Redesigning Robin


I am not the biggest fan of Robin: The Boy Wonder.  It's fun in a Dick Sprang, Burt Ward kinda way, but in any half-serious take on Batman, the idea of bringing a kid (no matter how expertly trained) is pretty reckless.

That said, I think you can do a fairly interesting version of the character if he's a kid inspired by Batman, but operating without his expressed consent.  That's the thought here, with obvious nods to Frank Quitely's Damien Wayne design.

UPDATE: People on Twitter seemed to like the Robin design with Batman colors, so I thought I'd post it here as well.  Which do you prefer?
