I am the ~~night~~ tree.
Some sort of owl theme seems more fitting for Batman's sidekick, as bats and owls are both stealthy night predators. I feel there was missed opportunity. I've seen there are some owl themed villians in universe, but they don't seem to have ever become big enough to appear in anything mainstream that I can recall.
As long as you design a suit for owl boy that has a spandex speedo, I'm sure Bruce would be down.
So mean! 😜
The cape does blow the argument it's purely for the sake of mobility.
He does continue to wear it after he goes off to be Nightwing, so at least he's wearing it because he wants to.
Carrie Kelley seems to get an about equally revealing outfit as well, so at least there's no gender bias going on.
If you got a hero bod, you may as well rock it...
Really nice.
My goal is to disappear this well at work.
For owls that are superb.

If you find an injured owl:
Note your exact location so the owl can be released back where it came from. Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitation specialist to get correct advice and immediate assistance.
Minimize stress for the owl. If you can catch it, toss a towel or sweater over it and get it in a cardboard box or pet carrier. It should have room to be comfortable but not so much it can panic and injure itself. If you can’t catch it, keep people and animals away until help can come.
Do not give food or water! If you feed them the wrong thing or give them water improperly, you can accidentally kill them. It can also cause problems if they require anesthesia once help arrives, complicating procedures and costing valuable time.
If it is a baby owl, and it looks safe and uninjured, leave it be. Time on the ground is part of their growing up. They can fly to some extent and climb trees. If animals or people are nearby, put it up on a branch so it’s safe. If it’s injured, follow the above advice.
