Red Robin looks like the second Black Condor now.

Cosmic Boy's new look in Legion Lost is pretty brutal too.

And of course, Rob Liefield doing art on anything is pretty brutal.

Kalyx triaD 06-08-2011 02:03 PM

Actually Tim looks badass. Cassie, Connor, and Bart looks like assholes. Did they let Image Comics redesign them?

Static looks cool.

Fignuts 06-08-2011 02:16 PM

Cassie looks ok.

Never liked the whole "wings attached to arms" costume thing that some characters have had. Looks silly and impractical.

Liefeld? Really? Really?

Kalyx triaD 06-08-2011 07:04 PM

Maybe we'll get a katana wielding, gunning, version of Booster Gold.

Fignuts 06-08-2011 07:16 PM

With pouches. Don't forget the pouches.

Nowhere Man 06-09-2011 12:51 AM

Honest to God, how on Earth is Rob Liefeld still getting work?

Sixx 06-09-2011 01:00 AM

Rob Liefeld hates feet.

Lock Jaw 06-09-2011 12:39 PM

Few more titles: http://www.newsarama.com/comics/dcnu...ar-110609.html

Bunch of WildStorm guys coming over to DC looks like. Martian Manhunter shoehorned in with them instead of the Justice League.


I think with this latest batch... only 6 more books until we reach the "52". Really concerned for the Justice Society here.

Lock Jaw 06-09-2011 01:08 PM

And we haven't had the Superman books revealed yet. Probably take up at least 4 of the remaining 6.

Kalyx triaD 06-09-2011 03:03 PM

Grifter? Hmm...

Black Hawks needed a reboot, I guess. Wouldn't have thought 'GI Joe'.

Why does Slade have Batman elements in his design?

Lock Jaw 06-09-2011 03:08 PM

Cause it is the 90s all over again! Fins and jagged edges for everyone!

Lock Jaw 06-09-2011 03:09 PM

I wonder what this new Blackhawk series means for Lady Blackhawk. She was kinda Awesome in Birds of Prey.

Lock Jaw 06-09-2011 10:08 PM

Two new series were revealed. Blue Beetle and Suicide Squad.

Suicide Squad features more HORRIBLE redesigns:

SPOILER: show

King Shark, Harley Quinn, and Deadshot respectively.

McLegend 06-09-2011 10:10 PM

OMG

Who ever thought that was a good idea should probably be fired.

Nowhere Man 06-10-2011 01:44 AM

Jesus Christ.

This has the stink of Marvel's "Heroes Reborn" all over it.

Tell that slut to put on some clothes.

parkmania 06-10-2011 03:46 PM

Thought I read that DC was trying to make their women have more "realistic" costumes in order to A) appease/attract more female readers, and B) make the characters more mainstream marketable (see: Wonder Woman).

Someone should have told Harleen...

Nowhere Man 06-10-2011 06:22 PM

Seriously. You put pants on Wonder Woman because the classic one-piece isn't acceptable anymore, but then take Harley who's completely covered up in a full bodysuit, and then put her in a half-open corset and a pair of booty shorts?

Lock Jaw 06-10-2011 06:31 PM

Last four books revealed. As expected, they are Action Comics, Superman, Supergirl, and Superboy: http://www.newsarama.com/comics/dcnu...led-11010.html

Along with the horrible redesigns.

http://i.newsarama.com/images/superman-cover-1.jpg

Also, no Justice Society in this new DC Universe is really really crappy.

Kalyx triaD 06-10-2011 06:58 PM

Supergirl got the shaft. And if Super-Cyborg-Boy is Superboy who the hell is the kid rocking the House of El crest in the Teen Titans?

What the fuck is going on here?

Nowhere Man 06-10-2011 06:59 PM

I'm hoping that's just a bad job of inking, because it makes Superman's suit look like it's some high-tech/armored suit deal, and when he's already invincible, that's just.....kind of pointless. Also, that cover makes it look like he's wrecking up the place--so I guess Lex Luthor was right all along?

And we're back to making the Kryptonians a bunch of egotistical dick-wads who don't like humanity again, judging from the synopsis they've given of Supergirl. Between this and the New Krypton story from the soon-to-be-defunct continuity, I find myself feeling rather glad that their planet blew up.

Oh, and Superboy's apparently doing a Wolverine "superhuman weapon" thing now. Weapon-S, if you will.

Blegh.

Kalyx triaD 06-10-2011 07:00 PM

Why are they doing this again?

Kalyx triaD 06-10-2011 07:01 PM

I miss cheerleader Supergirl. :(

Superman's belt should be yellow ffs. The art's just bad but otherwise I don't mind the suit. Losing the trunks was something I looked forward to.

Nowhere Man 06-10-2011 07:09 PM

I actually like the trunks. Yes, they're outdated and everyone makes the joke about how he's wearing his underwear on the outside, but it at least breaks up all of the blue. Without them, the costume just looks really monotone, just lots of blue with red on the bottom and in the back (with the boots and cape I mean). The belt breaks it up a bit, but not very much.

To try and get attention from the mainstream media. Just like when they gave Wonder Woman her stupid 'mean streets' look, or when they turned Superman blue and gave him those retarded electrical powers. It's just a cheap and desperate attempt to get a spike in sales by appealing to the curiosity of non-fans, the people who don't even like their comics in the first fucking place.

Kalyx triaD 06-10-2011 07:20 PM

He's the Big Blue Boyscout, making that an ever more dominating color doesn't hurt in my eyes. He has to have the primary colors, make that belt yellow.

I was hoping DC would strap trunks universe wide over time, and I was happy when Bruce came back with none (only to give it right back to him).

Lock Jaw 06-10-2011 08:13 PM

Hmmm... just noticed something in the description: "This momentous first issue will set in motion the history of the DC Universe as Superman defends a world that doesn’t trust their first Super Hero."

Sooo... not only does the Justice Society not get a book in this new universe, they never existed?

Lock Jaw 06-10-2011 08:15 PM

Unless... Action Comics is set in the past. The cover he is in a different "costume".

Then it calls Superman #1 "The Man of Tomorrow, Today".

Dunno how that would work.

Kalyx triaD 06-10-2011 08:15 PM

I guess they wouldn't jive with DC's cross-media plans. The Superman book sounds like the story for the upcoming movie.

Fignuts 06-10-2011 08:20 PM

Still waiting for the punchline.

Lock Jaw 06-10-2011 08:49 PM

I think maybe six months into this they go "Surprise! This was all on another Earth(s)! Leading to our big crossover Multiverse event by Grant Morrison that will end up making very little sense!"

Honestly, that would not surprise me in the least. I can almost guaran-damn-tee you this shit will only last a year or so, until the novelty and shock value wear off and half of the new lineup tanks. Then DC will do another event with the 'triumphant return' of the classic DC Universe and set things back to where they were before the reboot.

dronepool 06-12-2011 04:41 PM

I guess I'll be good with Justice League and Action Comics. So far that's two DC books I should be getting.. but again I'm trying to avoid single comics... but I guess 2 books from DC should be fine.

I really need to rework my pull list and condense things to less comics and only get what excites me the most, not just get books cause I'm bored and heard the book is good...cause since ever since April... I been reading less and less and comics lay around while I go to work and then hang out somewhere.

Fignuts 06-13-2011 12:08 AM

Yeah, is this like a new coke thing or what?

Lock Jaw 06-14-2011 01:06 PM

On the subject of DC Movie News:

Clark and Lois.

Is that Amy Adams?
