I actually like red Beast Boy, since there's "The Red" for animals and "The Green" for plants. Makes sense he'd be red, even if it would never actually stick.

And honestly jeans-and-boots Superman is a GOAT costume for him, didn't last nearly long enough and the DC You version wasn't nearly as good.

New 52 Red Robin is a LITTLE overdesigned, but I like the overall spirit. Definitely an upper-tier Tim Drake outfit.

Yeah I liked the more tactical look for Tim. But maybe keep the red, yellow, and green color scheme.

Besides maybe the stuff on the legs, I like this. Definitely better than him still just being Robin.

I also like trucker hat Roy Harper. He looks like a douchebag, but he is kind of a douchebag, so it works!

Bane looked legit as fuck in New 52 because they gave him his Nolan design, which was already great, but kept his traditional mask:

New 52 dropped the ball a lot. It wasn't long before everybody knew the runs were not going to survive a lot of issues.

I didn't mind the look. Superman in jeans was really the only character I didn't like, but I never liked Superman anyway.

New 52 had way too many "different for the sake of being different" designs.

Like Reverse Flash:

Short sleeve Supes looks great. There was a Jim Lee redesign in Wizard years (decades) ago with short sleeves, hold on, found it. Wish this wouldve been used.

With the New 52, they introduced the idea of animals having a similar magic and sentient element as plants did in Swamp Thing. The Red was the counterpart of The Green for animals, and Beast Boy was an avatar of The Red as Swamp Thing was for The Green

Amazing book. I'm not sure why people automatically hate on N52. Good writers are still going to put out great books regardless of it being a relaunch.

New 52 is when I read comics for the first time. I went all in on one specific storyline! The Rotworld saga. Went through a lot of Animal Man and Swamp Thing,with some Frankenstein. Also started to read a series that was about a group with Etrigan, Vandal Savage and other characters, it was some sort of medieval themed group!

Raven redesign as a slightly more demonic look was perfect but GOD FORBID you don't make teen titans characters resemble the looks they had in the one famous cartoon.

You know Firestorm somehow squeaks by whenever we talk about characters whose job is to job.

All of those are terrible except for the T-Shirt Superman look, and that didn't really even pay off until he comes back with the beard at the end of Future's End to fight Braniac.

Just wait until cartoon Starfire reads Red Hood and the Outlaws...

I also didn't really understand what they were doing with Supergirl. Not only did they completely revamp the character, but they replaced the skirt with... a diaper?
