Batman and Robin Beyond

I have always had trouble drawing this particular Batman, which is honestly very annoying because this is one of my favorite designs. The design itself is very simple, which is one thing that makes it difficult, but the most annoying thing to draw is the face. Outside of Bruce Timm’s style, it’s very hard to draw this and make it look GOOD, which I oddly felt that I’ve done.

So I was watching the episode “Where’s Terry”, and it had this kid in it who called himself “Dak”, which is short for “Darius Arthur Kelman”. In the episode, he and Terry are trapped in some tunnels under Gotham by Shriek. I found their dynamic really interesting because it reminded me a lot of Dick and Damion during their run as Batman and Robin. (You know, that time when Bruce died.)

In this costume, I threw in a bit of a mix of the Batman Beyond outfit with Robin and Nightwing. The suit’s more or less identical than Terry’s give or take several aesthetic changes. It even comes with wings and jet boots, though his wings are more bird wing shaped, like the robin Birdarangs.

Anyway, Batman and Robin belong to DC Comics.
