God, look at the contrast between those two costumes. The Smallville comics are the one place where they're managed to make Superman sans trunks actually look good, as opposed to fundamentally off-putting, but their Batman is a hot mess. Even beyond the kinda-silly-but-perhaps-practical facepaint, look at all those lines and shit. Even his gauntlets/gloves are overdone. Also, Joe Chill looks weirdly happy in the flashback. I hope that isn't supposed to just after he's killed the Waynes, because that would take him from being a tired old crook to amoral bastard. I rag on it, but from what I've seen here the Smallville comics are good, credit where credit's due.
