As if comic books needed another era to look back with shame at.

They're trying to draw in a younger crowd. Just like every other mode of entertainment. I can't say that I blame them. I'm sure there's some statistic that teens now outnumber adults 3:1 or something. If they don't try to stay relevant with the current generation then they won't stick around to see the next one.

Not that I like it. I say don't fix what ain't broke... but it's not up to us.

Sure, but there's more than one way to fix that problem, and mimicking the popular kids usually doesn't work.

I...what. If they are trying to appeal to the comic book crowd, putting in HIPSTERS is not going to do that. If they are appealing to the hipster crowd....well, why? I won't pretend I'm a comic book fan or anything like that, but the last thing we need is another area of classic pop culture for hipsters to act like they're actually fans of. They already stole Mario, Pokemon and every cartoon series I've ever grown up with. Fuck you, hipsters.

edit: and by Pokemon I mean LOL THE ORIGINAL 151 DO YOU REMEMBER THAT CARTOON MAAAAN GOTTA CATCH EM ALL LOL
and by Mario I mean SMB1, sometimes 3. Whichever makes you look more like a retro doucher.

It'll be wiped away like the infamous 'Mod' era revamps, IMO.

Well, DC Comics rewrites their continuity constantly, so pretty much everything is going to get wiped away at some point

Urrrrgh, you had to remind me of the reason I stopped using Tumblr in earnest. I mean, I'm not the type to be overly elitist, but their shit is just incredibly fucking stupid. Fucking hipsters.

To be fair, Wonder Woman has had a ton of redesigns over the ages

And remember Superman's mullet?
