UPDATE: Jim Lee Redesigns Every Major DC Character in Mass Reboot

Clear!

Revive!

Jim Lee makes all the new costumes wayyy to shiny with too many metallic pieces. he's trying way too hard to make them look "cool"
 some of the costumes look really bad like robin and superboy

They've ditched the Justice Society of America. No more JSA, no more Power Girl, and Hawkman and Mr Terrific no longer seem to have any association with the Golden Age. That's it for me. No more DC.

The renumbering is the only thing I'm not being able to get. Wonder Woman was renumbered to 600 recently, showcasing the total number of WW comics over the years. Batman, Superman, Action & Detective Comics have been running in their near 900s and even Adventure Comics is renumbered to 500 etc. Wouldn't it have made a lot more sense to renumber all the other titles according to continuity like GL or Flash. These titles have over 400 issues in their belt. JLA should have that amount too. 
 
Is it just me or does anyone else feel the same?

I dont know if it's been said, but this can simply be summed up easily.
 
If this turns out good, who will have made it work? Us. Not the theoretical swathes of fans D.C. think they'll get, but we all know they won't. When will they start making new fans put effort in to get into comics, instead of spoon feeding fans that don't even exist?
 
It's all good having a jump-on point, but if people have been to lazy to get into comics before, why would a jump-on point help? Jumping on at issue #1 is one thing, but staying on is another. If they're too lazy to get into existing comics, why would they put effort into this?
 
They should've just created an Ultimates line. Not everything needs a reboot. Frank Miller didn't reboot Daredevil, he simply wrote the shit out of that character and reDEFINED it in a way that lasted until Shadowland.

you know the more I look at Wonder Woman's new costume the more I like it.....should've just let it gone over it and let it sink in over time instead of acting on my initial reaction.

Batman looks like the All-Star Batman.....  
 Aqua Man looks the same to me.
Superman and Wonder Women look like they're 15...  
Cyborg..... uhhhhh still Cyborg haha 
Green Lantern at least doesn't have that cheesy suit from the movie. 
And Flash was the only descent one to me.

maybe if they didn't make a huge event every 5 seconds it would give new readers time to get into the stories and get everything strait up, but starting everything from the b egining is WTF !!! they can change the costumes thats not a probleme but start the stories from the begining???!!!!! 
anyways thats just my opinion 

I like the way all the characters look except for Cyborg. He still looks kind of stupid to me. But I hope they dont split up Superman and Lois. Have Wonder Woman with someone like Batman or Aquaman

i don't really care about wonder woman...flash, hal jordan, and aquaman look the same pretty much, superman new "s" and a collar? idk about that, cyborg actually looks way cooler than he ever has,batman i hope that's dick and not bruce because i love his new suit....all im worried about is them changing "too" much as long as batman inc. and dick, tim, damian are where they're at then im cool....i also just realized this could be there chance to finally give joker a true origin :D

Ya know what probably drove new readers away DC?!? Big-ass events every three months. Just saying...

This just seems like yet another DESPERATE attempt by DC to beat out MARVEL, and by the looks of this stuff, Marvel still doesnt have anything to worry about. 
DC needs to stop trying to make its characters look cooler, and make some interesting stories. 
Aside from BATMAN & SUPERGIRL, and a few others, lately it seems like most of DC's cast have the lamest stories going on. 
They shouldve just tried to keep JUSTICE LEAGUE (UNLIMITED) on tv.

In Gail Simone I trust

When I heard this during the last night of May I was in a mourning fuming process I'm still unsure about this but I just hope DC knows what they're doing with this decision.

OK I get the Relaunch and everything kind of like  a blank canvis to a painter , but how is this going to effect titles like Freedom Force  , Thunder Agent & Batman Inc. or is DC Comics feeling a knee jerk reaction , because of Marvel Comics "Do Over." and it's mild sucess with non-comic book readers , DC does not have to keep up with the Jones, because they are the Jones , if  a Reboot is need it let see some crossover JLA & Astro City  ,or  more WIld Cats , Mighty Crusaider , so my question is  what going to happen and is it going to be a good thing ?

