Y'know, I'm not expecting this to be like Truth, but the Bleeding Cool report of them replacing Batman along with this just makes me think we might be hitting another DCYou era.
They've definitely fallen out of the favor, especially with stuff like the MCU that basically has 99% of their heroes go without them and barely treats Spider-Man's seriously, although several prominent characters still have and utilize them (mostly on DC's side).
Although I'm reminded of how in Into the Spider-Verse blond Peter made it a major point to Miles that had to hide his identity as one of his parting words.
