And back with another Nightwing. One of my favorite things about Injustice is Nightwing's alternate costume and his involvement in the storyline. Very nice. Won't spoil anything. I fell in love with the look immediately, and knew I wanted to make that version after I had made my initial classic look. But, I also wanted to make it in more of the traditional comic look, as well. So, I took some liberties and made him a mix of both with some of my own touches.
I worked for days on the body, playing around with different designs, trying to find something I liked. The torso pretty much stayed the same, but the arms went through a few different layouts before I found one I liked. One thing I knew I wanted from the game design was not adding the red down his entire arm, and adding red to each individual finger. I also took another step and added red to the grooves in the batons. I thought it gave it a nice extra touch. After all this, I realized I had no head. So, I did some searching, tried a few different ones, including Winter Soldier, but nothing worked. Finally found my Build N Brawl Edge and liked the smirk. So, I painted it up, adding the mask as closely as I could to the game design. I still like it quite a bit, but I want to redo the head eventually. The overly pointed chin wasn't too noticeable until I had the figure all finished up and started taking pictures. Recipe: Body - MU Bullseye Batons/Head - MU Daredevil Hair - MU X-23 More pictures, including an attempt at a full combo series against Animal Man can be found here: Nightwing Album

Great body! I take it he's not scale to your Red Son? Otherwise, dio it!

Seriously wasn't expecting a twist in this game. But I remember wondering the whole time why he was with Superman. Then they did that brilliant segment, which is probably my favorite part of the game as a whole, and it was just awesome. lol
Yeah, he's in scale. I pretty much stick to 3 3/4". I was planning on more battle shots like I did a couple weeks ago, but didn't have the time this week. I'll probably go back and do some before the week is up, though. If I still had my other Nightwing I would definitely pose those two together. lol

So, hating the head I used previously, I went back and gave it another shot. X-23's hair seemed an almost perfect match to the look in the game, and I liked the stern seriousness of Daredevil, so I sanded almost the entire back down so it would sit properly. Still may not be the best I could manage, but this is 100% better than my initial attempt. If you like him, check out his other pictures on my Facebook. I think I took somewhere around 12 of him. Whew. Thanks!

I'm a huge Nightwing fan and enjoyed that twist. My biggest disappointment was they didn't pull the regular universe Nightwing to the alternate reality to help out Batman's resistance. I was also disappointed that Nightwing didn't have a playable segment in story mode. Ah well, perhaps in the sequel.
As for your custom, great job. You ever try Nightwing's second (Knightfall/Death of Superman era) costume? That was my fave. |

Forgot about it, honestly. May go back and give it a shot, though. I think I have a ponytail head around here somewhere. Thanks for the compliments!

Even better!
I also just realised that if you select his NEW 52 costume by pressing START it turns it blue

I also got a big kick out of all the cameos of other DC characters scattered throughout the game in the backgrounds. |
