The New Batsuit

[Boom]

With DC rebooting its superheroes later this year, what is everybody's opinion on the redesigned batsuit?

 

[DaveMoral]

Show me a good picture and I'll comment. I don't like what they've done with Superman.

Here you go!

I'm actually digging Capullo's artwork. Big plus for having Professor Pyg stick around. However, I'm totally distracted with the Riddler's question mark mohawk.

As far as Superman's new suit goes...why the hell does he need armored boots? He's SUPERMAN.

I like the suit, never really bothered how the villains looked, not giving a ***** now

 

[LuiECuomo]

The suit basically looks like a more armored version of his current suit, similar to the "Arkham Asylum/City" suit, though not as extreme. No radical change.

The new Superman suit, however, is terrible. Totally unnecessary changes. As many have pointed out, there's absolutely no reason to give a guy who's supposed to be a "man of steel" an armored costume.

 

[Tatsumarushinob]

They might be giving ol' Kal El a more garment like suit, much like Thor's, god-like. Not that they need it, but it still looks sybolic. I don't mind the changes.

I don't even see a diff.

wait so is all the Batman run with Grant for the past few years no longer in continuity?

Nope. Professor Pyg is in the image above so he's still going to be around, Damien is still going to be in the Bat-Family and as it looks like some of the members of Batman, Inc will still be around. As far as everything else goes, still too early to tell.

Thats still not really a good picture of the new suit.

Is Dick going back to being Nightwing??

Yep! Here's the art for the first issue...

I'm really not digging much of the DC reboot looks. The Nightwing suit looks really bad, but I really like the blue and not red. But has anyone seen the look for the Teen Titans or Mister Terrific? Really bad. I really hope this is some kind of temporary post-flashpoint thing DC has going on.

 

[spider13]

so bruce is back to being batman how did they justify that.

 

[OmarBatGeek]

Has anyone found any other pictures? No matter what I search I can't seem to find any...

I think the Batsuit looks fine, pretty much like it did before so not a big deal. The Riddler looks dumb with his mohawk and Nightwing does not look like he's supposed to look. Why would they change his colors to RED and black? It's always been blue, hasn't it?

I don't think they should be rebooting, everything was just fine the way it was.

...it really wasn't.

JLA has sucked for like 5 years now.

Superman's been bad, Wonder Woman too.

JSA's been horrible for at least a year.

Most of DC's good books were actually little known niche books such as REBELS and Thunder Agents that no one really read.

So yeah, a creative reboot was kind of needed. Because outside of Batman and GL, DC was letting all of their other books waste away.

I'd say the gauntlets look a lot like Jim Lee's original designs for All Star Batman and Robin, with Robin's boots. Come to think of it, this design also bares some resemblance to the recent comeback-suit from the comics.

[spider13]

are these reboots going to be a new series or are they going to be replacing the current stuff?

 

[Kaizer]

Full replacement of every title

 

[spider13]

why? how said that was a good Idea?

 

[Kaizer]

I suggest you do a google-search... or just a search of these boards.

 

[spider13]

why? don't you know whats going on?

 

[Kaizer]

I do, but there's just to much to explain. Start here: http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=354169

I'm not a big fan of the new suit.
