WARNING: Spoilers for BATMAN/SUPERMAN: WORLD'S FINEST #32!Just when fans thought they had seen every take on Dick Grayson’s Robin costume, DC unveiled an epic accessory that’s practically made for those looking to spice up their Boy Wonder cosplays with a retro twist. The best part? It’s a fun, DIY project that cosplayers of all skill levels can dive into.
In Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #32 by Mark Waid and Adrián Gutiérrez, the supervillain Eclipso targets the newly-formed Justice League, possessing Batman and Superman to carry out his plan to decimate Earth’s population and extend his reign of terror across the universe.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Justice League is helplessly trapped in a massive version of Eclipso’s infamous black diamond. Fortunately, Dick Grayson’s Robin is determined to save the team—and Earth itself—and his first move is spying on the possessed Superman and Batman with his newly introduced Robin goggles.
Dick Grayson Debuts His New Robin-Themed Goggles
'Robin Goggles' Are the Ultimate Answer to a Retro Cosplay Upgrade
The Eclipso-possessed Superman and Batman return to the Batcave intending to use Bruce’s resources. When Robin greets them, unaware of their possession, it leads to a short-lived confrontation that ends with the evil Clark and Bruce tossing Dick into the depths of the cave, assuming he poses no threat to their plans. However, Dick Grayson, ever resourceful, decides to investigate their intentions. To remain undetected, he slips on his new Robin goggles, which resemble the classic View-Masters of the 20th century, but in the Boy Wonder’s iconic colors of red, yellow, and green.
The View-Master was a classic toy featuring a pair of goggles with a lever that, when pulled, rotated a reel to display a new image with each click.
This new accessory not only adds a layer of intrigue to Dick’s mission but also gives his Robin a retro look that’s tailor-made for cosplay. The goggles would make a standout addition to any Boy Wonder outfit, adding both style and nostalgia. For cosplayers seeking a creative challenge, these goggles could even inspire a full retro-themed Robin costume to match their vintage look. Unique and visually striking, these goggles are bound to draw attention at any comic con, offering fans a fun, nostalgic twist on the classic Robin aesthetic.
Dick Grayson once again dons the iconic red, yellow, and green of his Robin costume as the Titans' classic suits return to mainstream continuity.
How Can You Make Your Very Own Pair of Robin Goggles? (The Easy Way)
Dick Grayson’s Goggles Are the Perfect DIY Cosplay Craft
While there’s always the option to create the Robin goggles from scratch, those seeking a faster or easier way to achieve this look can repurpose a pair of thick goggles. Steampunk goggles, for example, are relatively easy to find due to their high demand, and their bulkiness and shape closely resemble the goggles Dick wears in World’s Finest. Simply purchasing a pair of goggles and painting over them to match the Boy Wonder’s design is a straightforward approach. For those aiming for a more accurate replica, using Apoxie Sculpt allows them to mold and sculpt the signature Robin“R” insignia.
