What's new about Superman, GL or Aquaman's costume?

GL and Aquaman's are basically the same, Superman has a different collar and the 'S' looks different.

Really? I can't see Johns allowing all of his additions to the GL mythos being thrown out, especially since they're in the middle of a crossover which is changing the shape of the Corps, will all that be swept under the table? Will Grant Morrison's plans for Batman?

I would assume that they'll just pick and choose what they want to keep and piss all over everything that wasn't in the comics of their childhood.

You know, the same standard DC policy they've been working under for the past 7 years.

That may just be an old image related to JMS' Wonder Woman. Although it does look like they got rid of Supes' red undies. That'd be an improvement at least...

Wow.

I apologize to Rich Johnston and to everyone who I mocked last week when this story broke.

Complete reboot. Dang.

So then this

Lee spearheaded the redesign of more than 50 costumes to make characters more identifiable and accessible to comic fans new and old

was him sitting on his ass and playing more X-Box. :roll:

I haven't looked at the designs yet but I think it's impossible to make Superman look worse.

Oh wait, I just remembered that Tim Burton concept thing... :lol:

But Batman, Inc only just started!

Ugh.

I wonder how this will mess with things like Xombi.

Or did Dan, Geoff, Jim, and their 500 other executives in charge forget about that book? :roll:

To be fair, 80% of what Johnston posts is bullshit, and even when he's right he deserves mocking.

I figured between the Colored Lantern Corps and the League of Batman, there wouldn't be a chance of this happening at all, to be honest.

I figured soft reboot similar to OYL was the worst that was going to come out of this.

That's being fair? :lol:

Rich is successful and sometimes witty, we've got plenty of posters here who 100% of what they post is bullshit and who are never right!

PS Bleeding Cool predicts a new Adventure Comics #1 starring Deadman.

I think this is DC's big push. We'll see.
