    Discuss the new Batman that is featured starting Batman 41. Spoilers included.

    After Batman's apparent death after EndGame, Jim Gordon is now the new Batman, he wears a high tech suit of armor built by Powers Industries and unlike Bruce Wayne, he now operates within the system and while he is aware how crazy this idea really is (he coined the term Robobat-bunny) but tries his best to adapt to his new career. Discuss this drastic change to the status quo.

    The ears look stupid, and it feels too War Machine for my tastes. Don't get me wrong, I love War Machine, but I wouldn't want to see something like that in Gotham, at least not like this. But, I will say that Gordon as Batman is an interesting twist. I'd have just done it differently.

    As to the fact that Batman has sometimes been depicted wearing powered armor before, that's Bruce Wayne Batman. Bruce Wayne playing Iron Man is one thing, but Gordon doing it is something else.

    Overall, I'm gonna have to say this isn't a change I'm crazy about.

    I really liked it and I think it could be great (I don't really think that I am reading a Batman comics through).
