In what feels prefer it is perhaps a little bit of cleverforeshadowing, a recently-released, high-definition photograph of Robin (Brendon Thwaites) from DC Universe’s forthcoming collection Titans seems to incorporate a tip of the costume-design hat to Nightwing, the costumed identification Dick Grayson took on after abandoning that of Robin.

It may theoretically be a coincidence, however cape clips and a few costume design selections on the Robin swimsuit for Titans seem to come back togehter on the heart of his chest to type one thing that intently resembles the “bird-like” brand utilized by Nightwing on Batman: The Animated Collection and in later interpretations within the comics and onscreen.

You’ll be able to see the vaguely t-shape within the heart of his chest, with a element on the high (meant to ape the “laced” look of Robin’s early tunic tops, however right here metallic) that gives a “head” for the fowl. On the ideas of the “T” are cape clips which flip inward and up from the surface edges of the T in the identical approach Nightwing’s different costumes (which have a stylized stripe quite than one thing that’s explicitly a fowl) includes a jagged function in its line.

Thwaites’s Dick Grayson will apparently be the point of interest of Titans, and official photographs for the collection have handled him as such, with extra Robin formally launched than some other character on the present.

Titans follows younger heroes from throughout the DC Universe as they arrive of age and discover belonging in a gritty tackle the basic Teen Titans franchise. Dick Grayson and Rachel Roth, a particular younger woman possessed by an odd darkness, get embroiled in a conspiracy that would carry Hell on Earth. Becoming a member of them alongside the way in which are the hot-headed Starfire and loveable Beast Boy. Collectively they develop into a surrogate household and staff of heroes.

After the primary season of Titans is over, DC Universe will spin off Doom Patrol into its personal present.

What do you suppose — is that this an intentional costuming element meant to evoke the character’s future or foreshadow one thing from later within the collection…or simply one thing that comedian guide nerds see as a form of bizarre Rorschach check? Pontificate within the feedback.
