Ooh. Just saw this. Remember those unused Travel Foreman Stargirl and Animal Man designs?
He just released a bunch more of them https://issuu.com/zuerst/docs/jlu.sketchbook.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

Is that from twenty years ago, or did someone actually sit down recently and decide that the headsock needed to make a comeback?

Honestly, I quite like the Silver motif rather than the old Red/Yellow

The Silver/white Lightning is going to be indistinguishable and dumb thing to design into a character but I think that costume looks sharp.

It's so monochrome. With his red hair and two slightly different shades of red on the costume and the white lightning, it's just all red. I don't know what I'd put on there to break it up but I just don't like it as it is.

maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me



The easiest way to break it up is to make his costume have armpit piping.

No, the easiest way to break it up is more silver lightning.

I think a lot of DC's problems in the past 30 years are due to not being able to accept Marvel making slightly more money than them. Our thing is doing fine but not quite as well as the competitor's thing? TIME TO CHANGE EVERYTHING!

Trust me, you are taking this a lot more seriously then I am.
It's not like that's a pure creative or fanboy decision though, DC apparently keeps getting fix-it or else ultimatums from the parent company. Warner keeps seeing the meager profit margins and asking "Why are we wasting money on this when we can't even brag about beating Marvel?"

All of DC's current editorial/corporate problems really makes it look like it's still the 60's, where Marvel is just having fun making comics, and the Distinguished Competition is a clumsy corporate machine.

There's so much good stuff in there.

"...so DC sends a space cop with a magic wishing ring and a Robin Hood cosplayer on a trip across the country because one of them didn’t know racism existed and the other didn’t know drugs existed...

There's some demon transformation in the trailer (that's even more like Doom than anything resembling the comic.)
On the other hand they gave him Dex-Starr floating around the whole time, so I'll forgive anything.

The thing about this game is that you're supposed to mix and match armor pieces that you get as random drops from battles.

There's really no way to spin those costumes in a positive way. I can only hope that every character has a classic alt. I know I'm glad that in the first game I was able to play as this Bane:



and not this one:
