To be accurate to the last few years of comics, the figure ought to be more child-like / less teenager-ish: shorter, not as skinny, rounder in the face. And of course much more grumpy. (And yeah, a hood option would be great.) That figure looks like a 14 year old version of Damian — after a bit of a growth spurt, and the on-set of puberty.

Some of us like the DC Universe as it's existed from the late 90s to mid 2000s. Keep Dick as (a) Batman, and get rid of Barry Allen!

It is simple, obvious and doesn't muck up what works while allowing Bruce Batman to return. This is most people end up quitting comics. Good characters and stories always get shoved aside when someone gets determined to shove their thumb into something. “Nightwing & Robin” is an awesome idea.

When Damian was introduced, I HATED the character so much. More so when I found out he was replacing Tim Drake as Robin who still remains my favorite Robin to this day. Damian was annoying, arrogant and murderous (I mean, he DID kill a man during his first story arch) But still, when Morrison took over the book and paired him up with Dick, I really found him to be surprisingly enjoyable of a character. He started to soften up, and his relationship with Dick became something I really loved to read about. Dick has an amazing habit of bringing out the best in people and just like he did it with Bruce, he did it with Damian too. They made a good team and I'm really going to hate not seeing them working together. I kinda wish they'd switched the book to "Nightwing and Robin" after the reboot. I’m with you Willis.

I don't think ithis is his idea. Morrison’s expressed regret over the decision to pair Bruce and Damian, and said his plan was for Dick and Damian to be partners for basically forever.

That's just a rerelease of a DCSH Batman figure. I'm glad to finally see Damian as Robin in toy form though! I just wish there was a swappable head with hood up... Newp.
