Hey, I'm curious what the reaction was to the "new look" of the Batman when some of you original buyers of the comics saw him for the first time.

As someone who grew up seeing the modern version I've always preferred the original bat on the chest without the yellow oval around it. I thought the original looked better and the later had to much of a cheese look for my tastes.

To my eyes the impact of a new artist on the series helped more vs the changes to the costume. Batman went from a almost static drawn series to much smoother looking action series. I absolutely love Sheldon Moldoff's work in comics and on Batman but looking back he seemed better suited to the 40's & 50's art styles where as Carmine worked well for the 60's style of comics. It's kind of sad DC couldn't find a place for his (Sheldon) work later.

What did you guys think back in 64'?
