The New Batsuit

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

So far, this is the only new design that I like as much or more than the original.
 
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.

Who drew these? Batman's calves are just wrong!
 
I don't mind the new suit at all, it's not such a huge departure that it makes me dislike it. Still far from my favorite suits I've seen in the last ten years.

david finch drew the top one. jim lee drew the bottom one.


all of the redesigns look awful and inferior to their previous designs.

So the bad calves are part of the redesign and not just bad drawing?
 
Batman's seems like one of the costumes with the least changes to it. Also, I think the "armoured" look only really works for him, as he needs more body protection than characters who can just ignore bullets.
 
I love the new Batsuit! I really like that it's black and gray with the oval-less Bat-symbol and no trunks! The ellipse Bat-symbol was one of my few disappointments with the Batman, Inc. Batsuit. I could do with a darkened utility belt, make it dark brown/bronze/gray/black.
 
Here you go!

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

As far as Superman's new suit goes...why the hell does he need armored boots? He's SUPERMAN.
Wow! That looks great. Is there anymore?
 
Is it just me or does Superman's new costume seem to be a palette swap of Batman's costume?

It kinda does, actually. I just don't get why everyone seems to have an armoured look. Fair enough for characters like Batman (protection during fights) or Green Lantern (he's basically a space policeman, so the ring could have a default armoured uniform) but with Superman, it just doesn't make sense.
 
Why wouldn't Superman wear armour? Sure everyday run of the mill thugs don't pose a threat to Superman but if a Supervillian were to attack Superman armour would probably help.

Two out of three ain't bad I suppose. And its certainly an improvement over the Inc. outfit. The trunks will be back. They always do. They simply works better for the overall look. DC knows that even now:

... whereby the shading breaks up the monotone and gives the effect of the trunked look. That "effect" will become actual trunks sooner or later when they realize yet again that different is just different not better.

I'm not so sure either.
Then again, Batman and Superman's costume have traditionally been palette swaps of each other, except for Batman's cowl and gloves, as well as differences in the details they do share.

Good point.

I hope the trunks don't come back. The don't work better for the overall look. I think they worked best on Dick Grayson's Batsuit, but Bruce is better off without them.
 
They will. They do. They work regardless, but Bruce is not "better off" without them or with them for that matter—it is just a little darker ink on paper after all. The look is better off though.

This is a matter of subjective opinion, and I disagree with you. I really hope that the trunks don't return, because the Batsuit looks better without them, in my opinion.
 
1. Cyborg is HUGE:dry:
2. Supermans suit is awesome:word:
3. Nightwings new suit is awesome. If it werent for the movie, all the naysayers would be riding its sack.:whatever:
4. Batman looks AWESOME!!!:awesome:
In the one pic where everyone is standing, his costume looks damn near one toned. When I first saw it, I thought is was all black, which would be a dream come true for me. Now it looks DARK DARK grey, and you know what, THAT'LL DO PIG!!!

5. When's this **** start?:huh:
