    I like to think that the Azrael Batsuit was intentionally created to be so 90' to represent everything that Batman should not be and how mentally unstable Azrael was.

      Nx57ytre actually the entire storyline was meant to shut up all the people who wanted Batman to start killing criminals, by showing them how terrible that would be.

      Exactly! The thing everyone leads up is that at this same time Bruce got a costume that was the exact opposite: loose cloth and a traditional chinese mask. Eventually it came to a fight of Batman vs. Batman and Jean Paul found out how he basically just uses his power armor as a crutch, and its ineffectiveness is even used when batman gets him stuck between rocks in it.

    The Azreal Bat suit meant to parody the other over the top 90s characters at the time. At the end of the story, there is a very clever deconstruction of the suit when Bruce defeats Azreal with his own suit.

      Porn isn't fun and softcore porn sure as hell isn't either. Fan service is fucking annoying, not only does it take away a good portion of the story and fills it with boobs but it becomes so distracting after awhile. I can't take a behemoth of a dude wearing nothing but tighties or a woman barely wearing anything at all seriously in most circumstances. If I wanted porn I'd just watch porn.

      Was that when Cap's super soldier serum became like poison, he needed Stark built armor to even let him stand. He ended up in a fight that left him like jello in his suit, then we see the Red Skull reviving him from a block of ice.

    • @kforcer
      @kforcer 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That armor actually made perfect sense; the super soldier serum had begun deteriorating, causing Captain America to slowly lose his physical prowess and well, slowly die. It was actually a really well-written and poignant storyline.

  • @bsabruzzo
    @bsabruzzo 6 ปีที่แล้ว +302

    Didn't Booster Gold's power suit replace his old one because Doomsday destroyed the old suit and current technology was nowhere near the future suit's tech? And Blue Beetle tried his best.

    • @christopherpaul6637

      Wasn’t it life support armor? He eventually go a sleeker upgrade in Extreme Justice

    • @bsabruzzo
      @bsabruzzo 6 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      I don't remember Extreme Justice. I always thought that he got a new set of future armor.
      From what I an find out, the power suit that is referenced in the video is basically the same look, but a slight upgrade where Blue Beetle can take over the suit if (or more likely when) Booster gets knocked out. The writers intended it to be bad armor, according to what I can find online.
      Eventually Professor Hamilton used the original suit and Superman's "Blue Electricity" containment suit to make a new suit that was as close to Booster's original as possible. After he switches from the Supernova suit back to his original suit, it gets unclear if it's the Hamilton design or another future suit.
      However, I am trusting what I can find online and you know how ify that can be. Still, as far as I can tell, the Blue Beetle designs were the big and bulky looking ones and never anywhere as powerful as his original.

    • @CudpudQC
      @CudpudQC 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      It waa life support armor. In the justice league international run of comics he loses his arm and is essentially killed. Ted kord builds the power armor for him to keep him alive until the monarch, who isnt hank hall but rather is captain atom ( its then revealed the captain atom we know is actually a clone of thw original who is now monarch), gives him a new arm and heals his body allowing him to use a new suit built using alien technology obtained during extreme justice. The new suit has skeets uploaded into it.

  • @gryphman
    @gryphman 6 ปีที่แล้ว +168

    Regarding AzBats. It's been stated by those that worked on the book, that the point of that costume, was to show that 90s EXTREME mentality wouldn't work with Batman. It makes it a lot more endearing, when you take that into account.

  • @masterDarts4188

    • @overload81
      @overload81 6 ปีที่แล้ว +151

      Hannibal Rasberry i guess it reminds them of the batman and robin movie. Or it is just a preverence of blending in vs contrast, with blue blending in and red as a striking contrast. To me both work just fine, though for a vigilante hiding in the dark i would say the blue is more practical.

    • @morganyoung3557

    • @tsukopara2054
      @tsukopara2054 5 ปีที่แล้ว +119

      I disliked it because red is Jason Todd’s colour now. The warmer blue sort of depicts Dick Grayson’s purity & his status as Batman’s perfect heir. The red of Jason is meant to show how much more violent he is in dispensing justice.
      Nightwing’s costume was only made red for a really bad attempt at ‘rule of cool’ as well.

