      Some sort of owl theme seems more fitting for Batman’s sidekick, as bats and owls are both stealthy night predators. I feel there was missed opportunity. I’ve seen there are some owl themed villians in universe, but they don’t seem to have ever become big enough to appear in anything mainstream that I can recall.

        As long as you design a suit for owl boy that has a spandex speedo, I’m sure Bruce would be down.

          So mean! 😜

          The cape does blow the argument it’s purely for the sake of mobility.

          He does continue to wear it after he goes off to be Nightwing, so at least he’s wearing it because he wants to.

          Carrie Kelley seems to get an about equally revealing outfit as well, so at least there’s no gender bias going on.

          If you got a hero bod, you may as well rock it…
