Twenty-seven and the year 1939 have been pretty prominent throughout my run. Gordon is Captain of the 27th Precinct in Gotham, The Roman's Holiday Massacre took place in 1939, and I'm sure some other examples are in there that I'm forgetting. Let it never be said that I don't lay it on thick.

@Master Bruce

I've caught most of the references but since this one was pretty spelled out I had to make a comment.

Honestly, of everyone's posts, yours tend to be the most fun to hunt for Easter Eggs.

@Byrd Man Not a fan of Hush?

@Master Bruce

I see what you did there.

Too start my own discussion, who is your favourtie underrated villain? Someone that never really grows (but has the potential to do so), or someone that just gets isnta-knocked out. Why are they you're favourite?

@Sep

Dr. Thomas Elliot aka Hush.

I feel as though more than any of Batman's rogues, Hush has the explicit opportunity to be Batman's Mirror Universe Counterpart. Bruce's parents were murdered, Thomas murdered his parents. Thomas was jealous of Bruce's seemingly carefree life while forced to go to school after school to pursue a medical degree while Bruce was free to travel the world. I just feel that beyond his introductory arc, Hush has never been made a legitimate threat again despite this being a man who was able to cut out Selina's heart and keep her alive or perform open heart surgery on himself. Not to mention making his face look identical to that of Bruce's.

Elliot is able to physically go toe to toe with Bruce and given his knowledge of the human body should be able to target vulnerabilities with surgical precision. He's a master strategist and during the pair's childhood, Thomas always beat Bruce at their 'friendly' games of chess.

I would just love to see Hush rise to the same notoriety as Joker, Two-Face, Riddler etc especially because I think Hush is far more of a threat than a lot of Batman's 'A-List Rogues'.

Liking for Bermejo. I fucking love that look and wish more artists would adopt it.

@Master Bruce

Also love what we saw of this suit in the 'Crossfire' segment of Batman: Gotham Knight.

I'm not going to list all my favorites because I'm too lazy to hop onto my laptop and because the majority of them have been covered so here's two that I haven't seen referenced yet.

Batman

For Batman, I have always loved Lee Bermejo's take on the suit in Joker and Batman: Noel. The rendering of it by Jim Lee however made me fall in love with it all over again.

Dick Grayson

I think Young Justice did a better job of modernizing the Robin suit than the comics have so for Dick Grayson as Robin this is definitely my pick.



This was hard because I love the classic Black and Blue, the DCAU and the Rebirth costumes. But honestly once you recolor the second Nightwing suit from the New52 to blue instead of red it is pretty tight in my opinion. Plus it retains the finger stripes which are by far the most important aspect of the suit :P.



I love this Earth-2 Dickbats because it so obviously homages the Disco Nightwing suit while still being obviously Batman. It does things differently too from a lot of other Batsuits and most importantly it's one of the few times where it's not Dick standing in for Bruce but rather a version of Dick who is free to carve his own identity beneath the cowl.

There were a few Rebirth costumes that I liked-- Superman finally had a version of the no-trunks look that I could get behind before they put the trunks back on him, Supergirl's previous costume was a perfectly good classic-style outfit, Jon's costume is a great fit for a Superboy-in-training, I liked that they just went ahead and made Wonder Woman's movie outfit her official costume since I thought that was a great compromise between the old one-piece bathing suit and all the different sets of over-designed battle armor they keep slapping on her, Starfire and Raven no longer look completely ridiculous.......

....and that's about it.

@AndyC

Not a fan of Raven's particularly, nor Starfire's. Both aren't terrible, but I like the previous iteration of Starfire's costume more, the one from her solo series. Raven's best costume is arguably her animated costume I think.

CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

Honestly Rebirth as a whole has been pretty iffy on new costumes. I am not a fan of Batman's current costume (Although he's apparently going to the Jim Lee Hush style look again) and Barbara's up coming costume just seems like a step down to me from her Burnside attire.

Edit: Oh and then there's Jason...

CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

...what am I looking at?

@Hound55

What's surely going to make the top five on a list of Supergirl's worst costumes.

I hope you are happy @Lord Wraith I posted to participate.

God.

You're so needy.

@Sep

So resentful.
