    It started with Hitch, but it looks like everyone is trying to capture the look of Motorcycle Leathers.



    or ski racing suits


    JMS and Gary Frank did it with Supreme Powers as well.

    I really don't understand the need to "modernize" the look of these costumes and make them realistic and functional...it is after all STILL a guy wearing a cape and a bat-mask with pointy ears

    I think the Earth-One graphic novels are still a "go"

    I can live with the cover, but that costume does indeed suck

    Which in and of itself looked like a far-less-cool version of Wizard's Ultimate DC Batman:



    Actually, the idea sounds to me like a way to let whatever artist do whatever take on the costume and keep it all in-continuity -- and form the basis of a whole line of DC Direct Batman figures.

    And maybe one of you hipper graphic arts -types can explain to me the current comic artists' obsession with seams in these costume redesigns . . .

    Yeah that's not really doing it for me either, kind of looks "unbatman like"

    You know how the Red Son Batman has a fur hat with bat ears?


    I'm hoping they introduce a Canadian Batman with a bat-eared toque with two little pom poms on top. Or a Hockey Helmet with bat ears. or both.

    Of course we know Morrison's already been mining some pretty interesting stuff from the Batman history.



    There are already a dozen Batman related titles, I guess this is a way of giving them some kind of Umbrella with Bruce officially in charge of them all.

    It's kind of a neat idea, but it's something that would work better as an Elseworlds.

    Is DiDio trying to make a Batman Corps since GL is so hot?

    started a topic Batman Inc

    Batman Inc

    I'm surprised that this hasn't been a topic of conversation since they announced it a while back.

    It's the new Batman series coming up following the Return of Bruce Wayne.

    He's going to be going around the world recruiting a franchised army of Batmen. So it looks like Dick and Damien stay in the role of Batman and Robin in Gotham. This would explain the upcoming Knight and Squire mini as well`.

    Although I'm sure the execution of the idea is different, it is funny how this kind of continues the parallels with Captain America. Bruce stepping back and taking a more supervisory role like Steve Rogers did a few months back.

    and the yellow oval is back as well.
