Why does she look like she's fallen out of a game circa 2006? They don't have the same budget, but, how can this have been made the same year as this:


Because the folks responsible for the second game are CodeWhisperers.

NRX apparently now have modellers that can make people look like people and not perma-stacked meat mountains , but Injustice seems to be their C-team of interns.

That customizable armor poo poo is going to bead to some rear end-ugly costume cruft.

I like a lot of these elements, but the rear v on his jacket looks off. The ''sunglasses under ski mask'' is pretty shoddy though.

It's a 'realistic' explanation for the ski goggles thing the original Vigilante had on his mask.

That costume's so lazy I wouldn't have even used it on my 15th City of Villains alt I made just to try out some esoteric power combination out of curiosity. And "spinny electric grappling hook whips or something" seems pretty drat esoteric.

Just so we're not constantly making GBS threads on Retrogrape, the costume could look striking as hell with the right art team, if the story lets the character remain mostly in shadow. When the black parts of the costume left mostly undifferentiated from surrounding shadow, you're left with bright pink eyes, the asymmetric blue and white V lines, plus the character's mouth and part of his hands. That could make for some great images of a minimally-defined man-shape fighting/sneaking/otherwise heroing it up in the night.

This is a bland costume in isolation, but maaaaybe it's the right look for the comic it was created for.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

Cause Kick rear end was always subtle.
If there was gonna be another comic/movie anyway, and even if he's banking on a movement, what's not gained by doing that? I probably won't read/see it after KA2, but I'm all for it.

And the new black girl War Machine or whatever too. gently caress Don Cheadle.

White dudes at Marvel trying to do "diversity" for headlines is one thing, Mark "can black people be retarded???" Millar playing that game is another.


Coming back to costumes, what the gently caress is this headsock doing in the year 2016
