Is That Batman With a Gun? "Huge" Comic Changes Coming

[Auberon]

British wave was talented, but number of them have branched off from comics alone. Guys like Snyder are presumably "good enough" that they don't need to be fired and also content to work on capes. If you want Gaiman, Ellis or Carey... I don't think big two are willing to adapt their tried-and-true formula for their styles, not to mention extended runs.

True, it's not as blatantly offensive as the Batman costume but how the hell can anyone look at Wonderwoman's new costume and think it's an improvement in any way over the last one?

Personally I'm not a fan of the Wonder Knickers. So yeah, big improvement.

I... I can't judge, I have no context! Who is that in the suit? Why was the suit created? Why does it have a gun? Why the police lights? What's up with the Playboy Bunny ears? Was the designer horny whilst doing this? Far too many questions with no answers for me to decide whether or not this is a Batman abomination. On the subject of the suits appearance, I like what I see. Even the bunny ears. It looks pretty damn cool to me. I'd never want Batman to wear it, but I still like it.

It's Captain Wonder Woman! The embodiment of American values and ethics! Strong, intelligent, and beautiful, Captain Wonder Woman vanquishes all foes with her amazing powers fueled by patriotism and Christian faith! All jokes aside I do like the costume. It has struck me as odd that Wonder Woman, daughter of a Greek goddess that hails from Themyscira, wears the American flag. Still, it's okay. Honestly, I prefer this fan art.

Aside from the short hair, she looks great. All warrior, no American patriotism. The scan posted by Mana Fiend is also amazing.

Superman... sigh. No context though, so I'll hold back.

There's also new Flash, Green Arrow, and Green Lantern costumes:

Nothing horrible, though I don't think that is Barry Allen. He looks a bit darker, like Wally. Green Arrow's change isn't all that big. He's still pretty much the same, though I do prefer the old costume. Green Lantern's is... I love it. Especially when one takes the context into consideration. I approve. It's a shame that the change definitely isn't permanent.

In all honestly I never really kept track of Batman's comics. What few issues I read were back when that mute Batgirl thing going on (yeah, it's been awhile) otherwise I enjoyed his parts in the JLA. Still I think he's a cool character. He's rich, smart, and talented. All enviable traits. Still there's something noble about him. While everyone calls Superman a boyscout, you'll have to admit Bats has his since of justice and truth. Sure his methods aren't always pure, but his intentions are ultimately good. I figured the one of the reasons he opted to not use guns was that it was too easy and very dangerous. Point, click, and you send a piece of metal at high speeds at or through a person. You hit an organ and the person can take a dirt nap. Maybe the bullet hits a bone and ricochets. Or perhaps a bullet misses it's mark and hits a bystander. Batman has an assortment of weapons he uses and most are non-lethal. If he went the gun route he's just be DC's version of Punisher.

Batman looks like Kamen Rider
Superman looks like a dude bro
Wonder Woman... she is now every SJW's dream. Fully covered except for the face and hands

So we have Appleseed Batman, Fem-Shep Wonder Woman with her Omni-Blades, and Super Frump wearing his SAE Frat T.

batman as a robot with a gun...why?
-sigh-
I get the idea they may want to go some different route with the character and push boundries and all, but honestly, I can only see the return of the "edgy" grimdark "not your daddy's super hero" bullshit in this sort of thing. Between this and various issues DC been having since the new 52 and before, I really have nothing but low expectations on this as another attempt to garner attention by being controversial with a character property over any sort of exploration of the character, the concept, or the tropes. This seems as interesting to me as Liefeld crap from the 90's.
