Costumes depicted with meticulous attention to detail

- Color Reproduction: The overall color palette is described as "vibrant." The costume, a gray and blue variant, is cited as one reviewer's favorite of Batman's past color schemes.
- Clever ducking: The underside of Batman's mask, or chin area, exposes the yellow part under the duck's beak . This looks like Batman's chin peeking out from under the mask.