      It wasn't all bad. We had Hellboy,Spawn,Bone,Cavewoman, Liberty Meadows and Danger Girl among others. Image and Dark Horse also got their start in the 90s. But so many comics were trying to Hotter&Sexier or edgy similar to many Golden Age and/or Bronze Age comics without truly comprehending what made them work. Take Vampirella for one.Sure,she wore mainly dental floss,but her stories were well written. As compared to most Bad Girl Art of the 90s who couldn't hold a candle. Anyway,most but not all comic titles of the 90s were about being collectors items with style over substance and overly rendered coloring.

  • @AshuraH
    @AshuraH 6 ปีที่แล้ว +46

    There was actually a reason for Booster Gold's "super awesome" power armor: the original costume was destroyed by Doomsday during the Death of Superman and the armor was built by Blue Beetle. Then, he lost an arm and died (kinda-sorta, he was put in stasis), but after awhile, he got a new armor based off of Superman's blue containment suit.
    COMICS!

    I actually really liked Night Wings Red Insignia from the New 52. Don’t get me wrong, I prefer the Blue but I did like the Red one as well. The one thing I wished they kept after Night Wing got his Blue Insignia back was his Bat spiked gauntlets. To me, it makes perfect sense that Dick Grayson would adopt Batman style gauntlets as a functional part of his suit and also because I think it looks badass!

    I liked the Electric Superman costume. The idea was interesting and the chance to explore evolving powers and new weaknesses is interesting to me. I feel it even had a bit of prestige to it since the design was reused to help contain the Strange Visitor's powers and it was later used by Livewire when she became a hero. It's definitely better than the trunksless versions of the Classic Outfit that are being used now.

      Well Secondary Mutations became a big thing a couple of years later (or maybe it was then, honestly I dropped out of X-Men in the early 90s and back in with Morrison's run), so it may have been that, held back previously by the bonding process and kicked into gear by the trauma. I mean how many different looks have Beast had by now?

    @RedDragonM1 6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I found Logan losing his adamantium an interesting character study. The whole thing about Logan becoming more feral, wasn't on account of the loss of his adamantium. Stick told Logan that was HIMSELF all along! The adamantium ripped from his body shook him up to the core! He gave up on himself, and that what made him become more animalistic. The trauma he suffered made him feel like he had no use to the x-men. Even after helping them save the world from aliens, he STILL didn't rejoin. He was able to realize this, and re-found himself. Oh, the Man-beast look? His healing factor was more powerful without his adamantium...it was slowing it down. The man-beast look was regressing slowly back to normal due to the healing factor.

    New costumes, even ones that are ultimately meant to be temporary, are a tricky thing to do since it has to be different from the old costume otherwise what's the point of changing it, but usually there still needs to be some familiar element to the old costume for the sake of recognition. Doing this and finding something that still looks good is not as easy as it sounds. Often times the best ones, or at least more accepted ones, are more similar to the original, just a variation of it's design, but there have been some that are much bigger changes from the previous design that are still well liked.

    I love the 90s version of the disco suit, but what would make it perfect though is if they made the collar section light blue, give it a bit of v neck, and put his symbol on the belt to better mirror the original. It's also surprisingly tame given the time it came out and I wish we could get more renditions of it.

    Drake, I agree with all you said except about Superman and Guy Gardner. Superman Blue's suit couldn't have been designed better, though the power set was generic. It also allowed for a human Clark Kent when his electric powers weren't employed. His mullet was never an issue to me, I thought it looked good on him. Guy Gardner Warrior was also interesting, though perhaps he could have been tweaked in appearance. I wouldn't mind if his Warrior persona returned.

    The thing about Logan's mutation into a feral state is that the Professor's reasoning behind his whole adamantium theory was made before Wolverine had a concrete backstory to fall on.
    At that point, Logan's past was still a mishmash of memories and no one knew what was true or false.
    So in that context, as nonsensical as the Prof's explanation was in terms of science (even comic book science), you can't really use his true past as a counterargument considering it wasn't clearly defined to anyone until well over a decade later.

      Tabor Pyhala nothing, I just like the black and blue one. But I don’t get the hatred for the costume, in fact I liked it when Damian Wayne used red in the Nightwing costume for the Injustice universe, I just didn’t like the longer hair, Damian Wayne just doesn’t look right if he doesn’t have short spiky hair. But if for some reason in the main universe Damian Wayne does become Nightwing, I would get behind him wearing the black and red outfit. But for Dick Grayson they should just stick to the black and blue outfit we all love.
