what's going on with Superman's costume? Jim Lee still drew him with trunks...just trunks that match his bottoms? and the gauntlets on the sleeves don't match the top of the boots.
the collar is gone, which is great, but everything else doesn't match. might as well give him two different colored boots. maybe one glove.

the best redesigned Batman Costume was Volume 1 of Grant Morrison's Batman Incorporated.

Uh, the others two have already been close for years now.

If Anything, both Batman and Superman are moving away from that.

Wonder Woman's look is from JL:Darkseid War and I imagine it is inspired by the movie costume.

I maintain Simon Baz can be a good character - it's just that nobody has managed to do it yet.

Can't be that difficult to make him more interesting than Hal Jordan.
 
So the new Superman is the pre-52 Superman? I guess this means the new 52 Superman dies? Or is he still around and doing his own thing?

No, no, Clark White's been around a while now. The 'new' Superman is Lex Luthor, whilst the current Superman is still around.

There is however also going to be a Chinese Superman, based out of Shanghai.

I suspect this is going to be one of the more confusing points of Rebirth.

Yeah, idk what's up with Supes' new look. I kind of want to say the trunks are incidental.

I meant the Superman in the costume. The way they were talking about him, it sounds like it is Clark White in the new costume. The cover of Super Sons seems to suggest this as well. But who knows?

Oh right. Yeah, that's a fair point - but it sounded like they're gonna have all three 'Supermen' (bar Kenji) in Metropolis, so I'm not entirely sure either.

what they did with Batman's new trunks, they should have done to Superman's, and make them red. You need the red to break up the costume, because batman has that huge utility belt, and it does just that. Superman has a flimsy belt, so he needs more red.

I never understood why they messed with something that really was't a problem. Kingdom Come Superman looks aces. Grant's and Rag's Superman from Action, worked really well.
And I'm afraid that the only reason why his costume isn't jarring, is only because Jim Lee drew a nice spread. What happens when you get a less talented artist like Brett Booth?

The only guy that does the best redesigns is Alex Ross. At one point, I had a problem with his Winter Soldier Cap suit, but it grew on me.
 
What if morrison is on JLA and they basically recreate that lineup, Wally coming out of Rebirth and Kyle back on the team as a GL, MMH as well.

I can't imagine them kicking Cyborg out but I think Johns will take Shazam off now that he isn't writing him.

Superman's costume doesn't necessarily need more red to break up the design. It needs different colored boots. If they don't want red boots, they could have gone with metallic blue boots to compliment the cuffs on the costume.

The DCU looks less Iconic with every revamp.
Stripping away things that work.

See Marvel can change because their world has always been grounded in reality (the streets of NY, the issue of race etc).
The DCU is fantasy, sci fi. I don't know man, let's hope they get it right this time.

I disagree, if you don't do red trunks, then you need something Red around the waist that's thicker. He is an Alien, with an Alien costume, why try to make sense of it... Just create something asthetically pleasing.

There's a new Deathstroke costume? If they still haven't wised up and flat-out copied the Arkham Origins armour then I just don't care.
 
DC you really could have given us Wally, mang.

Hey you're getting Wally in like at least 2 books bro.

Both of these are fine.

The suit with the full mask is her worst and I am disappointed that they took cues from that.

I really like that suit, it's weirdly expressive and suits her pretty well.

Wait what? They're bringing back Pre-New52 stuff?

They already did, Pre-Flashpoint Clark & Lois have been around since Convergence.


You just got this explained to you, lol.

The classic Superman suit has too much red in it, I've always wanted the cape to pop more. I like the cuffs idea.

I think DC's major mistake was bringing back the silver age, and not progressing forward. I loved Hal and Barry, but we already had Wally and Kyle (and I despise Kyle)... And we then had Bart. The whole purpose of the Multiversity was to have your cake and eat it. Now we're having the same dish over and over again. What happened to lineage, passing down the mantle?
