Why couldnt they put Nightwing's "bird" emblem with his logo instead of Batman's?
Anyhow, Nightwing's looks good. Not really feeling Captain Atom's though

Nightwing art is super. Credit where credit's due, this is way better than Barrows previous work on Superman!

If they want captain atom to succeed they will need to step up the knowledge, the guy seems to have little knowledge of atoms, or what happens when a volcano erupts, or that he looks retardly similar to Vanilla Ice.

So is Captain Atom like Superman Blue/Superman Red? Seems like an odd read.

Nightwing was always great and it dosent look like anythings changed, was planning on picking this up b4 and the preview looks pretty good.

Captain Atom is a blank slate at this point, the guy has never really been explored but he definitely has potential, so it could go eitehr way, hope they make his comic good.

NIGHTWING lOOKS Badazz... I dont know he seems more like Batman than his old self.. I hope he gets to keep the batmobile and some of Batman Weapons.

Everything about Nightwing I always end up loving... I'll definitely be checking that out... as for Captain Atom, no.

Don't like the last of the mohekans air on cap atom, out of all the new character revamp he got the most change.

Reminds me of Batman Beyond.

So switching Nightwing from blue to red makes him more relatable and accessible? Blue is his signature color. And here we go again with the ” fins” on the arms! It doesn't look good on Deathstroke, and it doesn't look good on Dick.

The more I see these the more baffled I am that they call them 'relaunchs'. Justic League is apparently an origin storyline. Dick Grayson is still Nightwing. Barbara Gordon can walk again an is back as Batgirl. Green Lantern is still attached to a pre-Flashpoint storyline and Sinestro is a Green Lantern again. As individual stories they are extremely good, but trying to connect them all together is insane!

Not really liking Nightwing's new look.
Glove and boot pockets gone?
And red now? So much for stealth.
Great artist though.

That Red In Nightwings Suit Sucks,I Cant Take My Eyes Off It.Its Too Much Of A Distraction.They Need To Change It Back To Blue Asap

Red and Black Nightwing puts more fear into criminals. Blue is to happy. And the gauntlets come from when he was Batman. Great addition to the suit. Stop hating and accept that things will and always do change.

Captain Atom's new look seems like an amalgam between his old look, Dr. Manhattan, Firestorm and Marvel's Champion of the Universe! Nightwing doesn't look bad, new look has a hint of Daredevil perhaps?

Nightwing looks pretty cool, probably check that out. The red costume looks badass and more intimidating. As for Captain Atom, don't know much about the character (got a Captain Atom when I was younger, only cause I thought he looked cool), but this seems pretty alright.

Was Nightwing the original Robin in this new reboot?

I'm glad Nightwing is back but I thought it would be cool to see Tim in the suit for a few issues at least. Stupid DC and their #1 tricks.

I think whoever drew Nightwing has been reading too many Daredevil comics.
