I would take the 90s designs coming back if it would allow me to get more Jean Paul Valley.

Personally?

Snyder's Batman has been consistently great

Lemire's Green Arrow run, while short, was the best run GA had since Grell couple decades ago.

With Gotham by Midnight they've finally found a way to make a story about Spectre that's not just works, but actually doesn't retread previous works.

Same thing with Grayson, great story, very fresh take on the character

Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Swamp Thing got long quality runs under New 52.

New 52 also brought a lot of quirky fresh comics, like Harley, Gotham Academy and Batgirl.

I also quite enjoyed Justice League Dark.

For me that's it. But I'm sure there's more

In addition Forever Evil was excellent,

I, Vampire

Dial H

Curse of Shazam was great after they messed the character up in Trials of Shazam.

B&R by Tomasi

Grant Morrison's action comics.

Seems to be universal acclaim for Batwoman and Hell Knights.

Earth 2 was pretty solid for 15 issues then got a bit inconsistent.

I like John's JLA but it does have a slow start, but after and including Throne of Atlantis it is better. Vibe, Superman unchained, John's arc in Superman are good as well.

Only Luthor I acknowledge.
...and that's just terrible.

I agree new 52 has some good stories and was actually in support of a reboot. However how are Harley and Batgirl fresh?? They both had quirky series before new 52 and Bryan Q Millers Batgirl was so good that it was a crime it had to be cut short.

Well, when I think of 'bald white dude in a suit' I think of Lex Luthor. Who comes to your mind?

Hundreds and hundreds of pop culture icons? I'm not saying that isn't his definitive look, mind you, I'm just saying I think it's silly that the look most emblematic to him is one that's so homogenous.

Bring a whole new meaning to the phrase "Grab dem cakes".

Okay, then outside of Lex, and Statham who else?

canon

 

[Zubz]

What is this, 1995?

 

[User 479360]

Is that Paul Shaffer?

Hahaha...I guess he decided it was time for a new gig after the conclusion of Letterman's tenure.

But, seriously: What year are we in? This looks like something from 1999-2002. It's awful.

 

[Wag]

canon

Isnt that from Superman:Secret Origin which is no longer canon? Or I guess Post-Convergence COULD be on some other world

 

[NEO0MJ]

No he looked the same in Justice League. It's the same animated continuity.

Hmm. I don't know why I thought it changed. Need to check that show again, it's been ages.

He is white in the cartoon. There's more than 1 shade of white you know

Oh, I know.

 

[MisterHero]

he looks like that doctor from all-star superman

that makes no sense at all

 

[Slayven]

Dick Grayson: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

I see what you did there

 

[Rest]

Why is he on floating disk like Static?

Reboot Batgirl is awful.

New 52 Action Comics is flat out my favorite Superman.

I'd probably agree just on the design, though I think it's better with the beard.

 

[Voror]

Didn't Greg Pak do a run on Action that was actually pretty good?

 

[The Adder]

These don't look the same.

One is eccentric. One is douchey.

They're the same damn costume, one just has muted colors and stupid gloves.

 

[ReiGun]

He's still writing Action and, dumb ass Doomsday crossover aside, it's still great.

Best design.

 

[The One and Done™]

Businessman Lex Luthor is what he SHOULD look like.

The Animated series and 80s-90s comics got it 100% right

this is Lex:

Why fuck with such an iconic look?

I wouldn't say his look is iconic.

 

[Voror]

Yeah, I'd heard that was a rough spot. I swear crossover events are often more trouble than they're worth.

Why does Superman need a cape in the modern era again?

Why does Superman need a cape in the modern era again?

He's the superhero archetype, if anyone should be allowed to wear the cape, it's him.
