Superman just got his red trunks back and now his World’s Finest ally is going back to basics.
Daniel’s image is the cover of September’s Batman #55, so that looks like when the outfit will debut.
Anyway, never once did I warm to the trunkless look, so this is good news.
From a design standpoint, the trunks have always worked, regardless if they’re old-fashioned. What looks good, looks good.
Of course, who knows how long this outfit will last. Batman has a different costume — trunkless but with the yellow oval — in Doomsday Clock, which is set ahead of the current doings of the DCU.
Whatever. I’ll enjoy it as long as I can.

Looks like both Batman AND Superman are enjoying having their trunks back in their super-suits.
Glad the trunks are back. Never liked the pouches in the belt though. Looked clunky and a bit too para-military. I preferred the streamlined capsules of old.
So…he just went back to his look post-No Man’s Land through pre New-52?
Works for me! The armored look works in the films (within reason) but in comics, it just looks clunky.
