I'm glad they kept the playing card motif but now he looks exactly like Batman!
It will be an improvement over the New 52, but probably not enough.
Real, positive change and a return to the classic characters will not happen at DC until the creatively stunted regime of DiDio, Lee, and Harras is gone. (Johns can stay, but only in a capacity of reduced power, likely just as Writer/Editor again).
These guys simply have a myopic view of the DCU, and almost all of them are stuck in the 90s... the worst ever era of comic books.

Spoiler:
-Old Wally is back.
-There are 3 Jokers.
-The JSA has returned.
-The Watchmen are part of the DCU.
-The New DC U is the result of Doctor Manhattan creating life Post-Watchmen.
Spoiler:It's not as simple as just dropping WATCHMEN into DCU continuity... This entire thing is a self-critical take on what DC has been doing for the past couple of decades, which is essentially chasing the shadows of WATCHMEN, TDKR, etc. What this is saying, in a very metatextual way, is that DC has been wrongly "grimdark" for a while... and it promises (or at least hints) at a return to Silver Age, pre-WATCHMEN sensibilities.
