I feel pretty good that all of those will be solid costumes once they are not being drawn by Jim Lee

I assume Guerrilla Fighter Harley supposed to be the Suicide Squad version of her because that costume doesn't look like it'd work in the Connor/Palmiotti-verse. It's the only costume I straight up dislike (although I am similarly disappointed Cruz's costume is becoming more generic/Green Lantern-ified).

I think I just genuinely don't like the mostly dark-blue bodysuit for Superman. It looks so dour regardless of how many thin bands of red they put on it.

I think it is a perfect symbol of everything that was wrong with the whole New 52 rebooted continuity, in that it didnt change enough to be worth doing, but it changed enough to be distracting and off-putting.

The Truth outfit, though, is one of the best Superman looks.  The late-period New52 Superman is such a weird little note in the history of the character's identity: a police-fighting strongman who has abandoned his alien battlesuit in favor of casualwear, can explode sunbeams from his body, and, later, listen to the radio with his mind. He has no secret identity and is romancing the God of War.

I liked it when Jim Lee drew it. Otherwise he should have just stuck with the shirt and jeans. Speaking of super hero casual looks: Son of Superman, wear some drat socks with your shoes!

In the first issue of Morrison's comic that has the new uniform, he describes it as "kryptonian formal wear", which I thought was a neat concept. I would be fine with him only busting it out on special occasions and sticking to the t-shirt and jeans look for his every day superheroics.

Here's something stupid. Frank Cho has been hired to draw a year's worth of variant covers for Wonder Woman. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/04/30/frank-cho-to-draw-24-covers-for-wonder-woman-this-year/ e: I'd believe the horndog superbabe cheesecake market returning to the comic for Cho might be bigger than that disappointed they're not entirely taking the high road, so maybe not financially stupid.

I was actually going to say it's the best of the lot, because it's not the same as her solo title's costume. They've given Harley a motif that she can adapt into different looks for different situations. All the dumb little details that make the other new costumes too busy and confusing sell the idea that the Harley, as a character, is parodying her own role in the Suicide Squad. Come to think of it, if DC's dead set on doing half a dozen Harley books a month, they should hire Kyle Baker. Circa 2004 Kyle Baker.

Listen, I don't really care for Green Lantern stories at all so I'll admit up front I have no clue about the character in question, but is there even a half decent reason the one Green Lantern still wears a ski mask and has an actual gun? Because that just seems stupid.

I wouldn't say ski mask. It's a cowl and differentiates him from everyone else's domino mask. As for the gun, his origin is being plucked up as a petty criminal and not trusting alien light tech. It's on Jim Lee's Rebirth art, but I don't think that's really been a part of his character since the shortly after the debut. I think his introduction was actually one of the bright spots in Johns' N52 run. It's nice that he's finally getting focused on. I hope I like Humphries' comic.

Wasn't his whole thing that if his ring should fail for some reason, he still has a means to defend himself? I'm sure that will work well on super-powered space dictators or whatever, but eh.

Yeah it was because literally every Green Lantern has their ring run dry every other week at the worst possible time, so when that inevitably happens, at least he's still got a gun. I thought it was a really dumb idea at first until I learned that, now I think he's the only GL who's not a complete idiot.

Y'know...guns can also fail. Like that is a thing that can happen with guns. Has he ever even actually shot anyone with it? And can someone Cliff's Notes Jessica Cruz for me? I've been keeping up with none of this.

It only has to make sense to him. Even if having it just makes him feel more confident, and that makes his willpower constructs stronger, that's a more interesting character to me than Ken Doll In Space Makes Big Hands.

Power Ring has traditionally been an opposite version of Hal from Earth 3, he's all quivering and fearful and being ordered around by his evil alien ring. Once he was killed in Forever Evil, the ring flew off to find another fearful person and got her. She'd been through a massive trauma, had a psychological break and was living locked in her apartment. It controlled her for a while, but she overcame it, or she's in the process of that right now. That's all been a part of the turned around good post-Forever Evil JL. Worth reading. You get all that Lex Luthor and chair Batman too.

Given how often the rings are corrupted, disabled, reassigned, drained, or stolen, I think a side arm of some sort makes sense, though an Earth gun firing bullets is admittedly really low-tech for galactic law enforcement.

Isn't she just supposed to be wearing makeup. N52 Harley's origin involves Joker dunking her in chemicals similar to the ones than messed up his skin and hair. She wears makeup if she's being Dr Quinzel now, and also has the Margot Robbie blonde hair with the dyed tips, but otherwise, she's as pale as Joker normally.

It gives him multiple points of failure instead of a single one. You wouldn't tell a marine to get rid of their sidearm because their rifle is a generally better weapon. Maybe he should use his space connections to get a really good laser gun or something but the idea of a sidearm isn't preposterous.

Basically if a new recruit human being Lantern doesn't 100% trust the ring and wants to have a backup means of defending himself, it needs to a) be something he does trust and is familiar with, b) easily obtainable, not made by magic space elves but by regular ol' people, and c) something he can carry on his person easily. A gun can fail but a person can also learn it inside and out, clean it, care for it, etc. to the point that he can probably fix it if it does fail. Like how pirates in the old times used to carry a brace of pistols since they took forever to reload, the Lantern with a ring and a gun is objectively in better shape than the Lantern who has a ring but no gun.

As far as simple outfits works I like the Jessica GL aside from the eye thing. But most of those are still pretty basic and 99% of the population couldn't tell what's new.

And as long as it carries the weight of a broken moral code and uses a time traveling bullet, you can shoot Darkseid with a gun too.

Somewhat worth mentioning that the time between "Jessica is possessed by the ring" and "Jessica partners with the Justice League to do missions" is like a couple of hours. It's been a little while since I read it but if memory serves Flash determines that the ring can't be removed (or Jessica doesn't want it removed?) so they do the only rational thing and put her in the field. I'm definitely not complaining that "they didn't go introduce the new character slowly enough, they should have dragged out Jessica begging the team to take her along for a few more issues!" but it just seemed funny to me how quickly it all happened in world v  v.
