Even the mask DynamiteWebber credits to Tiger Stone FX looks as though it was plucked right off of the page . However , the up , close , and personal stab strength Nightwingfans to face a toilsome truth about the lineament ’s costume choices .
The musical theme that a small masquerade such as Nightwing ’s being able to protect anyone ’s identity is a genuine stretching . It leave the bulk of a character ’s face unprotected and does nothing to hide other identifiable traits such as one ’s pilus . Just taking a look at DynamiteWebber ’s face gives one a passably good idea of how he looks unmasked . Though Dick did , at one power point , have his face dramatically expose to the world in " Forever Evil , " it ’s hard to purchase that absolutely no one with any closeness to Dick andNightwing could n’t colligate the two before . Leaving the majority of the head unwrap is too big a risk , which is in all probability why a fictitious character like Batwoman goes a step further and adds a wig to her outfit , adding in an extra layer of anonymity . A domino mask is just too weak on its own to in truth avail a hoagie like Nightwing stick secure .
That say , DynamiteWebber does a fantastic Book of Job at bringingNightwingto life , and despite the issues it brings up regarding Dick ’s secret identity , the cosplay is no less awe-inspiring .
