Thomas Fummo's 1930's Batman & Robin

While we usually receive redesigns of characters that look like they could step into comics right now, we occasionally pick up reinterpretations of characters, like this one from Thomas Fummo, who re-imagines the costumes of the Dynamic Duo from the 1930's - 1940's:

"The main thought behind both was to incorporate more of a pulpy feel to the design, including visual references to Zorro, Lone Ranger and Dracula. Despite these flairs I wanted the outfits to still look practical and comfortable and I also tried to make the logos a tad more detailed (as well as zoologically correct). Finally I removed the ears from Batman's cowl, which I know is a bold step, but I wanted to experiment with other ways in which Bruce could achieve the iconic bat-shadow he casts with the outline of the suit and cape, without adding ears to the actual mask. I think the high collar would work in a similar way, as well as making him look less like a devil and more gothic swashbuckler. I removed the green from Robin's costume, using the Tim Drake Robin palet which I have always preferred when put alongside Batman's black and grey."

It's pretty creative, don't you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and stay tuned for more redesigns as the month closes.
