DD's new look. I don't care for it, mainly because of those sneakers.

Lol, what a horrible design. Looks like Rockslide had a secondary mutation or something. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. What's wrong with this design:

Doomsday's design was slick as hell. He was up there with Juggs in terms of my favorite brick design.

Why would they change him to a character who likely says "radical" after he beats up "bad dudes". Hope this goes the way of Power Girl where he undergoes a costume change... that changes the way he looks entirely.

The guy had stones over his eyes with a ponytail, and bony elbows, random spaced jagged teeth, bony knees, and a back. That's pretty rad.

And he's looked the same ever since then...

Way more alien than this Doomsday. Who I imagine has the pre puberty boy voice. He probably just wants some ice cream but no one will sell him it

I'm talking purely about the green boiler suit and boots, not the actual design or physique of the character's physiology. that, I prefer to the new one, obviously.

who wouldn't?

Frankly, it's been a couple years since the entire multiverse has been rebooted. Clearly DC is due for this long-needed change.

New boots, no dick compression shorts, and one of those hyper gay abdominal shapers for men don't make one look more alien than kickass green boots and some out of this world bulgeshorts.

This is basically new DD's costume, but without the unnecessary bulge:

Although it sounded like you liked the whole design better.

Eww...

Powergirl's costume change was elicited in part due to her previous costume getting torn up in every issue of WF for fanservice purposes. I doubt that fanservice will be used as a means to catapult Doomsday back to his original costume. Unless they're aiming the comic at girls with some weird fetish for huge behemoths with bone-covered hides.

DC just wanted their answer to Ben Grimm.

Tom Taylor to write Earth 2 now. The mind behind Injustice: Gods Among Us.

Never read Injustice, but hear good things.

New GL event? Lights Out.

New WW/Superman series? :/

Old Doomsday looked like Kimbo Slice.

More WW exposure is cool. And heck, if this ongoing helps develop the relationship even more, I'm all for it (even though I don't ship Kal/Diana, I'd at least rather have the relationship be fleshed out and built upon so it means something instead of it just being "lets put them together because it seems like a no-brainer"😉.

I think its only logical to do a buddy book with them while they are togethe, before they inevitably fold so Kal can be castrated by Lois.

My hope is that they don't build stupid angst with it, and they put a good WW writer on it.

A lot of Superman/JL titles announced. DC is definitely looking for more books like this to amp up their sales.

Future! GL looks like Ragman.
