I'm assuming you are (mercifully) unfamiliar with his ouvre, as otherwise the reasons for my scorn of the pec-happy body-dysmorphic strap-and-pouch-fetish-friendly 'artist' would be apparent.

Stylistic exaggerations aside, Liefield's characters are blighted by the scribbler's insistence that their appearance denies not only the principles of elementary anatomy and physiology, but the basic laws of gravity. All that upper-body mass would make them topple over at the slightest breeze....tottering over on those bizzarre bootees.

As an artist, his work makes me want to crawl into a corner and die. With this link, I hereby rest my case.

Good gods, they've hired Liefield. I was annoyed enough at Marvel for getting him on Deadpool Corps, why do people keep employing him? "you know what our problem is, our characters look vaugely like humans, and don't scowl enough. Get me Rob Liefield"

"Quick we need lots of characters with receeding hairlines running straight at us with their arms held out horizontally like kids imagining they're aeroplanes in the playground! I don't care if people don't run like that, get me Liefield!"

My God...Liefeld, Lee, Brett Booth, Scott Lobdell, Fabian Nicienza...too much with all this DC reboot, I'm reminded of 90s Marvel...the worst period of mainstream comics ever.... have the lunatics taken over the asylum yet again?!

Thankfully we still have Morrison, and Johns and George Perez, that's something at least. I'll concentrate my attention there I think....

so let me get this straight. in this Reboot, Barbara is now walking, Nightwing costume now looks red and what about Robin...what about Damian (ok his loss would be fantastic) but Tim Drake who right now is Red Robin...what about him?
