This is where the original sin was! "Humanize Batman"! He doesn’t need that, on the contrary. Anyway, never been a fan of pedobat.

Worth pointing out that for most of original Robin's time in the costume (1940-1984), Batman wasn't depicted as a dark, brooding, grim, gritty character. Sure there was some violence, but not like we associate today with the character. That didn't really happen until the 70's, and that's when we also saw Grayson move away from Batman. Then from '83 to '88 we have Jason Todd. Post-crisis Jason is a darker take on Robin. He killed a dude once as Robin and was like, "Meh." By the time Tim comes along, we see Batman accepting Robin, but also trying to sideline him and keep him out of the action as much as possible. Then we come to Damien and that murderous psycho is great, but it's hard to argue that he's a feel-good, plucky hero who needs to be sheltered from the world.

Tldr: The past 40 years for Batman have been very different from his first 40 years. Robin made sense in the first 40, and in the second half of Batman's life, the relationship has been altered to reflect the new tone.

Hell yes, I will pick this up and Robin.

And as far as Robin talk goes, it is easy to forget how popular the character was in the Golden Age. Kids really latched on to him. With his solo title in Star Spangled, he actually has more appearances than Batman does in that era.

Batman had 11 whole appearances before Robin debuted and people act like he had some epic solo career that Robin ruined

On Instagram, Soosoo said Nightwing would be released on the 30th. I'm assuming they mean up for order next Friday. Can't wait to see the portrait.

I think they might get me on all three. Robin and Nightwing definitely; need to see more of that Daredevil. On Robin, Glad I held off on buying the Toys Era. This one looks better.

 

[Turtle882]

Robin and Nightwing both look great. That portrait is much better than Toys Era version. Excited to Po both of them.

 

[sj2106]

Really excited about that Nightwing. Will probably get Robin to though I wish it didn't have exactly the same portrait. Might look odd displayed together.

I?m in for both and also have the toys era one. Maybe I?ll use one suit for a Bvs display or something.

This sculpt looks more like Brenton Thwaites, Toys Era one seemed rushed.

 

[sj2106]

Definitely glad I waited on this version. Even if you hate the show this is an awesome looking Nightwing figure.

Wish there was a 1/6 version of Damien. I just don't like Robin being this tall.

Yeah, excellent sculpt on these. Much more realistic than Toys Era. The TE version looks more video game/comic book style to me so it actually pairs really well with the Arkham figures.

I only care for Hot Toys, but wow that Nightwing! Sadly, DCEU featured no Robin nor Nightwing and **** Grayson is always underrated and taken for granted. I need a Robin and Nightwing and this might be the only way to get it for a long time. Who knows if BatPat will have one and that would be in a sequel at least 5 years down the road.

 

[AlanJG1]

I just ordered Robin with TNS Figures.

Can't wait to order Nightwing as well.

 

[sj2106]

After some thought I'm gonna pass on this Robin and just get Nightwing. For my display it just makes no sense to have an adult Robin stood next to Nightwing and Batman.

I'll wait on a more youthful Robin, hopefully Tim or Damien. SooSoo Toys will presumably give us a Red Hood figure now he's been confirmed for series 3. Can't wait for that one.

"Nightwing" now available to preorder through ToyWonderland.

The more I see this....I have mixed thoughts on it now. Sculpt looks great, light-up escrima sticks look great, armor looks good - undersuit....terrible! Looks plain and brings it down a few notches for me.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Totally awesome looking figure. And for $152. I’m actually glad they used that type of undersuit since it doesn’t restrict articulation at all.

 

[sj2106]

Do the sticks really light up?

Colours look gorgeous and for the price it's a great looking flgure. Instant pre-order for me.
