In the 1957 comic, Detective Comics Volume 1 #2411, Dick Grayson injures his leg while saving someone as a civilian. Batman decides to wear different brightly colored costumes while Dick's leg is healing, to distract people from realizing Robin's leg is injured and figuring out that Robin is Dick Grayson.
The entire comic can be read online here2.
For this project, I want to make six full figures, one for each of the colors. I have reference materials for this comic, which can be read online here.
One thing that's interesting here is that the cover distinctly shows six colored Batman suits:

One thing that's interesting here is that the cover distinctly shows six colored Batman suits:
- Pink
- Green
- Blue/Gray (normal suit)
- Orange
- Yellow
- Purple
However, in the comic itself, we never see pink or purple. But we do see two others, which are both shown very clearly on Page 1 right after the cover:
- Blue (all blue, not the normal blue/gray like on the cover)
- Red
So the question is, which colors do I actually want to do for this project? I'm leaning toward all but the regular blue/gray, which is essentially the one Mezco actually released as the One:12 Collective Golden Age Batman. So, I'd like to make:
- Pink
- Green
- Orange
- Yellow
- Purple
- Blue
- Red
As a point of reference, McFarlane also released most of these, which we can use for inspiration, though I don't think their figures are as accurate as I'd like.
