    I think Brett is by far the best Nightwing artist of the New 52. Here's some of his work:

    His energetic art style is going to be perfect for Nightwing, though I hope moving off a multi-character book like Teen Titans will give him more time to work on other characters because he's got a bad knack of making every character look like the same person sometimes.

    His energetic art style is going to be perfect for Nightwing,

    I agree. He really nails Dick's gleeful acrobatism. He always has Dick with this little smirk, which really shows he gets Nightwing. Some previous artists (Barrows, for example) showed Dick serious faced all the time, flipping through the air. But lets not forget Dick is someone who absolutely LOVES what he does. He's a character who enjoys being a masked hero and exudes the love of his craft.

    though I hope moving off a multi-character book like Teen Titans will give him more time to work on other characters because he's got a bad knack of making every character look like the same person sometimes.


    I've heard people say he draws Dick and Tim similarly yet I don't see it. Dick, Tim and Jason all look rather similar to begin with. They all have similar height, physique and hair. Even an artist like Capullo (who I really enjoy, anyway) seems to show a likeness between each character.

    But I haven't read Teen Titans so I wouldn't know if he makes likenesses with other characters. Anyway, I'm enjoying his art a lot thus far. Lets hope it continues!

    @extremis: In Teen Titans, almost every character looks the same. Even the girls look a lot like the guys. It's the shape and characteristics on their faces. A little chin hair and dark skin on Bunker isn't enough. It is a recurring issue for most artists, though I have to give Capuallo credit, he does a good job making Bruce, Alfred, and Gordon look very different in facial structure, but sometimes characters end up looking the same still.

    I really like Booth's work so far. I think it's a pretty big step up from the previous issues.

    This. My biggest concern is the same as it always is with the "Robins". They naturally look very similar. If you tried to describe them physically you could almost have someone looking for the same person 3 times over. Booth has the talent, he simply needs to put in the right amount of attention to avoid this with all characters that appear in Dick's book.

    I'm not so worried about similarities between the various Robins, because like you said, they all look about the same (though I'll be concerned if Stephanie Brown has short black hair, haha). I would say I like Dick more smirk-y/smile-y, Jason more frown-y/broody, and Tim more calm and calculating. Though I'm not sure how you'd do that, but just off the top of my head.

    But as far as Booth goes, I meant more like Superboy looking identical to Tim and if you took off the chin hair and a gave him a lighter skin tone, Bunker would be a dead ringer for them too.

    I know that's why I said he needs to avoid it with the other characters that will appear in Dick's book, as the chances of Jason or Tim showing up anytime soon are a little slim lol black haired, dudes are quite common in any universe.

    @nathaniel_christopher: I guess what I'm thinking about is developing different facial structures for different characters and what not. I mean, look at how Capullo does Bruce vs. Gordon:

    Different face shapes altogether. Bruce's is rather round while Gordon's is long and thin. Now, it's not like Capullo doesn't end up making other characters look the same, all of his Robins look about the same, but I love when there is a conscious effort to distinguish characters by more than hair color or the symbol on their chest.

    Finally. I haven't enjoyed the interior work on Nightwing for a while (that wasn't Barrow's right? He mainly did covers, didn't he?) Especially the past two issues.

    As for differentiating, they should have kept Todd as having red hair that he dyed black and I think the height differences and physicality or the Robins should be a little different. Dick is more of an acrobat but Todd is more of a fighter/brawler imo.

    Agreed. Jason should always be a little shorter than Dick in my opinion, but with more noticeable muscle on his frame.
