Raphael 2007

In the 2007 film, Raphael has a very big role and he is shown to be fighting crime as an alter-ego, called the Nightwatcher. Leonardo disapproves of this, and this causes their rivalry. Eventually, Raphael controls his anger and during the fight he refuses to kill his brother. Eventually, Raphael saves his brother and they reconcile with each other. Raphael also in the 2007 film, speaks in a Brooklyn accent, making him sound a bit different from his brothers.

At the start of this 2007 CGI sequel, a 19 year old Raphael is growing increasingly frustrated and violent over Leonardo's absence, has become a masked vigilante, the Nightwatcher, going to the surface at night and fighting crime in a very brutal fashion. As well as being quite unpleasant towards his family. He feels that Leonardo has abandoned the family. When Leonardo returns from Central America, Raphael is somewhat frosty towards his brother and this coldness is not helped when Leonardo shows a distain for the Nightwatcher's actions. Later, Leonardo confronts him in his Nightwatcher disguise; without knowing his true identity at all, and toys with Raphael; who using a manriki-gusari, is not a match for Leonardo. Leonardo knocks off his helmet with an uppercut and then, seeing it's Raphael, starts to lecture him. He and Leonardo then come to blows and, in a bout of focused rage, he breaks Leonardo's katanas and pins him to the ground, his sai striking an inch from his brother's head. Leonardo's staring causes him to snap out of it and retreat. After Leo is kidnapped; by the Stone Generals and the Foot Clan, Raphael attempts to save him; but fails, and returns to the lair distraught. Here, it's stated that some of his jealousy towards Leonardo is because he was the apparent favored son of Splinter; after Splinter assures him that he is just as valued as all his brothers, he effectively leads the Turtles joined by Splinter, April and Casey in a rescue, giving Leo a new pair of swords to replace the ones he destroyed in their fight, effectively passing the baton to his brother and accepting him as leader.

Raph is a teenage mutant turtle, much like his brothers, with his height at 5ft 10in, and his weight at 170 lbs. He has a chartreuse-green skin tone, and brown eyes. Also, his hands have two fingers and a thumb on each one, and his feet has two toes on each foot (much like his brothers).

For his attire, Raph wears a red bandana, along with his ninja gear, which includes a pair of brown elbow pads, as well as a pair of brown knee pads. In his Nightwatcher persona, he wears a suit of body armor that completely covers his body, and a helmet that has built in lights and a police scanner to help him keep tabs on crimes to fight.

In this version, Raphael is very rebellious and cynical. In the first film, his anger issues are focused on a lot. Once he gets injured and reconciles; with Leonardo, Raphael becomes lot less angry. He is very loyal and mature since when Shredder tells the turtles to throw away their weapons or he will kill Leonardo, Raphael is the first turtle to throw away his weapons; with the other two brothers following suite. This shows Raphael's loyalty towards his family. In the second film, Raphael is a lot more like his cartoon counterpart; since he is not angry very often. He is very cynical and sarcastic; but he still has a rebellious side and his rivalry with Leonardo is still present. He is also the first turtle to find out that Shredder is still alive. In the third film, Raphael is not very angry or sarcastic and he does not really have much to do. He is shown to be very caring; since he becomes good friends with a boy, named Yoshi.
