2. Tactical Upgrade (Detective Comics #5 - March 1987) As Dick Grayson becomes more accustomed to fighting crime alongside Batman, his costume undergoes a tactical upgrade to enhance his mobility and survivability in increasingly dangerous situations. Design Features: • Red Top stays largely the same, but with added padding and reinforced seams for protection. • Green Pants replace the shorts, providing better protection and flexibility. • Yellow Utility Belt becomes more advanced, now equipped with specialized compartments for smoke pellets, batarangs, and other gadgets. • Boots are now high-tech for better agility, with traction soles for scaling buildings. • Cape retains its yellow color but is now streamlined, with a more tech-enhanced fabric that offers better aerodynamics. • Mask evolves into a more tight-fitting design, with a concealed communication device built into the cowl to allow for instant contact with Batman.
