Sorry to bug you about this, but try to remember to uncheck the box that embeds the images locally, as that compresses the images and makes them smaller, often too small to read and understand.
When composing a post, there's a button on the top row. This is the row that lets you insert bold tags in your post, and so forth. The insert image button lets you wrap images in [img] tags. When you first click on it, you have to change the tab from the current "From Computer" tab, unless you're uploading images from your own device. But if they're from some website, you switch tabs to "From URL" and paste the image's URL into the field.
It's on this second "From URL" tab, where you paste image URLs into the text field, where there's a check box below the field that asks if you want CBR to upload and host the image locally. Alas, this "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" box is always checked by default, which means you have to uncheck whenever you're inserting an image from another website into your posts. If you don't, then CBR will upload the images to their servers and shrink their size and distort their resolution.
character sketches for Future State Batman and the JL suit. his Justice League suit is so fucking COLD!
however, I still don't understand superhero comics' obsession with bare-faced grown men. my guy couldn't even keep a goatee? how are we gonna be able to tell him apart from Luke now?! because lord forbid they let a brotha grow hair and mix it up

THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki
also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.
currently following:
- DC: Red Hood: The Hill
- Marvel: TBD
- Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force

That is a beautiful suit, and Tim/Jace looks beautiful wearing it! I'mma legit miss having this Batman to look at post-Future State.
I also don't understand why they have him clean-shaven when he's rocking with the Justice League. His is a pretty low-key goatee, so having him hold onto that in-costume at a point where he's comfortable and relatively safe enough to show his lower face shouldn't be a problem. Yet it seems they instinctively had him go clean-shaven as soon as he starts showing his face. The low-key goatee worked, though, so them ditching it later is a shame. And like you say, both him and Luke going clean-shaven really makes them too facially similar to one another.
As much as I love seeing his Black skin in-costume (as there is legit power in seeing that portrayed unambiguously), there's a part of me that makes me wonder something. If it was deemed necessary for him to lose his facial hair once he started exposing his lower-face, then maybe he outta have remained with a full-face cowl even once he joined the Justice League.
One image from Justice League actually made me think Tim shaved his entire head. It’s the one where he’s sitting on his bed in the shadows with his shirt off. You can only see the top and back but it looked like he shaved his hair and beard.

i'm looking at the image right now, and it's hard to say. it could be a shaved head, or the cyberpunk-style neon lights of Gotham, or just a weird coloring choice since it's not exactly a panel you're supposed to be looking too closely at. Assuming it's the simplest option (shaved head), it just makes it so weird that he changed so much aesthetically. Why did he change his suit? why did he shave off his face and head? I hope they actually give us a reason for these random changes because it just seems like a weird choice to me; at that point why not just have two different characters take up the mantle like the Aquafamily did.
meh chins are overrated beards have been the wave for a while now

And that's my worry/issue. Because that's simply not true that clean-shaven has to go with that type of mask. It'd kind of just be an excuse, were it the actual reason.
Then there's the worry that there was no reason and they were just negligent in the design and the design consistency.
