Note: As seen in the above two drawings of Batman, Timm and Murakami refined what had come before in Batman: The Animated Series by making the character more streamlined and angular, but also by taking the yellow oval off the logo on the chest and changing the two-tone color of the costume to black and gray. The only colorful element of the costume was the utility belt, which itself were changed to be similar to the Batman: Year One designs.

Note: Nightwing is by far my favorite design coming out of The New Batman Adventures. No matter if you’d classify the hairstyle as as slicked-back or a mullet, the now-older Dick Grayson rebels against the colorful duds of his youthful days as Robin in a very minimalistic take on the Nightwing design from the comics.

Note: Tim Drake takes over the mantle of Robin this series, and the dynamic duo of Timm & Murakami give us a Robin that’s a throwback to his ’40s origin but with a darker tinge to it. Instead of red-and-green it’s red-and-black, and making him a diminutive 13 years old also did wonders for the visual dynamic of the character in contrast to the rest of the ensemble.
