15 Best Superhero Redesigns
5. Nightwing - Black And Blue
Nightwing started out as Robin, so technically the character began in the classic red and black costume. Following his graduation to Nightwing, he tried out a few different costumes before settling on the classic we all know and love. It was a little bit like Tom Holland’s Spidey in his homemade costume before Tony Stark came along with the ‘real’ one.
After outgrowing the Robin get-up, Nightwing initially had a disco style outfit, baring his chest for some reason, with a golden fringe along the open lapels. The bright blue shoes and gloves felt a little off too, especially considering Nightwing was supposed to be following Batman’s footsteps and stalking his prey in the shadows.
It was all a bit overdesigned, like every concept thrown together on the drawing board. Sadly though, that’s exactly where it should have stayed. Thankfully the correction to a much more subtle costume worked far better.
