DC's Earth One

[knight errant00]

Whaddaya bet the emblem lights up and makes its own bat-signal?

I remember the Wizard suit and like it better -- I honestly always thought that was the look they should have gone for in Batman Begins and Dark Knight -- that suit looks like a guy cribbing stuff out of the basement of Waynetech . . .

The Superman's OK -- thankfully nothing radical, but nothing special about it either.

That Batman just looks off. What is it?

The belt is just wrong. Doesn't work for me.

the boots and gloves is where I agree with Paul Pope, they should look like what they are not socks.

HEY! He stole Judge Dredd's boots! (Revenge for getting beat up so bad in the last teamup?)

Hmm, looks a lot like this image from Wizard a while back.

I get the idea of trying to get these out to the bookstore crowd

Ya know the more I think about it......Isn't that what the trades are for? The bookstore crowd...?

[The Bat]

It's Geoff Johns and Gary Frank, so I'm definitely on board with the Earth 1 Batman.

Me too! This looks like it'll be an interesting read...too bad the Graphic Novels are only going to come out twice a year.

I don't think they look bad, but with DC rebooting continuity every two weeks, these come off as just another log in the fire. Remember Waid's Superman: Rebirth? What was the point of that? It went absolutely nowhere.

I don't care for Batman's costume much. I would have thought they would have taken the opportunity to rethink things more, or go straight back to the original, or at least an iconic look (ie a Neal Adams type Batman). This looks too much like a variant Batman action figure.

Do we really need yet another version/reboot of Superman?

I couldn't have put it any better.

Ultimates was not bad but dc is really late to this party

[The Toyroom]

^ You're right....everyone on the freakin' planet should know who Superman and Batman are already...really no need to give them further exposure.

[thunderbolt]

I get the idea of trying to get these out to the bookstore crowd, but howabout some heroes that no one knows in the non comics crowd even knows about? Since it appears Green Lantern is the next movie why not him? Get some exposure for some characters outside the big two.

Meh.

ANOTHER reboot....? Whatever. The only thing that really bothers me about this sort of thing is that it seems like they're trying to rehash the old stuff with slight prods to "modern" it all up. Like they're honestly admitting there are no more Batman stories to tell. (which is sad, 'cos there is....) Yeah; Alfred's gone all macho and Bats got a pulp-looking costume; but just HOW much of a dif does that all make? Once the stories get rolling it's gonna be the same old same old again.

The fact the outfit looks like it has a zipper on the pants section and you half expect Bruce's "Bat-Mite" to pop out by mistake.

I wonder what plans Johns/Frank have for The Joker?

I'll put money on it. I bet you they make him resemble the Heath Ledger screwy makeup, scarred lips look.
