This whole DCnU is just Heroes Reborn DC style. You know it is going to be un-done, and returned to the normal style, Was not Bob Harras the editor in chief that killed Marvel until Joe Q took it over.

Sometimes I contemplate if folks truly take time to publish something original, or are they only just dishing out words to fill a site. This certainly doesn’t fit that mold. Thank you for taking the time to write with awareness. Once In A While I look at a page and question whether they even proofread it.Fantastic work with this article.

Mr. Terrific – thumbs up, nice look for him, tattoo is nice touch
Firestorm – thumbs up, like this very much, fixes many of the flaws in the original. Is this a team book now?
Supergirl – thumbs up, Wonderful costume, awesome job
Flash – thumbs up, great as always
Harley Quinn – thumbs up, GIGANTIC IMPROVEMENT!
Wonder Woman – thumbs up, I dont have the problem with it others seem to. I like it. I always thought it was dumb to have a warrior, an amazon in a bathing suit
Superman – thumbs up, nice. I like it!

I kind of like Superman’s new look, although I agree it should look less like armor. I’m sure the idea is that it’s some sort of Kryptonian material and that this will be revealed in Action Comics. But the image seems more body armor and less alien suit. Also, I think a better idea would have been to incorporate the belt as part of the suit and make it gold on top and red on the bottom to recall his classic look while still getting rid of the undies.

I guess DC thought spadex was silly and to just give everyone a lot of armor.

Really agree on most of the re-design’s being a bit naff. Superman’s is fine BUT why does it look like armour? If it was just line work in the material fine but it’s way too fiddly (really Jim Lee’s going to do this costume and all the others in JLA, all the time?

Supergirl’s costume looks like they had no idea what to do with it and Harley Quin’s honestly is making me not want to but ANY of the new line if it’s indictment of how DC are thinking.

hmm…you know, upon reflection…I think the whole thing with Harley’s redesign (as it fits in with DC’s new aesthetic for female characters)is a way of saying “if a young lady shows too much skin she’s obviously an evil, psychopathic whore”…so I guess the question is “is that interpretation what they were going for or is it something entirely unintentional?”…

Honestly, most of the designs look made for movie versions more than true comic books. The armor on Superman looks very plausible for a movie, given Hollywood’s fetish of suiting up every comic book hero in some type of armor/war-like costume.

I can deal with most of the looks and changes, I can even attempt to give them a chance…but the Harley to me was just insulting. and I’m sorry if people consider them offensive but I loved Zatanna and Black Canry -in the fishnet looks… Zatanna looked like the stage magician she was, and canarry was paying homage to ter mothers look.

Merovaeus,

The solicitation direct from DC says that is Harley:

Harley Quinn! Deadshot! King Shark! Defeated and imprisoned, they’re being interrogated about their mission – and about who’s pulling the strings behind this illegal operation. Who will be the first to crack under the pressure?

Woohoo! I’ve been waiting for years for Superman to take off his little red panties. But the baby blue is still a bit retro–couldn’t they have just gone with the Wizard redesign?

For Supergirl, I can only assume that the red represents an extra panel of cloth sewn on (though usually these go on the inside.)

The odds of successfully redesigning all of DC’s characters at once are not good. (The Silver Age didn’t even do that.) Makes a media splash, though…

Jim Lee shouldn’t have broken out the UnderArmour, Nike, Reebok, etc; catalog to design Supes new suit. It’s clearly a tight long sleeve, long pants compression workout outfit. It helps sore muscles and wicks away moisture nicely and has to bio fibers that reduce bacteria buildup for natural deodorizing. =\

Mr. Terrific’s costume is the worst of the redesigns to me. It comes across as beefcake-ish. If this were the smallvile costume I might be o.k with it but in a comics this just look like a guy showing off his guns. It look like something Terrel Owens would wear to practice.

The “fairplay” jacket was a pretty iconic look even though they changed it for the new character. If anyone would actually look right with a liefeld-esque big jacket and shoulder pads and pouches it’d the guy all about the technology.

I always thought that if somebody was going to get rid of the shorts from Superman’s costume design, they would have to find some other way to compensate from keeping the rest of the body too monotone. I imagined it would involve some additional lines but the DCnU version seemed to have gone a bit overboard.

My guess is that they want to keep the suit from looking like a pair of tights made of thin material like a spandex. Maybe they want to keep Superman from becoming the butt of jokes like Spider-Man. A few comics had ol’ Peter worried that his last battle with a supervillain might have thinned his tights pants.

The new Superman suit would be a kind of bodysuit made of thicker, stronger material that wouldn’t tear easily.

I wish they kept the classic boots with the V-cut. The V-cut is one of the Superman’s distinguishing looks from other characters’ boots. Shane Davis derided them as “cowboy boots”.

