Being a supporting cast member is fine. Being "Flash-Lite" is not.
I fundamentally disagree with this. I think the uninitiated should always matter.
Overall? Sure! Specifically on the matter of rebuilding Wally? Nah!
Across all media, he does. But you can removehim from DC canon without no one batting an eye. Remove Dick's time as Bats, however, and it's a big deal.Nothing about Batman Beyond's costume makes him look like a rookie. Sci-fi Batman, sure. Ultimately, Batman Beyond has a larger presence in the Batman franchise than Dick Grayson as Batman.
Yes, and that's both fine and beside the point.Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson both being Batman simultaneously, both wearing ordinary Batman costumes, lasted about a year or so. It wasn't built to last, and it didn't.
I'm gonna ask you to re-read the section you're responding to here, because you clearly didn't get what i was saying.People know what the regular Spider-Man looks like. They know what the standard is. It's understood that the Miles Morales Spider-Man costume isn't the ordinary Spider-Man costume.
It's just a figure of speech, relax.I think you're approaching this differently than I am. I just want to talk about comic character I like on a comic book forum. I'm not playing games or trying to trick you.
Right now it absolutely is.I don't think it's a binary choice of Flash-Lite or adhering closely to the standard Flash costume. I don't think either do the character any favours.
Jay is an exception here because "Golden-Age": he (and the rest of the golden agers) predates most of the axioms on the matter. Walter is almost an exception: he still looks cool AF, but his design doesn't hold when side-by-side with classic. Spider people go into the "re-read" part I said above.I don't think Jay Garrick looks like Flash-Lite. Or Walter West, or Impulse, or Godspeed. I don't think Batman Beyond looks like Batman-Lite. I don't think Spider-Gwen/Ghost-Spider looks like Spider-Man-Lite. As long as you can tell what franchise the character belongs to, the more bold and striking the better.
The rest are lite versions, yes, but also their own characters for which that's fine.
