How do you feel about drastic redesigns of characters?
Id honestly like to see a batman story where batman looks more like pic related without it being automatically treated as some super gimmicky elseworld experiment. Cape characters are at their best when you let a competent writer and an artist do their unique, one off take on something in its own continuity.

Why would batman wear a duster on top of his regular costume?
Dominic Cruz
Cause people like the street clothes look for reasons, usually bad taste.
Dylan Jenkins
Not necessarily a duster. Batman with a longcoat instead of a cape is an interesting idea though. He is a detective afterall
Connor Foster
While it might be a weird choice to have batman be a man suffering encephalitis, I'll allow it.
Hunter Gomez
The issue I have with that idea is that if you drop the cape, you drop the bat wings imagery. That accounts for like seventy percent of the bat design, if you switch it for a longcoat he's not Batman anymore he's BDSM Elf Man
Cameron Morales
God. This costume. The palette. I could stare at this image for hours. I still can't believe we finally got him, lads. The Batman. Our Batman.

Superman is literally made for 5 year olds. The mistake is that manchildren couldnt let go so they kept making him darker to go with it.
Cooper Morgan
The funny thing is that I'm 1000% positive that the thing you think Superman is missing is his red shorts. lol

All comics were made for kids. You know this, right? That doesn't meant that they're still exclusively for kids.
Jack Ross
so he can more easily get heatstroke

Think about it: more pockets. You know, for storing bat-goggles and shit.
Gavin Lopez
See More pockets mean he can carry more heatstroke repellent.
Isaiah Ortiz
Dunno about most redesigns, but I gotta admit that I loved Batman in a duster.
Hunter Johnson

Bat-heatstroke-repellent.
Liam Bailey
Nah gimmicky elseworlds are the best
allows for freedom of writing and design.
Aaron Roberts
This. I would love a Mad Max-esque comic where superheroes become wandering vigilantes and shit.
Cameron Sullivan
Isn't e2 Dick's costume a trench coat-type deal?
Adam Nelson
What are some of the best DC/Marvel elseworlds stories?
Joshua Morgan
First things first, it has to look good. Second things second, it has to fit the character. Then you can break off into politics or whatever about what certain redesigns say about characters.
Batman probably could do with a long coat and not really break this character type but people would probably be disappointed that he'd become even less Superhero-y.
Eli Barnes
because they're badass, bro
Jaxon Scott
I really need more Adult Damian.
Kayden Bailey
FUND IT

That coat probably shouldn't have made me laugh as much as it did. It reminds me when they put the gigantic coat on Raph in the first Ninja Turtles movie, which probably shouldn't be my point of comparison for your super badass 2cool4school karate fight with Batman.
