One thing that has really annoyed me since the return of Bruce Wayne is that his classic costume has been given to Dick Grayson, while he is given a new suit.
Batman
Character » Batman appears in 23535 issues.
Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on the fears of criminals, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.
Why Should Bruce's Costume Change?

I might even argue that the yellow symbol is more iconic since it's been around since the Adam West stuff, they only had him go back to the black bat on gray suit (original original) fairly recently. The new outfit is really what I linked with some extra gadgets, a re-color, and ya know generally modernized all around. I'm not really sure what you're complaining about man.
I ll be honest with you, i dont like the idea of Dick Grayson as Batman. But theres nothing i can do about that except talk about it. And seeing Bruce wearing a different suit while dick stays in the old one is a bit much for me. I know its not THAT different, but its the little things that count to me. If you think im nitpicking, then i have to agree with you. But it just seems a bit insulting to the characters history to me.
No man its nothing to do with the symbol, you misunderstand me. I like the yellow. Its the design of the costume, the lines, the lack of trunks,the new gauntlets. Things that were not on the original suit.
@War Killer: it is cool, but its not the classic suit. It amkes sense theyd change it for a movie, but not for Dick Grayson. And In changing bruces costume and leaving grayson in the old one, it makes it look like bruce is the imposter, instead of the other way around.Not really. Things, even the most classic of things change over time. How does it make Bruce look like an imposter? Even if Dick didn't continue to be Batman, Bruce would still be wearing the new costume and it wouldn't make him different.
I believe when it was announced that both Bruce and Dick were going to be Batman, everyone pretty much said it would scar even more of the criminals of Gotham. Think about it, Bruce busts up a gang over here and all the way over on the other side of Gotham, Dick takes down Two-Face and the villains are freaked out cause "Batman is everywhere". Also, it's Batman, do you really think he's going to care if people think he's an imposter or not?
Also, Gordan has seen both Dick and Bruce at the same time and isn't bothered by it, so has Nightrunner. With Batman Inc., people are realizing that they're going to be seeing more "Batmen" hanging around, so I don't think people are going to be thinking he's an imposter...plus what's to say they wouldn't think Bruce was the "real" Batman and that Dick was the "impostor"? GCPD already knew that Dick wasn't the original Batman, nor that Damian was the original Robin.
I like Bruce's current costume better then I like the other. Bruce's costume looks like better to me. I think the lines on the sides of it makes it look more real and something that someone who was going to go fight people would wear.
