I don't think Jim Lee's really done it since the launch, or since he got off of JL in the first year anyway. The DCYou stuff was pretty much all by the series artists like Aaron Kuder for buzzcut Supes, Greg Cupullo for RobobunnyJimbat, Trevor McCarthy's dumb tribal warrior Aquaman, Jason Fabok and maybe Francis Manapul for the Darkseid War God JLs. From the last solicits at least Bruce and Clark are returning to the regular N52 costumes for the 50th issues, which is a bit of a missed opportunity for some tweaks.

I know it was said the second the first images came out and has been said a billion times again afterwards but I feel I'm justified in adding my voice to this comparison: Motherfucker looks exactly like Ivan Ooze.

If Michael Clarke Duncan was alive someone physically as imposing as him with that voice and expression might have been cool. Apocalypse's design is very imposing. Then again, whatever, this is more of a Messiah type figure and those tend to be a bit more lithe. I swear to God my hope is that somehow through this movie we get a surprise and Cable shows up. And the DC redesigns are sad. The original Anti Monitor has this horrific opposite of life deaths grin thing going and now it's lost.

He does look more like the/a Monitor now, so I get where the idea came from. But, god drat, he looks so much like a knock-off Apocalypse that it doesn't matter what kind of good idea went into the design. Even worse, the Anti-Monitor had two things really key to his look: the color scheme, and more importantly the rictus-grinning Mega Man boss head. A-M's whole purpose these days is to make you say "oh poo poo, this escalated!" when he shows up on covers and last page splashes; why would you make him less recognizable, thereby diluting that impact? Maybe I'm just too old to get it.

These movies are p. much a lock for profit and they're too cheap/poorly made to compete with Marvel's offerings--which is saying a lot because Marvel stuff is deeply flawed--so what else is going to build buzz other than "lol look at how dumb this looks?"

Yeah, all of Singer's X flicks have at least one dope as hell action sequence. Remember when everyone was making fun of Quicksilver's costume last time around,and he ended up being the best part. I have faith that Apocalypse will end up being pretty drat cool at the very least.

The X-Men is a comic book movie franchise I sort of wished didn't really end up with them having a uniform/costume immediately. It seems like I LIKE their action a bit more when they're all dressed up in everyday sort of clothing. Admittedly, you do get to a point where characters start to need/wear something like combat suits or something, but I've sort of always wanted to see an X-men movie that spends a lot more time with mutants living in the shadows fighting a covert war and trying their best to fit in with the rest of humanity as they can. The gradual shift to uniforms comes 2-3 films later once the mutants start to get out into the open with the public a lot more.

Uniform look, non-uniform, street, tactical, colorful, drab, no one can agree. Also the Quicksilver scene in DoFP was garbage and X-men 1 had no great action beats to speak of, but that's neither here nor there.

Let's try and remember that movies are made for the general public and not comic book fans. It conveys the scope of his powers well while using a song that most people can identify with.

I kind of want both of them to still be in movies. AoU Quicksilver, for as little time as he had on screen, was still fun. He didn't totally steal the show, but I really feel like he should get some more screen time.

That's why they should do a different thing in each movie, it's not like Fox is hopping off this train anytime soon. If the retro-sequel path stays true the next one should take place sometime in the 90s, a perfect opportunity to abandon all restraint and bring the Jim Lee look to the big screen. Why yes, it is yellow spandex

Why yes, it is yellow spandex Seeing the X-men costuming evolve as it progresses could be an interesting shorthand for their develop through the franchise, too. If something like Post-Magneto-level events when the public sees mutants for the first time, Xavier pulls a tactic similar to Reed Richards. He could be trying to remold his idea of the publuc face of the X-men into trying to look more individualized and heroic people than a biker gang or wearing matching paramilitary uniforms. Not saying I really think most of the comic book costumes could/would translate well on screen, though, without some major modifications. But stuff like Scott walking around with a bomber jacket over his normal costume, Nightcrawler in an outfit that looks more like something an acrobat would wear, etc. might work if the story made a point to focus on the design was to attempt to make the public view mutants in a different way. Also, in keeping in the spirit of the 90-onwards, it sort of paints Xavier as sort of a bit more manipulative and flawed than a wholly saintly figure.
