Leaked covers for the Superfamily in DCNu

Still keeping the symbol, lost the Red undies, also armorarmorarmor boots. And that Daily Planet globe always gets destroyed.

 

Oh my God! Kon what did they do to you? (Also different design from DCNu's Teen Titans Superboy)

I am so in love with that top and the way the cape goes around her neck. Not too crazy on the bottom part and the weird boots. Also it seems Kara escaped the pants for all women policy.

Well, IMO there's a difference between stuff that was around during the Silver Age, and stuff that is imbued with distinctly Silver Age ideas. By your logic, bringing back Jimmy Olsen or Dick Grayson or Kryptonite or anyone or anything else that existed in the Silver Age would also constitute "bringing back the Silver Age", which isn't really what I meant. But hey — I can tell we're not going to agree on anything, so let's just agree to disagree. I always like to say comics are nothing if not very broad in their scope of ideas.

"Well, IMO there's a difference between stuff that was around during the Silver Age, and stuff that is imbued with distinctly Silver Age ideas."

I think the line between the two is much thinner than you do. I'm sure there were people who thought the robotic Brainiac was distinctly Silver Age ("A robot who goes around shrinking cities and their populations and collecting them? And his spaceship looks like a giant replica of his head? I'm glad we're past that sort of silliness.") and were glad Byrne/Wolfman retconned it out... up until other writers should that it could be adapted and altered to fit modern sensibilities.

I agree that there are aspects of the Silver Age that genuinely can't be adapted today, but I suspect where you and I differ is on what belongs in that category. So on that note...

"I can tell we're not going to agree on anything, so let's just agree to disagree."

Sure.

"I always like to say comics are nothing if not very broad in their scope of ideas."

On that, there's no disagreement. :)
