Just get both. They'll announce Nightwing in 2030.

“Batman Forever” is a corny movie but that line pays homage to Burt Ward’s classic TV Robin where he often exclaimed “Holy (insert weird statement), Batman!” so it was a cool thing for the movie to do.

And here sideshow incorporated that reference into this PF by having Robin jumping over literal “holy, rusted metal”. That’s why the guy in the video says “I see what you did, Sideshow.”

Wrong Robin since the movie and TV show are both Dick, which makes it funny to me since this statue is two Robins and still not the one the reference pertains to, but still it’s cool of Sideshow to include the reference. If anything it shows the creativity and cleverness they put into this statue and I imagine it was fun for them to make this. Makes me appreciate it even more.

Nice write-up, Peedi. I had forgotten about Chris O'Donnell's reference to the '66 Batman in Batman Forever.

It's good, if a little safe. They could have been more creative with the pose of a former circus acrobat. Also this...

This isn’t that Robin. Dick was the circus acrobat you’re referring to. This one is both Tim and Damian.

Yeah, the pose is similar to Nathan Drake. Also in the same posing realm as the Amazing Spider-Man PF and Miles Spider-Man PF

Thanks chronos

Thanks chronos

I know, I was referring to Dick. Also, has it actually been confirmed yet by Sideshow that this is Tim? They make no mention of it in the video, and I can't find any more info on the site.

Dick didn't wield a bo staff did he? I have to assume this is Tim.

So much determination, perseverance and hope really deserved a reward.
Now, Sideshow, please give Demona her so much desired Storm, and this new year will already look like a happy fireworks.

Thanks guys, I'm crossing my fingers. Four days left to see if we all finally get a new Storm drop! I always hope that the SS crew has seen my passion for Storm and thought...hope we do Demona's passion justice.....

I am very happy for Robin fans. Even more for guys like you, Peedi, who LOVE the statue. The fact the statue can rep TWO Robins in one is sweet.

He has before in the comics and more recently in the cartoons (Teen Titans Go for example, as well as the original show from 2003 iirc...). He also wields one in the arkham games but I'm not 100% on that.

But I take your point, the staff is mostly Tim Drake's thing -- although I wouldn't put it past Sideshow to have taken some liberties here.

The Robin wielding the staff in the Arkham games is Tim Drake. Dick Grayson is already Nightwing in the games.

I stand corrected - I've never played those games myself so my knowledge is limited; still, Dick has wielded the bo staff in the cartoons and the comics (Dark Victory is another example).

Anyway, I digress. Tim Drake wouldn't have been my first choice but it's a quarter scale comic Robin statue, so there's that.
