If I'm seeing well, apart from his number one shirt and hairdo, he also has a seemingly familiar bracelet, mask and cape! But then, I'm not the best judge since I'm not an expert when it comes to enter into details regarding the original Batman and Robin!

Aye, that's out-of-Batsuit Batman.

Aha! I found the Robin pic:

And Doh2 I just realized that on the first link, he's described as 'Science Ninja Hero Batman'.

That's pretty neat, almost looks like Ken under the Batsuit and Jun riding in the Bat cycle. Smile

As good a description of Bats as I can think of.

Prefer him looking a little older, and the American version of Joker and Harlequin.

Same reaction here! I was too happily busy trying to look for particulars which could be associated to Ken, without paying attention to the most important details!

UW ... thanks for the wake up call!! I guess I need to increase my sleeping hours!

Looks just like the "G-Force Batman" designed for Gotham Knight which I posted about a ways back.

Kinda uninspired. I mean, it makes for cute fanart, but for actual designs, it's kinda "meh" IMO (mainly Joker and Harley bug me).

EDIT: My bad, I read the actual article and it looks like these were just made on a whimsy as a fun homage, nothing too serious. I thought these were going to be used in an actual running series.
