Well unpopular though it may be, I agree..
I would have like to have had it in a better format, but I detest the re-colouring.
The old style may have dated it to that Watchmen era, but I always thought that was part of what made the artwork so classic..
Although what annoys me most, (And I get really, irrationally upset about this..)is the removing of the yellow oval around the bat on Bruce's chest!
Partly because I've always rather liked the reasoning from Frank Miller's line in DKR...About bats doing that deliberately to make it a target where he could armour up, and distract a gunmans attention from trying to shoot him in the face. And I kind of like the look of it..
But also in this instance, I really didn't see the need. As Barbara's shooting places it frimly in that era, when he would have been wearing that in every issue, not to mention that he didn't even re-draw it to look like the current bat emblem..Just removed the yellow..
