The logo on the belt seems to be all the rage these days, the "new" Batman
has it, and now Wonder Woman has the "WW" as a belt as well as her
breastplate.
It's baffling that DC just sort of lets whichever artist do whatever they want
in terms of costume elements. Half the time you see Superman with the
traditional belt, the other half with the little S-Shield. It creeped in when
Kubert did the art with Richard Donner in Action Comics.

Does anybody else have the feeling that DC has been killing these characters for the last couple of years JUST so they can be used in "Blackest Night?" I know the story was originally supposed to be another Green Lantern storyline, but it got morphed into this company-wide thing. I wonder exactly when this change took place and how much of the last couple of years' events went into building up into this one.

I would be totally blown away to discover anyone at DC was planning that
far ahead!

-----------------------------
Company policy? Doubtful. Was Geoff Johns, who says he's been planning this story for years now, killing off some of the characters who he's responsible for killing in order to use them? I could see that.
But, I mean, they're bringing back a few folks JB killed (Donna's family, for example), and I know JB wasn't setting up for Blackest Night.

Anyone who's ever read a novel should be well aware of this after "seeing" the movie version. This should be obvious, unless they're illiterate.

Okay, how do you feel about bunny ears?

That's why I said "the past couple of years."

My bad. Hard to believe JB's WW run was a decade ago.

You are honestly comparing the change of a circle belt buckle to an S belt buckle with the addition of bunny ears??
Come back when you can provide a relevant comparison, please. Otherwise, I still don't see the problem.

Well, we had already established that you didn't see anything sacrosanct about one of the most iconic costumes in comics. I was just trying to see if you were an utter loon.
