    Hot Toys What if Batman:The Dark Knight Rises had a Robin figure

    I'm going to be doing a kitbash 12" figure of a Dark Knight Rises of what if there was a Robin in the movie.I found a Joseph Gordon-Levitt head on ebay and I'm useing that for the Robin head.I'm going to useing Hot Toys Batman:The Dark Knight Rises pieces that I found on Ebay which I'll modify to make him.Here's my problem,I found a lot of pictures of different Robin costumes on the internet and I can't decide which one to make.I want to make something that would look great with the Batman figure so I'm asking for everyones opinion.I'm attaching pictures of different Robin costumes and I'd like to know which one I should make.Everyone look at the pictures and voice your opinion which would look the best.Thanks for everyones opinion as your vote does count,HAPPY VOTING!!!!

        They're really all to colorful for Nolan. Very muted and armored is the way to go.

          The 1st one if your staying in the Nolan style but the 3rd one is great too.

                The first one looks a little TOO much like Batman. It would make sense to the story, but will look repetitive next to a HT Batman.

                I'd go for the "Batman Live" 3rd option, but go VERY dark green and a deep red to work in the Nolanverse. Maybe add the hood like Arkham City.

                  I like the 3rd one bit with a different belt. To me Robin has to have green, red and tallow in his costume.

                    I really like the third one. But I think if Nolan had done this, he most likely would have taken out the yellow in the cape, because of it's ability to expose Robin in the shadows. But personally, I love the color scheme you have. It's subtle enough to be workable in a film of this tone, but still retain that thematic look of Robin. Nicely done!

                        I quite preferred the fourth one even with a splash of yellow. Probably doesn't fit with the nolanverse but I liked it nonetheless. You could go with a solid black cape instead. Keep us posted. I can't wait to see this started.

                          I like the second one with the hood. I like the option of the hood, and it calls back to Robin's medeival roots.

                            Am I the only one seeing how a Nolan Robin would look like?
                            Number five, please!!!!

                            It think it would fit well, it's not too "spandex" like, colors are not too bright.

                              I in fact meant the fifth one but I was tired and cross eyed posting last night.