Is there something so WRONG with Batman, Inc.   
 
I will hold a grudge if this adversely affects Morrison's title.

Now being a fan of the Justice League - I've grown up reading the various incarnations of the Justice League - YET - how can any artist justify such changes to characters? If you look at the art carefully - Batman has gauntlets with some type of cap over his knuckles. The utility belt has been slightly changed as well, yet it looks almost like the new design is going to somehow incorporate almost an armor type design almost like that of Batman Begins movie-Esq. Why? 
Superman not only in the image above do we see the briefs gone but, if you look carefully you'll also notice a disproportionate mid-section to lower section. Scrutinize it ! 
Then you have Green Lantern who on his shoulders appears to have some kind of armor on there - at least Jim Lee was being kind, and not making Green Lantern look like Ryan Reynolds. Which brings up a whole 'nother issue of the up coming Green Lantern movie. 
Cyborg - what's with the chin design? It's not too unusual that he gets a redesign, but still . . . 
Aquaman - back to the original design from the looks of things. Wonder Woman - it seems anyone who is considered an artist has the ability to redraw her due to their artistic interpretation. 
 Guns 'N' Roses said it best - What we have here is failure to communicate ! 
DC wants to be the "NEW" Marvel and trying to reach a new audience by alienating the old audience. 

Though I am excited to see how the comic book market works out with same day print and digital will work out, though having them as the same price would just be foolish.

First off let me say that comics change shit left and right, some times it's for the better sometimes it sucks.  But I do not trust this reboot.
A. The idea sounds like how comics changed in the 90's by adding new life into the comics by changing the image of the charters to breath more life in to them, than rather what has been going on in the past decade of breathing more life into the stories,
B. I do not trust Bob Harras .  When DC announced that he would be head editor, I was reminded of how he totalitarianism of  butchering the X-Men titles in the mid to late 90's and I feel that  is what is going on  here.
C. There have been some off the rocker changes in the DCU with Grant Morrison work, and the Light War. In my opinion those premises have not even been fully explored and it would be a crime not only to comics but to writing in general to not let those ideas be explored and to grow.

The new costumes look ok though i don't know why they have to #1 everything. That to me is very unnecessary.

Deathstroke, Shazam, Titans, & New Gods titles now please.

I guess they will be rebooting DC's universe every few years now, don't bother to Crisis it, just change for the sake of change, in the hope that it will draw new readers.

I just saw the link. Thanks. I f*cking love you for posting that. No homo.

@Static Shock: Captain Atom's getting a new series.

I wonder how this will affect the less-prominent characters in the DC universe (Captain Atom and the core JLI members, Static and the rest of the Milestone universe, the Great Ten, Shadowpact, etc....) 
 
After all, it seems as if the major characters are the only ones getting the reboot.

@ironshadow: 
How do you know that?

Its about time! those new suits look badass...

This is very big! I wonder how much they will change. I will like to see Wonder Woman and Superman together =)

Why? Theres already Wonder Girl and Super Boy.  

This is great and makes a great deal of sense. Hopefully it will make up for the void left by the disappointing Avengers relaunch.

Im going to be optimistic about this.  Im sure that Geoff and Jim know what they're doing.  I know that the internet is the land of snap judgements, that everyone is quick to deride it when the reboot isnt for another two months.  If I don't like it, then that will be that.  Im not going to say something like "WTF how can they do this to us, I'm dropping comics forever blah blah blah."  I can always buy trades of stories I do like, or find other things to read.  Its not the end of the world.  I like the current legion title, and if it ends I'll probably be upset, but I already have the first trade, I plan on buying the second one and the great darkness saga.  There is a plethora of back stuff for us if we can't get into the new stuff.
