I should preface this by saying that this idea came to me before even watching the film. Once it was announced that an action figure of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character CGPD Officer John Blake would be released, I wondered what a custom turning it into Robin would be like. Alas, I have not acquired this figure yet, so for this conceptual look at a "what if" scenario where John Blake somehow becomes Nightwing/Robin (won't discuss how that's addressed in the movie, it's not as entirely straightforward as one might think), I used the head from a Marvel Ghost Rider movie Blackheart, with the front of the hair shaved down, the face painted over and a mask sculpted on to. I couldn't find the right neck pegs so this was a royal pain to attach to the Survival Suit Bruce Wayne body. The details are sculpted on, and went for a mix of the blue colour scheme with a dark, rust-red since the New 52 Nightwing has a suit with red highlights. The escrima sticks are from an old DCSH Nightwing, with the handles cut off.

UPDATED with the actual John Blake head. I was hesitant to use the John Blake head as I only have one and it's hard to find, so I came up with a removable mask so the head can still be placed back on the policeman body. The mask was made with a twisty tie and a piece of soft card.

Thank you Chester, that is very kind of you to say. Yes, the head does look out of place - I had a lot of trouble trying to get it to sit on the neck and it looks odd as it is. I'm sure it will look better with an official MM John Blake head, given that it's part of the same toyline.

just a thaught
the current name is
Nightwing/Robin (Nolan-Verse)
you should change it to
John Blake | Joseph gordon levvit Nightwing/Robin (Nolan-Verse)
in my opinion
cause then people typing into google or the figure realm search might type john blake robin or joseph gordon levvit nightwing or something and they will find this figure an dmore chance of commenting etc
but thats just me......
