I wouldn't like it for everyday Robin attire, but I like it here. It looks very harsh and unforgiving, and indeed tough. It looks very BATMAN, without the ears. I wonder if Tim also wears it to look in his reflection and see what's he's fighting towards, and why he can't let up, despite what everyone else is saying. It's very juxtaposing, seeing that stern profile of the cowl, and then seeing the human, lost young man underneath.
