    Bats belt looks a little tacked on - it looks less certain than the rest of him...a little Batman Beyond with the ears.
    I like that Robin is sports-bra'd (or at least less Power Girl-centric than most female comic characters.) It just makes sense...if she were a gymnast, she should have that body type. Her right hip is a little weak on the outline.
    and what happened to her legs?

    Hey, PatboyX, thanks.

    Yeah, Robin´s supposed to be very athletic and young (how old was Stephanie Brown when she bought it anyway, 16?) , so I figured she´d have a slim body like an olympic gymnast´s instead of the one of a Hooters waitress :)

    I'd say throw some yellow on Robin, maybe give her a cape. And make the logo (is that the black on her chest?) not so nightwing-ish

    LOL

    Thanks, Keith, funny you should say that since I actually went out of my way to remove every piece of yellow from their uniforms.


    I am ashamed to confess that the Robin symbol on her chest was straight up stolen from the Schumaker movies....

    I think extra yellow would detract from the feel. Also, she's blonde and her eyes have a slight tinge.

    I don't find it boring.

    Yeah, they're kinda dull. Even though this wouldn't fix that problem, I think some nice dynamic color'd lighting might jazz up the picture itself a bit...like a blue on one side, a red on the other, or something.

    I wanna see the reverse angle of that pic...specifically, to see how Robin's costume accommodates the braid of hair. :)

    Yeah, it seems like any opening would just be a handle to snap her neck.

    Then it is the Nightwing logo. Not the one on Nightwing's suit, but the old logo he used to have.

    I think that maybe changing the black symbol into a yellow bird (not much unlike the DCAU Nightwing) would work better.

    I love superhero redesigns. This is a good one. Your redesign seems to be leaning sort of towards a kind of realism, so the pony tail is a weakpoint, but I really like everything else.
