Every Spider-man and Bat-man reboot took hard changes to the character both in looks and atmosphere, Classified is full blown going Retro which seems weird as fuck since we have the Super7 brand doing that anyway. Did Flynn break someone's brain at Hasbro? Because as soon as he got in on this brand all the retro stuff became front and center with Hasbro.
