Kate Kane's is the best. The black / red is incredibly striking and I like how they used a logo similar to Batman Beyond, which I always thought looked cool. Her red hair & white face also create awesome contrast.

The modern Nightwing costume, which I hope someone else slips into sooner or later.

I know I'm in the minority, but I really like the Red Robin costume. Not the name, but I think the costume is one of Alex Ross's best designs.

Batwoman, specifically the slight redesign in Detective Comics. The poster above was correct when he mentioned the striking contrast between the cheshire cat mouth and the red and black armor.

Yeah, that Nightwing suit is great. The saying "less is more" works greatly here. Simply, sleak, and dark. Word.

Strangely, I've never read a single Cass Cain Batgirl story, but I think her suit looks fantastic:

i really like damien batmans costume because of the trenchcoat.i saw it and instantly thought damien. it would be cool to see gordon raise him a little bit. even if its just little moments at the bat signal.

I used to hate it due to the cowl, but I think thats just because I wasn't used to seeing Tim in a cowl prior to that, and I wasn't a fan of Ramon Bach's first five issues of the series, but thankfully, Marcus To has caused it to grow on me.

i am no tim drake fan. he always seemed like the forgetable robin to me. but i like him as red robin. alex ross did a great design on this. even if he had wanted it to be dick grayson in kingdom come.

Those are the same design, Tim's first Red Robin costume is a rip off of Kingdom Come's :cool:.

Tim's got a new one though more unique to his Red Robin, its not bad.

Not a huge fan of BB but I think Terry's Bat-Uniform was pretty classic. I wouldn't mind seeing Cassandra using a version of it (I think Cass's full-mask Batgirl costume is as iconic for her as Babs was in her day).

To even things out, we should see mainstream Dick Grayson fly a nuclear bomber. :biggrin:

But I can't support the any Red Robin costume so long as it has that accursed ugly cowl. Maybe in the future, when the wearer is wrinkled and bald it makes sense. But Tim looks incredibly un-cool in it. And he's a superhero, looking cool does matter.


I liked Jason's Batman costume.

I also dug the Robin suit he had in Hush under the trench coat.

I'll co-sign the Tim Drake OYL costume. IMO the best Robin costume ever.

http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w182/molly6342/superheros/Robin/TimDrake.jpg

It looks so much better without the green, and while the "exposed legs" on Dick / Jason are iconic, it's kinda stupid in an unrealistic way, this makes much more sense as something a vigilante would actually wear while on duty.

http://i416.photobucket.com/albums/pp245/MDSnowman/Azrael04.jpg

By rights, Azrael's costume shouldn't work nearly as well as it does. I just can't help but like the thing.

Kate Kane's Batwoman, to my mind, probably has the best look out of all the Bat-family. It's sleek, stark, and stunning. The Red Robin costume is growing on me, but there's still something about it that feels off or incomplete somehow.

Does Ragman get to be a part of the Bat-family? He's supposedly operating in Gotham. I've always loved his weird patchwork look.

^^I completely agree

Also have to add Kate Kane Batwoman and Damian Robin. I like all the Robin costumes, though, really. I like all of Tim's, but I don't like the Red Robin outfit. Kinda blech.

BTW, where's the Damian-Batman/Conner-Superman stuff from?? An issue of Superman/Batman? I've never seen a Damian-Bats story not by Grant... also gotta say, I love his Batman costume, but since that's Batman it doesn't really count for this thread.

Haven't read it but I just looked it up and apparently it's Superman/Batman #75.

I don't think anyone can argue with the late Nightwing costume. Simple and perfect and such an improvement over the previous one.

I also have to echo the OYL Robin costume.

I want to like the Red Robin but it just feels like it isn't quite there, you know?

That's why I loved that they used it for Jason's costume in Batman: Under The Red Hood. It was so much more practical.

It's a little bland, IMHO.

I would like fins on the cowl (more bird-like), a scalloped cape with an interior-only golden edge-lining (like Captain Marvel), and a red stipe on the boot. I think it could use more color and style.
