"Back in 1990, @dccomics set about re-designing the Robin character for his upcoming return to comics. One of the artists asked to submit designs for this was the late Norm Breyfogle. Norm sent in a batch of new designs and, even though @dccomics ultimately went with the @thenealadams version, many of the elements in @normbreyfogleart 's designs made their way into the character (the "R" symbol, the folding staff, etc.). The reason I'm sharing this here, though? One of the coolest elements about Breyfogle's Robin designs was his admitted incorporation of the 1989 movie style Batman boots and gloves!"

Always like Breyfogle's design but it's too monochromatic. It desperately needed a splash of color. Cool design otherwise tho.

I also see a little bit of the 89 belt in there too :D
