Can We Please Discuss This?
Its not even really that big a deal. Honest. But for some reason, it really bugs me.

So the issue ends with the new Azrael having snuck into the Batcave a second time in recent history (boy, they've really got to get better security on this place) and encountering Nightwing.

Look at it!! He %&#$ed up Dick's costume!! I know, I know, its not a terrible deal, but the artist on this title (Frazer Irving) has cranked out some kinda wonky art, and this is just....guh! The costume is known for its simplicity, so why did he mess up the finger things?

There, I vented. I'll go back to not really worrying about what happens in a title that'll likely be rendered obsolete in a few months. That said, I'm digging the story so far.

Edit. I was showing the horrible art to a friend of mine, and I realized that he messed it up in issue #1 too! For an example of the messed up costume, plus his less than smoothly drawn Oracle contours, click HERE! (Linked since I'm not sure right off hand how many issues of A:DDK #1 were posted before!)

	Not sure I see it as that big a deal, he simply doesn't have the stripe continuing across Dick's back and made it more grey instead of blue (Which could be down to lighting in the cave) There have been a lot of variant stylings on Dick's costume, from what sort of gloves he wore to the depth of the V on his chest.

	Didn't even notice the back, the fingers buggered me more. Stupid moment of fanboy rage. Its not even necessarily a bad look, just inconsistent with his look in the other books he's in right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Heck, think that's bad, try being a Spiral fan, almost no one ever remembers she's only supposed to have three fingers and a thumb on each hand. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	The stripe isn't on the right fingers. It should cover his middle and ring fingers. Not that, you know, I'm fixated on the stripe and Dick's fingers at all. (Reply to this) (Parent)
