Let's leave the real world out of the costumes 
Some interesting official comments regarding Batgirl from 2009. Like they said in Lost - everything changes!

It reminds me of the G.I. Joe Extreme toyline; where they all looked like steroid deformed wrestlers. |
I find it funny
oh thats just hilarious!
All those comments on the new Harley costume...but it just dawned on me.
Who can blame them? That Harley costume looks like half the costumes you see in use in CoH.
The cover to the "new" Action comics. Looks like Supes will be protecting "the Americian way" as well....

The NY Post also states that the DC Relaunch nullifies the issue of Superman renouncing his American citizenship. |
Just read that not only will Superman be single again in the reboot, Jonathan and Martha Kent will also be dead again.
Also, they will be emphasizing the "alien loner" factor in Superman again.
Man, everything old is new again ...
DC is going to collect all 52 #1 issues and release them in a MASSIVE hardcover collection in December 2011!
Quote:
JUSTICE LEAGUE #1 by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee
ACTION COMICS #1 by Grant Morrison and Rags Morales
BATMAN #1 by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo
GREEN LANTERN #1 by Geoff Johns and Doug Mahnke
SWAMP THING #1 by Scott Snyder and Yanick Paquette
STORMWATCH #1 by Paul Cornell and Miguel Sepulveda
TEEN TITANS #1 by Scott Lobdell and Brett Booth
And 45 more!
Go Team Venture!
I'm not happy about the Superman changes
heck I'm not happy about a lot of the changes
But I think I am still giving it a shot. Just 1 shot though. They get 1 issue to prove that this is worth doing

Since I pretty much gave up on Marvel some time ago, Power Girl and Batgirl have been the two comics that have kept me going back to the comic book shop. Both have been relatively self-contained books, without a lot of the Big Damn Deal crossover BS that I have come to absolutely HATE. I've been picking up Zatanna, Flash, JLA, and Journey Into Mystery (or Thor, or whatever the heck it is) as well, but without PG and Batgirl to anchor it all... meh.
Maybe I'm just getting too old for this.

This is obviously Bob Harras's work. Look how he screwed over Marvel and nearly destroyed it in the 1990's.
How may you ask? Fired his best writers off of the books they made popular i.e. Peter David from Hulk & Chris Claremont from X-Men.
He alienated his artists like Todd MacFarlane, Jim Lee, Erik Larsen, Rob Liefield (a hack but still) etc. Who then made Image in defiance.
He declared Only Spiderman and X-Books popular and let the Image Guys remove the Avengers etc out of the Marvel world into Image's new world.
Man let characters like Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Fantastic Four etc be someone else's work. They sold those characters.
And he wonders why he was fired for nearly destroying the company when ToyBiz bought it. Which saved Marvel from becoming non existent.
But Hey WB hires him to run DC because he did a great job at Marvel...
This does not surprise me.
Now how they do the digital comics I like. Better than Marvel's.

Ok, so I haven't been paying too much attention to this (partly because it irritates me), but is this going to be an "Age of Apocalype"-type of thing that will be undone in a year?
I really can't stand some of the changes I have read about. It really blow my mind that no matter how many times fans will rise up and rage against reboots/ rewrites, they still think "this time they'll love the changes we have in store!"

Of course this might go all the way around, but all we can see so far is the front... |
