Looking forward to the gritty, dark, mature reboot of this costume:



Also while researching this I discovered that Divatox was played by the same actress who played Jadzia Dax on Deep Space Nine which is something I would never have figured out on my own in a million years :shrug:

By the way CW's Flash introduced Black Siren (the Earth-2 version of Black Canary who is dead or something convoluted) and I thought it was very classy, with just the right amount of reminder of Black Canary's original showgirl-esque costume:

I kind of suspect the artist started from DAZ/Poser figures and modeled all that crap around them, which only exaggerates their basic wonky anatomy. Aside from that yeah those are just way too drat busy, like the robot designs in Michael Bay's Transformers movies.

That's straight from the show, though, each one is themed after their own unique dinosaur. It works a lot better when the outfits aren't so busy, it gets lost among the greebles here.

Lost Among the Greebles would be a fabulous title for a documentary film/book on this poo poo.

Bay's transformers didn't look like anything but they weren't the audience appeal characters, more like giant talking disasters or something. And they didn't have glowing plastic boobs either.

The problem with that sort of costume/character design is that it generally is really awesome to look at in stills (at least when done well):



... but not so much when it's animated, your brain has no time to get a grip on what it's seeing so you have a gigantic clusterfuck of visual gibberish.

Dacap is right, they should have kept Aquaman half dressed. They did this during the New52 initial launch too, though WW had pants in that, she was still the only one in the entire lineup with more than her face exposed. Oh, and Superman's hands.

Suicide Squad being 3/3 exposed midriffs on the female characters (who show up in marketing materials) actually made me laugh it's so predictable.

I have a theory and that theory is that Zack Snyder sucks real bad.

Hollywood CG artists are way too much in love with greebly bullshit, it makes things like the Transformers film character designs impossible to really look at and have it not be gibberiish because there's just wayyyyyyyyyyyy too much pointless detail for the sake of pointless detail.

I mean I guess I can't blame the artists themselves, more the director/designer that demands that kind of poo poo.

The gimmick is the original character submerges herself in a bathtub full of muck (blood I suppose) and comes out looking like that permanently.



Also there are stink waves but I like the stink waves.

I don't get the hate for the movie outfit anyway. It's not as bad as "DC why the gently caress are you still putting the Japanese flag on her head?" Katana outfit they ran with. They wanted Harley and the Joker to look trashy, and they succeeded. Nothing really mystical about it.

Probably because the other characters are so uninteresting by comparison that they don't provoke a lot of comment. Katana looks terrible, yeah, but there's not a lot else to say beyond that. Harley Quinn/Robbie are more "OMG look at those hotpants SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE rear end FOR THAT" and "Those jailhouse tattoos are SO BADLY DONE" vs. "Oh hey that guy sure is wearing a baggy overcoat, huh, how about that"

I'm pretty sure if you're already a pro wrestler with a steady gig you'd have to be out of your mind to walk away from that and try to get into acting unless you are super, super charismatic like The Rock is, because getting paid a steady check is pretty great.

This one is :krad: because it splits the difference between "sexy", "comics-functional", and "vampiric." The short-cloak aspect screams "vampire" while being vaguely reminiscent of a hero cape/duster, and the red/white color screams "atypical."

I do actually like it yeah, I didn't give it enough credit because the style disagrees with me but it's a good design imo.

I am actually ok with Wonder Woman (wedges aside). Given the actual look of ancient greek armor would include things like sculpted pecs/abs and belly buttons, I think the bodice is in theme. I do wish that they had made it come all the way up to her shoulders/neck so that it more closely mirrored the look, though. I'd also prefer her skirt to be longer/more armored, but again it actually copies the hoplite look reasonably well.

A hard armor bodice/bustier that goes up under the armpits is really uncomfortable/downright painful. I mean I agree it looks kind of hot but I feel sorry for Gail Gadot, wearing that.
