New Acquisition

I know I said I'd be more regular about this blog but real life sometimes catches up with you. This week though I thought I would share some photos of my newest acquisition in superhero gear

Still a bit iffy on showing my face but oh well, I can always edit it later.

For the longest time I've wanted a Nightwing costume. You see, Dick Grayson was my first gay crush on a superhero character. I grew up reading George Perez and Marv Wolfman's Teen Titans series and Dick was always shirtless, ripped (but not overly so) and constantly bound in his green speedos and later in his robin's egg blue acrobats uniform. I've loved nearly every incarnation of the Nightwing costume, except the New 52 one...Red on black just sort of ruins the image of Dick Grayson I've always had, you know one of the better socially adjusted members of the Bat Family, kinder, friendlier more like the kind of guy I'd want to marry.

Hopefully I'll have some more pics to share in the future but I do believe Nightwing will be my Halloween costume this year, I just need a harness to carry some batons and a mask to complete the look. Allonsy!
