The original was the high-collar, open-chested \"disco-wing\" outfit. The black and blue outfit is far more iconic though.


The story isn't currently in line with the ComicBook/{{New 52}}--or for the record, any other Batman continuity. Nightwing has his original blue costume, Barbara is still Oracle, all of the Robins live in Wayne Manor, etc.