All this talk of Superman reminds me. When are we getting a Agent of S.T.Y.L.E. article focusing on Superman’s many looks?

Yeah, BAD designs. Who sent out the memo to all of the DCU heroes in the first place?!? “Hey, all. We almost got wiped out by Reverse Flash. REVERSE FRAKKING FLASH! Ok, time to get TOUGH! Ladies, cover those legs! Men, no undies on the outside! Teens, straps and pouches are so out that you can make them cool retro “anti-cool” again! See you all at the Hall of Justice (assuming the building survives the revamp).”

I mean come on! How is Clark going to hide his Tony Stark wannabe costume under his single breasted suits?!? Oh crap. He doesn’t work at the Daily Planet anymore? He’s a “mild mannered blogger” by day, isn’t he. Sigh…

Oh, and I just hope that when they finally reveal Kyle Rayner’s look, it’s his original costume.

I agree with you on everything in this one, Alan! I do like that they got rid of Superman’s underwear outside his pants (as I’m sure you are as well), but the rest of his outfit is stupid. Too many lines. And the boots lost their identity. I was hoping with updating his costume they’d finally give him gloves, but oh well.
And Firestorm . . . too soon to judge, but I hope those aren’t the final designs. Why on earth do they always give him puffy pirate sleeves?! Jason’s original costume was sleek and updated . . . then they reverted to that old ugly look.
I like the silver on Wonder Woman. It matches her bracelets for once. But I’m not a fan of the dark pants (of course, I also preferred her in shorts).
Mr. Terrific needs his jacket (wouldn’t they fit the modern look they’re going for?) but without the words “fairplay” on the sleeve (always found that cheesy).
And finally, Supergirl’s costume does not make her look like a girl anymore.

That is not Harlequin. That’s Duela Dent; Joker’s Daughter — former Teen Titan, I think on Deathstroke’s “bad” squad. That’s not Harley, I’m not sure why everyone thinks it is.

I’m not entirely convinced that Superman is wearing armor. Seems to me that his “costume” will be kryptonian in origin (much like it was in the Donner movies and Smallville), made of alien fabric. Mu main complaint about this costume is the high neckline. As an artist, I think Superman’s neck is very important to show his strength, it’s a good shorthand. His traditional costume has a lower neckline that emphasized his neck and shoulders, in addition to making him more “athletic”. This high neckline implies a haughty, cerebral attitude that isn’t Superman’s thing.

Another fish in the barrel.
cool article dude.

I dont mind Supeman in armor just as long as it is a gladiator/war storyline and not his everyday look. besides the armor in the second row of his pic looks cool and better. Alan, which storyline/comic is that from?

Wonder woman’s costume is ok since she is a warrior and i never found her to be a nurturer but thats just me.

I think Harley Quinn’s outfit is more of a progession of what she wore in the videogames but not one we actually need to see.

Flash is cool just hope they give wally a new costume and identity.

Supergirl’s old outfit was better but since this supergirl seems to look more like power girl and a older confident woman it fits her but i think the skirt should have stayed. and just give her knee padds.

Firestorm is fine.

Mr. terrific’s old look was cool but this looks like that just without the jacket which doesnt make much sense since he has no other powers then his brain so its a bigger risk of getting shot.

Superman may be getting de-powered so that might explain his new look. I was hoping for something more along the lines of Superboy’s first costume or the eradicator suit, but oh well.

I have said, from the beginning, that the key element here is the number 52. 52 new #1s. 52 multiverses. I think there’s more going on here than DC is letting on (I hope). I remember with COIE there was a lot of pissed off readers for changing “their” DC histories. But they did a good job there. I’m sure they will here as well (again, I hope). I think it would be a bad idea to have such a major overhaul now. There really is no reason for it. And a lot of what I’ve seen has not been THAT interesting enough to make me excited (which is what they seem to be trying to do – excite readers and non readers alike). What does this mean for all the unpublished stories hinted at (IE: Firestorm’s delima at the end of Brightest Day)? I will be giving the books a chance – see what’s what, but really….Wonder Woman and Superman look terrible. Why try to fix what’s not broke? And they dropped the WW series because of all the complaining about the costume. So what do they do? They’re now force feeding that costume concept (it’s basically the same as the dropped tv show)in the books. The only one that has seemed to be unchanged (visually) is Green Lantern.
DC? Please, just put an end to all the speculation and let the cat out of the bag. Why do this to your fans/supporters? Hopefully this is NOT being done for the sake of publicity. I liked where things were going with DC after Brightest Day. And was even looking forward to the return of Aquaman and Firestorm. Now I have no clue how I feel. Actually, I do know how I feel. I feel a slight hesitant disappointment. Ball’s in your court, DC. Don’t screw up!
