Internet has gone crazy as always. No doubt threats issued.
But I really liked this change in costume design for the characters. Wonder Woman's means much less opportunity to be revealing. Superman's I feel like will be mostly story based than just a simple redesign. To go from Kryptonian armour to a tshirt and jeans would need to be a good reason. There's been rumours of his identity being known so maybe thats why. Also that S always reminds me of the Max Fleischer. Always loved how it looked.
Batman has gotten the most outrage which surprises me because honestly, Batman has all these gadgets and toys and suits, it makes MUCH more sense for him to have a crazy suit that basically lets him do everything he needs while giving full armoured protection. He wants to get rid of crime, swinging on a rope around the city in tights isn't all that effective. But at the same time we don't even know if its Bruce yet. Either way, bold move to so drastically change the Trinity's look, especially right before their big screen debut.

Batsuit has me the most interested, Wonder Woman is ok apart from the Baraka blades, feels a bit generic though. As for Superman.....didn't he just get a new/updated costume? I'm assuming this is for specific story reasons.
Regardless costumes don't really effect my reading enjoyment and I'll be picking up these titles.

Should have titled this "New DC Costumes", Flash and Green Arrow are also getting an update. www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/markcassidycbm/news/?a=116596 Not too much of a drastic change. But I'm just SO so so glad they're ditching the Smallville sunglasses/goggles look for GA. Been loving the book, but I've always hated that look. I did a rhyme.

Well this is my take:
Superman - While looks to be just going back to his Action Comics look (sans cape), I just don't like his haircut...he looks like a douche. I love although the use of the original S-Shield.
Wonder Woman - A LITTLE too busy for me...but is not bad. Also I do not like the wrist-blades (very 90's)
Batman - Well, considering the solicitations and interviews are hinting that might not be Bruce in there, I have no issue with it. Looks good, although I wouldn't call it Batman lol
Flash - Not that drastic of a change, it looks to be a mix between the previous look and the TV show....
Green Arrow - Also doesn't look that drastic....like the fact that it looks like he is growing a goatee/beard.
GL - Need more to make an opinion on it as it just looks he has a green hoodie/robe on.

I'm reserving any comments positive-or-negative for on-air, but seeing those "Cockrum-esque" boots (Storm, Ms. Marvel) on Diana reminded me of this:

I thought Superman looked like a Streets of Rage character wearing a superman t-shirt.

As long as they fit the story that's all that matters to me. Characters get new looks all the time.

The more I look at the Wonder Woman costume the less I like it, comes across as too busy to me. Got no problem with giving her a full body outfit but she deserves something really amazing. I remember seeing the new Captain Marvel costume the first time and thinking "Whoa....awesome!", WW deserves to have something as instantly classic as that.

"Batman's" Armour just reminds me of the cricket from Mulan. Also I really can't tell what the costume actually looks like in the art, it's so busy I can't tell if there's things hanging off the armour or what's going on.

I have a feeling Bruce isn't in the armor it's Harper.

The covers/preview images for Batman/Superman as well as the new Detective Comics give a better look at it. Also remember when this was what everyone was talking about? Good times.
