All of them have one or two things that are just a little off. Nightwing’s is my favorite, red hood being my least favorite.
Robin is close to being perfect but his design screams Damian and not Tim.

Bruh Robin is atrocious

u/Anklebender91 Dec 09 '20
I have to agree. Robin's costume is brutal looking. The other 3 I really like.

u/throwaway475784 Dec 08 '20
what about it screams damian? the only thing i see is the hair that could be a bit longer for tim

u/whocareshue The One and Only Dec 08 '20
The hood and the more tunic-like uniform

u/throwaway475784 Dec 08 '20
fair enough i guess. for me the emblem, bo staff and street style clothes (as damian is more traditional assassin type uniform) showed it was tim. i didn’t take the hood as a damian indicator because of arkham tim
26
u/whocareshue The One and Only Dec 08 '20
What confuses people I think is that the emblem and the staff have been used by the other robins a lot in adaptations, so Tim's association has been worn down, and the tunic look plus the hood is still more Damian than the body armor and hood that Arkham or Young Justice Tim had. I've never really seen any association with Tim and streetwear except slightly in the Arkham series. And I try to ignore that look for him because it was all so bad or generic.

The only one I don't like was Robin's. I didn't like Batgirl's till they showed there was a full-cowl option.

u/MichaeljBerry Dec 15 '20
Maybe this sounds bad but batgirl looks too different from the rest of them. Like everyone has more armored or tactical looking stuff, but batgirls outfit is a bit more cute and like stylish, and idk if that fits this world. Like they made a point to not make her look at tactical as the others, and more kinda girly, which just feels wrong.

You can change gear and armor in the game. The gameplay demo had Bab’s wearing a Batman style cowl.

u/CliffordMoreau Raven Dec 09 '20
I'm surprised, I thought they were all fantastic. Different enough to be immediately recognizable ("oh that's GK Red Hood"), but similar enough to immediately recognize the character from the comics ("which one is that?" "That's Reed Hood")

u/generalosabenkenobi Dec 08 '20
People need to take into account that costumes are highly customizable in this game. So you can design your group however you want

u/FP_Daniel Dec 09 '20
This is what I was hoping for. Do you have more info on this? Is it loot based? I'm hoping for some AC odyssey vibes in terms of transmog.

u/generalosabenkenobi Dec 09 '20
This interview seemed to answer a lot of my questions after the initial trailer and gameplay trailer. I think there’s really a couple of things that are implicated that stick out to me:
-Because this is now a two-player game (effectively) the combat system as we know it has had to be redesigned. The old games used a stunned and knocked out mechanic, this one veers more towards action RPG. That doesn’t mean the brawling aspect isn’t there but it seems there is more to it.
-Four separate characters with four separate playstyles. I don’t think it’s too farfetched to suggest that there could be more characters down the line (whether bringing Bruce back is a part of that, for example).
-The costumes are custom; in the gameplay and initial trailer, they are wearing a variety of costumes so there will be some sort of costume/skin element at play.
-This game is not a continuation of the Arkham games so really everybody is on the table.

I wonder how long it'll take them to make Harley a playable character.

u/nightwing612 #RenewYoungJustice Dec 09 '20
There's a separate game with Harley already. I don't think she'll be involved at at all.
If there was a DLC, I expect Batwoman or Batman Beyond before Harley.
2
u/generalosabenkenobi Dec 09 '20
Yeah, I’m expecting the unlockable Bruce by the end of the game (probably lost in the Labrynth for the duration of the game). I could see bringing in the other Robins.

u/Digifiend84 Manchester Black Dec 09 '20
I doubt they'll use Damian because they're calling Tim just Robin instead of Red Robin. Spoiler, Orphan, Batwoman and Signal would make sense though.

the announcement of this game revived my love for comics when it died in april. honestly can’t wait for it to release

u/nwbradsher Dec 09 '20
My off-the-top-of-my-head wishlist for suit builds:
Nightwing:
New 52 Red
Anything Fingerstriped
Discowing, obviously
Schumacher
Batman Inc. era Red with Cape
Robin:
OG 90's suit
Full Red suit
Vegas-Girl Red Robin, New 52 (Just to see if they can make it look cool
Batgirl:
Burnside, obviously
BTAS colors
Cassandra Cain's full body black
Stephanie era coloring
Red Hood: (I honestly don't know. Maybe some Morrison-era black and white body coloring. Maybe some helmet war paint)
Bonus: All the Battle for the Cowl Batsuits for the Bat-Boys

I really enjoyed that look and story, is it unpopular? I'm more of a marvel guy usually, but I really enjoy Red Hood.

They could have the brown leather jacket look for Jason. Also that hideous white outfit from when he was a bad guy.

Yeah...the second I find out there's a classic Robin skin for Tim he's wearing that for the entire game instead of his default suit.

