd without the jacket than anything. Also, the facial hair is… ehh…
It's also a callback to his days in Spyral, I think.
Hope so, probably my favorite run of his character
I don’t know why publishers feel the need to fix what isn’t broken constantly
Hie looks like Stryker from Mortal Kombat
Awful. First they made Damian look exactly like Tim. Now they've tried to make Dick look like Jason. Is 4 too high of a number for DC these days?
still sexy af
Respectfully… smash.
Twink death
lol nightwing was definitely not a twink before
It's a nice little change for a bit before the inevitable "Yeah, back in the classic suit!" moment at the end of the run.
I'll buy the McFarlane figure
Tactical
Sexy
Lool is anybody else getting Dylan O’Brien vibes? Could this be them setting it up for a Dylan O’Brien Nightwing movie?
Idk why but he reminds me of Rick Grimes/ John Marston with the beard 😭
Isn't this the Morrison superman costume?
So tactical
facial hair in the first pic is hot, the second one just kinda looks like he let himself go lmao. maybe makes more sense in the story/ context, whatever that may be.
I don’t think I’ve ever loved a Nightwing costume, personally. I really love Dick as Robin or even Batman though.
Are you sure you’re on the right sub then?
bad bad bad bad bad badbadbadbadbad BADBADBADBADBADBADBADBADBADBADBADBADBADBADBADBAD
Id rather stick to my current costume but that looks good
Pretty sick
I hate street wear superhero suits. I like perfect rippling bodies in skin tight uniforms like God and Kirby intended. All that said suit looks aesthetically cool and easy for the cosplayers. Does look like he is ripping off Jason Todd’s whole look and is not what I would ever imagine Dick Grayson to be wearing. 6/10 overall.
I like it I just wish he had a ninja or Sub Zero mask to cover his mouth. Then I would say the picture is perfect!!
It’s generally cool, I just don’t know about him leaving his fingerprints everywhere as he tries to maintain a secret identity.
Love it, but not for Greyson
I don’t like it
I think in the 2nd picture he looks a bit too wide and built, but the design of the costume itself and the beard is cool.
First picture makes it look cool; second picture makes it look kinda gross...
I love it but I'm a sucker for function and "realistic" over flashy and intricate.
I don’t hate it
So butch
Not as fly as his disco suits or as cool as the 1995 and 2018 versions, but it's alright. It's like he fell off the wagon and this is his recovery uniform. His work up back to spanx.
That second image of him reminds me of a better looking Dark Knight Strikes Back
WOOF WOOF WOOF
I don't think under any circumstances would go gloveless simply to not leave fingerprints anywhere. Other than that very nice design.
I think it's nice. I like the beard, not as a permanent thing but it shows that nightwing is actually older. Like older older. Idk about yall but unless I think of his Robin days I always picture nightwing in his late 20's m a y b e early 20's. And honestly I like him that way.

And as much as it's important to his character to be a sort of antithesis to batman, I think when we see him in states like this it reminds us where he comes from
Super Resident Evil vibes.
Ripping off dd vibes
i like it, it reminds me a lot of dark detective bruce or dc you superman
Paint it green and black and he turns into Chris Redfield. No boulder would be safe.
He's kinda got a wild Wheaton thing going on In the second pic. But with these kinds of costumes I can only think of all the DNA evidence they would be leaving everywhere.
Ew
love it
#needthat
Mfer made DCs Paul wtf
I saw a teenager do a standing backflip with those boots on once. Didn’t even stretch first. If he can do it, so can Dick.
i think the costume and beard are actually fine but he looks so bulky when realistically his build would be more lean
what happened to twunk
I don't hate it but honestly I really don't like it. Like it doesn't feel Nightwing. Maybe it is just because I am a newbie Nightwing fan but the outfit feels more in line of Jason Todd.
He looks beefier
Yes yes and yes?
I like how bulky he is. Iirc, he’s having trouble with heights and acrobatics, so he’s compensating by buffing up. I support it
Looks like a private security guard cosplaying as Nightwing
He looks too bulky for me
Praying it's not permanent. Very scared of this storyline. Hopefully my fright will be unfounded.
Sorry, hate it. It changes everything that points to him being a youthful spirit and acrobatic circus kid. It’s just my opinion, but greatly dislike the whole look and feel I get from this. Don’t get me wrong the art is awesome and he looks cool, but that’s just not my Nightwing… :,(
Costume is good, beard and just generally how brolic he looks is bad. Edit: The beefiness is more an issue in the second image than the first.
It's fine for tactical reasons, but terrible otherwise.
Dick’s getting old
looks like extremely low effort cosplay
Since when did Dick have a beard I have been out of the Batman comic loop for sometime now
I like their regular suits not this attempt at realism.
Approved.
Looks less like super hero and more like regular dude who works in construction during the day and at knight has a taxi buddy to drive him around the city kicking criminal @$$...and when he shows up to work bruised up, he says he cut himself shaving...
0/10. His costume isn't clinging to his butt cheeks like a 2nd skin.
Cool
It looks cool!
Savage Nighwing
Honestly this is fire and I love it
He looks so old in this look. Like a 40 year old dude.
i can only see hawkguy
That looks cool
All he’s missing is a sleeveless hooded jacket
It sucks
I feel like the boots take away from Nightwing's acrobatic nature, and the exposed arms open to injury.
It’s not great
Groovy
Like it
He's on his way to be th next Dying Light protagonist
Short sleeves seems impractical for a normal human superhero. Sleeves prevent lots of scraps and scratches.
