Yeah..... those pointed boots leave little much to be desired.

Romita Jr's art is crap.

Jae Lee's art now that's different but pretty awesome.
 
Yup. One is a good kind of different and other is a sh**ty kind of different.
 
It's so interesting how artistic tastes vary. I think Jae Lee's art is terrible and it has prevented me from reading any of the new 52 Superman/Batman comics.
 
Regardless of how one feels about the costume (which is... awful), the comments about John Romita Jr. being terrible are patently absurd. The man is one of the most prolific comic artists of all time. His output on Superman is not his best, certainly, but when you've been penciling some of the top tier projects in the industry for thirty years you're allowed to get a little lax. Calling Romita crap because of his output in Superman is like picking up an issue of Batman Odyssey and calling Neal Adams a hack.

Frankly, the work he's done on Spider-Man (especially during JMS' run in the '00s, where I would say JR was at the peak of his powers) is the kind of stuff where it becomes appropriate to throw around words like "definitive." As in, "defined an entire generation of Spider-Man comics."
 
His stuff on Daredevil and XMen from decades back are wonderful as well. He may not be good with Superman, but who gives a crap…it's just Superman. :O
 
I prefer Romita's 80's and 90's work to his 00's 10's work. A lot. It's like he's a parody of himself now.
 
Yeah, his older stuff was great.
 
The New 52 suit is what i call change just for the sake of change.
 
I call it something with four letters.
 
Yes, that's an adequate example.