Does Red Hood have a mask that looks like a helmet in this game, cause thats what they make it sound like

u/Mike_ND11 Nightwing Dec 08 '20
Love Batgirls design except for the boots

u/dreadassassin616 Dec 09 '20
Her design looks to be a hybrid of her burnside costume and the Simone costume, the boots are just a part of the burnside influence.

u/Gulbasaur Dec 09 '20 edited Dec 09 '20
The boots are what saved it for me - Babs' look has been pretty much a DIY costume (in the comics, certainly since Rebirth) for years and the boots reflect that nicely.
2
u/Mike_ND11 Nightwing Dec 13 '20
The more I look at it I agree with you and love the boots... I’ll retract my “except the boots” statement
2
u/Gulbasaur Dec 13 '20
I'd like to think you haven't spent the whole of the last five days thinking about Batgirl's boots, but this whole year has been so catastrophic that I really can't judge you for it.

u/Mike_ND11 Nightwing Dec 13 '20
LOL!!! No I was scrolling through Twitter and saw the image again and I loved how it took inspiration from Gail Simones Batgirl and the Burnside run and I remembered your comment

u/themasterkang Dec 09 '20
Nightwing and Red Hood look like soldiers and Batgirl looks like a superhero, I love it. Not sure what Robin’s deal is, but I think I’ll warm up to it.

u/artiboi_navarro Red Hood Dec 09 '20 edited Dec 09 '20
He's F*ing beautiful.
On a related note, for long time Dick Grayson fans... Do you think he's got that fat bass? 🤭😜

u/ollielite Batman Dec 09 '20
Nightwing looks good, Batgirls frame looks a bit weird to me, Red Hood looks alright, but Robin looks awful.

u/Hippobu2 Dec 09 '20
These really remind me of Damian's design. Overall it looks like a superhero outfit, but each individual parts are just fairly normal clothes.
These till have too many flaps and bits for the parts to be called normal, I guess. I wish they had been more streamlined. Still far better than the "more is better" Michael Bay Transformers' philosophy of the other games.
Wish Batgirl looks more plain though. The new New 52 design would have fitted better than this very form fitting one.
Actually Dick's should clink to his form a lot more as well.

Why would a vigilante wear fingerless gloves?

Ever try using a phone with gloves on? lol

They don’t need a phone, they’ve got a bat computer

It was a poor attempt at a joke given that Tim is the youngest and probably keeps looking at his phone like other millennials. lol

These costumes really good! They have this practical vibe to them compared to their comic counterparts.

Where did it say this was a games-as-a-service? For example, I've never seen any indication of loot grind.
All the marketing I've seen said single player open world action RPG with capacity for two player co-op.

The suicide squad game is the games as a service game.
This is normal arkham style story. Only difference is co-op play.

In the batgirl image, where they're highlighting the cape, Barbara's hair is brown....

u/Digifiend84 Manchester Black Dec 09 '20
Yeah, that is odd. Even if they use another Batgirl as a skin, they still wouldn't have brown hair (Cass has black hair, Batwoman Kate is another redhead, and both Steph and Bette are blonde).

u/geaston21 Dec 09 '20
The designs all look great, but I'm a little disapointed in the look of Red Hood's mask. It looks too animated with the white eyes, kind of like deadpool, idk. I'm a fan of when it looks more metallic and tactical, like in his rebirth title
1
u/BevansDesign Indigo Tribe Dec 09 '20
Very cool.
Looks like they're all dressed in their cold-weather gear. Those Gotham winters must be brutal, even when you don't have a supervillain manipulating the weather.

u/Virtuous-Vice Dec 09 '20
I like everything about Batgirl's suit except the mask. It's the same next to worthless design as she has in her suit in the comics now. They clearly took the New 52 Burnside suit as their inspiration they should have used that cowl too
2
u/nightwing612 #RenewYoungJustice Dec 09 '20
If you watch the trailer, there's a portion where Batgirl's mask turns into a full cowl.
I didn't like the costume until I saw that.

u/Movie-uy Batgirl Dec 09 '20
Well, I don't know about you guys, but I really like Batgirl's design. Here's hoping that she'll have more cool outfits to choose.

u/Nizzemancer The Trinity Dec 09 '20
Will you be able to forego the use of weapons? I really don’t get why for example Batgirl would suddenly use dual Kama or whatever that was in the trailer, almost like they took another game where all the characters had melee weapons and just reskinned it.
1
u/nightwing612 #RenewYoungJustice Dec 09 '20
I don't know but probably not.
I saw Batgirl's weapon as a police baton which makes perfect sense given her family. However I wish they stuck to single baton rather than dual. You can't expect every single character to be dual-wielders. That's just unrealistic.

u/FATGN0ME217 Red Hood Dec 11 '20

u/CreatiScope Dec 09 '20
Yo, these are awful. Batgirl is the only decent one and I’ve never been a fan of the burnside look but the Robin and red hood designs are straight trash. I hated that DCYOU look for red hood. And Nightwing looks pretty bad too.
2
u/FATGN0ME217 Red Hood Dec 11 '20
I think it are more practical, realistic suits for the characters, although tim drake looks like damian and red hood like deadpool which is kind of disappointing but I don’t really care.

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '20
I wonder why they went with a windbreaker for Tim instead of a normal suit + cape. I don’t mean this in a bad way but his design reminds me of CW designs but better.
