Need help with a costume

I play on Virtue, and recently snagged the name 'Silent Sentry'. I think he's gonna be an amalgam of Batman & Daredevil, but I'm drawing a blank on a costume design. So I come to you guys for some help. The design I've been trying to nail down is Silver Age in nature, but I can't figure out what I want. For now, he's in red tights, red ninja mask 1, black tight gloves, red tights, and black folded boots. On his chest is the shield emblem in yellow with a red and black red torch. It doesn't sit well with me, so I need someone else's help. I appreciate it.

Just stay far far away from this and you'll be fine. Be careful with that name and taking inspiration from other comic characters.

And sorry, no help with an actual costume for ya right now from me... Although, if you're going for Silver Age, the Ninja mask doesn't quite match the expected look, and with silent in the name, you might want to go with more muted (pun sorta intended) colors rather than use 2/3 of the primaries.

Well, the Sentry is not one of my favorite creations, so there's no worry there. And by amalgam of Batman & Daredevil, I mean in attitude, abilities, that sort of thing. I think the name is safe, cause I don't know of any DC/Marvel creation by that name. As for colors, I'd like to stay away from black and grey, cause even though he may a street tough/rooftop gladiator type, I don't want him to be bland.

I'd suggest light greys/silvers with black trim, perhaps a looser face detail (+goggles?), perhaps a theme of "fading" into the darkness, use the blend pattern?

Silent doesn't have to mean "gonna pound everything and plant a flag in its butt when I'm done" and bold colors (and a chest detail) kinda imply that. Silent Sentinel I dunno, I think it sounds more sneaky/careful/observant to me, like you won't know what hit you and when you look it's just a shadow passing on the street.

Well, I got bored... Didn't know what powersets or whatever you plan on him being, so I didn't have any of that in mind when designing this. Anyway, came up with this and then realized that the bright white, while it looks nice and bold, probably wouldn't be best for a "rooftop gladiator" so I toned it down a little bit and choose one of the lighter blues instead, which gets us this. Muted colors doesn't have to mean black and grey. We don't really get a ton of low saturation value colors, but they are useful; if one were to remake this costume using the color four circles to the left... Whole different costume and theme, and way too bright for this character >.<

I'm figuring on DB/Kat/Fire/DM scrapper at the moment, and I have the Valkyrie, Magic, & Cyborg booster sets. I guess I plan on keeping him capeless or keeping with a simple cape. It's like I said, I have a basic premise for him, but everything else is kinda fuzzy at the moment, lol.
