Stingray's costume is unapologetically 70's and decidedly different from most underwater heroes, but for some reason it really works for me. I love the cape/fins design, it seems like it would work well with the currents. The face concealing mask may be an issue for some, but I've always thought it looked pretty cool. The right artists really made this outfit sing on the page.

A water resistant thread that doesn't absorb H2O. Now that's the basis for an undersea costume with a built in rebreather and all kinds of Iron Man like tech working through out it. That would help do wonders.
I agree, Stingray has long been a favorite of mine and his costume rocks! Nice choice for todays cover.
Actually, no offense & all, but apparently Stingray first appeared in Submariner #19 in 1969. Ahead of his time, I guess.
I remember a Detective Comics annual, from the early 1970's, where Bruce Wayne adopted "Stingray" as his crime-fighting alter-ego. It was one of several four-panel Imaginary Stories that also featured his adopting pseudonyms like The Owl, The Scorpion, The Comet, and The Iron Knight!
I also recall them being (briefly) resurrected by DC, thirty or forty years later, for some kind of mini-crisis.
@Cary: actually, you're not that far off. It was BATMAN (v.1) #256. A 100-Page Super-Spectacular, such as Ross likes to pay homage to, and the astronomical alter-ego was dubbed The Shooting Star!
As for their being resurrected? I honestly can't recall that. Maybe Bob Greenwade can dig up where and when that happened.
Water-practical or not, this costume of Stingray's does have a great look to it. With the MCU leaning more toward comics-accurate costumes,* I'm wondering if the designers will try for that, something with a more realistically-practical form, or an attempt at splitting the difference.
@Anon@9:01: No such luck; the only other references to these versions of Bruce Wayne that I can find are in the Multiversity guides. Perhaps one of the legit comics historians who visit can find it.
*I recall that Jeremy Renner had something to say about that, but I don't remember what it was.
@Bob, et al: Yeah, it appears that Morrison used those variations as some of Batman analogues when he was building the Multiversity. The Scorpion, for example, is the "Batman" of Earth-41.
Thanks, Jay! :-)
Have a Happy Easter.
Just saw this:

And it got me thinking, The Wonder Twins teaming up with Aurora and Northstar would be a really cool crossover. Especially if it was as a double date with Zan & Jean-Paul and Jayna & Jeanne-Marrie as the couples.
Also, thinking of Super Friends, an episode guest starring John Constantine would be a great site to see. That, or Constantine teaming up with The Scooby Gang. Maybe a two parter where he teams with the Scooby Gang and then they need to ask the Super Friends era Justice League for help.
Greggory, The Wonder Twins met Northstar and Aurora in STF #3279
Constantine and the Scooby Gang is an interesting thought that I'd like to see. It's within DC's reach to actually do it, since they have access to Hanna-Barbera characters, but it'd be great if you could beat them to that punch, Ross.
(Constantine with the Super Friends would be even closer to their grasp, since they're both DC properties, which is also a reason that I don't expect to ever see that team-up idea here.)
I have to confess I'm not familiar with Stingray. I would have guessed that this was a 70s Legion of Super-Heroes outfit! He'd fit right in with that team, based on this design at least.
Only if he were teamed up with them to take on the 30th century descendants of the Deep Six.
You mean, 31st century! It's the New Millenium, now. ;-D
