Here's the thing... it's not that I hate the new outfit or anything but there is great power in being iconic. It affords a level of instant recognition that spans time and generation. While the idea of upgrading Iron Man from time to time seems a rather natural fit, I don't think that's true of most heroes... usually rather subtle style changes work best. Hey, I've got a novel idea... how about latest dumbass writers like Straczynski keep their egos out of messing with nearly 70 years of tradition and try ACTUALLY WRITING GOOD STORIES as opposed to attempting cheap ploys to sell a few more books. Same message to the editors. Of course a few of us are old enough to remember Denny O'Neil (considered one of the better comic writers of his time) and his WW revamp complete with new costume... even he had to admit how badly he screwed up the character looking back. 
but we are talking about DC, it stands for Dismiss Continuity, right?
