How does Prison Gray Luthor count as getting it right the first time?

I guess I just ass-u-me'd. Maybe a white scientist smock thing? Anyone know?

Chad, who is that guy in the red armor ?

Crimson Dynamo.

I think the current CD is just too generic. Looks like every other armor-y character these days. Kind of blobby instead of slick and stream-lined. Same problem with Iron Man, to me.

Crimson Dynamo is a good pick. Once you start meddling with Armour types they too easily become generic, just as Chad says. Which reminds me of another character that was right in his first appearance but then turned into a 'could-be-anyone-mechanical-type:

you can put up a panel from Detective 27 and from an issue today and most anyone would be able to identify both panels as Batman.

------------------------------------------------------------ ------

If you put a panel of the original Daredevil alongside the new Daredevil most anyone would be able to identify them as the same character. Ditto the original Spider-Man and the black Spider-Man. It doesn't mean that their costumes haven't changed.

The original Darevdevil you recognise as a different costume. As I see it, it changed in two ways: colour and chest symbol. The Bat Costume changed in colour and chest symbol and the cape changed, the cowl changed, the gloves changed, the belt changed.

I see what you're saying, in that they're all variants of the one costume, but I think this sums up what I'm trying to say:

edited to add: that is, they are different (albeit similar) 'looks'. If the same artist was to draw one comic where Batman changed from looking like the first figure above in one panel to the third figure above in the next panel, you would assume that either the artist had made a mistake or that he had changed costume.

In Generations did Batman have the same costume in the 30s as the 60s?

oops, I am mistaken. I somehow missed it at first glance.

Peter, that's not Box's original color.

I know. The blue one was the original telepathically controlled one. The red one is the one Bochs 'phased into'. Did JB draw them any differently? I can't see it myself.
