Comics cost too much and change too much to be worth purchasing. I'll read up on the characters because I enjoy them in other media and the very few cape comics I do read (Justice League 3000 and Injustice). But that doesn't mean I want to subscribe to a dozen different series.
I'll read special issues like Red Son, but it isn't worth it to invest in multiple running series.

That's the spirit
I think my biggest problem is that it feels like they're trying to make Superman look tough and mean.
Superman should be smiles and happy, not grimacing and looking menacing.
I'm reminded of Grant Morrison explaining the cover of All-Star Superman 1, where he talks about how if there really was this guy who was that powerful, wouldn't he just be relaxed most of the time, simply because very little to nothing could hurt him?

both are ugly as hell.
One of the best things about new 52's WW is the change of gold to Silver in her costume and now they are returning it.

Be glad it is just their costumes, they could be shitting away a great character
Barbara Batgirl was never a great character. Bara-phanie Hipster-Batgirl is even worse. Joker needs to cripple her again.
His tobacco chew is grown on Thanagar.
I was talking about the devolution of Barbara from Oracle to Ingstagramgirl

Wonder Woman looks very 90s with those blades. The rest of her outfit however screams "look how politically correct we are! we are not exploiting our female heroes!". However, I like that design overall.
Supes looks...interesting to put it that way. I just don't see the need to redesign everyone again after they did just that a few years back for New 52. And if you have designs like these (and the Donnie Darko Batman from a few days ago) that are so far removed from the iconic look of these established characters, everyone knows that these will not last. By the time the next movie comes around everything will change back to a new status quo. To me this seems like the beginning of the 90s again with stuff like Jean Paul Valley as Batman and, mullet-Superman and the Superman clones.

You want him naked?
I like them.
Wonder Woman looks pretty damn fantastic and Superman, well it's no big guess why they went with that design. People liked the basic costume he wore when the Nu52 debuted, the shirts and pants thing when he was fighting for the common man and they've obviously gone back to it because hey it can connect with people even if it's not an iconic suit.

I honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic or if you haven't read the thread.

I don't wear the same clothes everyday because it gets boring. So I like DC changing costumes a lot. It helps with freshening up a character and it's also good in that when they get an ugly ass design you know it won't last long.
The Suicide Squad are getting new costumes to because they're fight ISIS...no seriously...really....
Oh man this is awesome.
The amount of hilarity this will generate is going to be fantastic.

He's Superman. He can wear whatever the hell he wants.
The shape of those armblades is totally ripped off from Fullmetal Alchemist.
I suppose you meant to say "invincible" ?

Wonder Woman looks ok. I agree with the comments that the blades need to go.
Superman...I can't even call that a costume. Sorta took the Super our of Superman with that boring look.

They are really a house of ideas....
Superman- The hair change and face makes it so that he doesn't even look like the same guy anymore. There's no costume at all here; it just looks too plain.
Batman- I just hope that this rabbit armor suit is not actually the same character, but people seem to have faith in the creative team on this one.
Wonder Woman- The gauntlet blade-things are stupid. Ditch them. Get rid of the stars, too, and it's not bad, although it doesn't fit Wonder Woman as an "Amazon Warrior." Reminds me of this Elseworlds version from 1993 or 1994:

Wonder Woman's outift looks amazing.
Superman looks like a dudebro from gym.

might as well make his heat vision permanent with the amount of angry red eyes shots there are
Rumblings that Superman's identity will be made public. Maybe the down home farm boy feels he doesn't need to be flashy if he's got nothing to hide.

Oh please be a joke
Now why was it that Superboy Prime so much more powerful than everyone else, again?

Absolutely love Wonder Woman's costume
what in the fuck at Superman though lol

Because he's basically an mentally unstable Silver-Age Superman.
My only problem with the Batgirl redesign is that she appears to have regressed back into a teenager. The uniform is fine. It's not like that weird armor was any better.
