I dunno, it looks to me like Mon-El recently lost a bunch of weight, and hasn't bothered replacing his clothes.

I don't think the Animal Man costume is bad per se, but I do think it has a lot of orange, and Animal Man is blonde, and what I'm getting at is it looks really close to Aquaman's costume. Sure you can make it all weird, but to me I just see fins on Aquaman and think "Man Aquaman is being really heavyhanded with this King of the Sea motif"

Hasn't Animal Man had an orange costume for most of his history?

I thought Peter was just going to be Miles' Master Splinter in the All New All Different Marvel Now! world?

It's kind of a cop out to make such a hullabaloo over Miles being the One True Spider-Man if Peter Parker is still running around in tights, starring in the same book he's had since the 60s.

Then it's probably a good thing no one was doing that. No one who matters, anyway.

It seems hosed up to change vampirella's costume. It'd be like Elvira, mistress of the dark, changing into some goth hot topic stuff.

Plus that design is pretty bad.

I'd say it's less "changing Vampirella's costume," and more "giving her an actual goddamn costume." The only justification I can think of for keeping her "classic" look would be if the comic is basically just gothy porn. Yes, I am putting it in the same category as Tarot.

I feel like the logo on her back is trying to find a way to not be a knock-off Bat-family insignia, while treading dangerously close to Phoenix's emblem. I started to check if there was any past logos that would set a precedence, but ...no.. I-I guess not.

She's had that logo since her early days, I think. It's on the old costume.

Edit: This got me thinking that all of the movie costumes, atleast for the avengers films, kind of suck. Thor's in particular really gets to me:

What a hot mess of lines and panels. The torso section is dark and narrow, with that odd metal(?) V that really doesn't look like it'd be much use as armor, and then we have a 3 part loin cloth hanging out down there. The floating, off the shoulders cape looks pretty absurd, too--Hemsworth is a big guy, but it shrinks him. Also, bare hands, why? If Cap's duds can be Ultimates-influenced, why not Thor's? Always thought that costume was crazy clean looking and perfect for a modern take on the character.

Ah well.

Pretty sure you're alone on this one. That costume owns.

Legit thought Velma was meant to be a small person

Yeah, I assumed Velma was supposed to be the same age as everyone, just kind of tiny and crouching a bit. It's understandably confusing though, because that picture is terrible in so many ways.

If they had made those lights on his costume into portals that lead into him and it had a burning effect inside, showing he is the Nuclear Man, I think that could be a good look. Otherwise, he's kinda "Any future hero ever" in that costume. I could see Captain Atom in that or something. Or any hero named some light word.

I immediately thought of The Ray.

It is not about keeping track of the character within his surroundings, it's about keeping track of what the character is doing. Spiderman is wearing patterns of bright blue and red all over his body, so if he's, say, crouching mid jump and you have the camera facing him on certain angles he runs the risk of becoming a big mess of reds and blues instead of registering to the player as a figure in mid - jump. That's the theory behind it anyway! I only saw the trailer once. I'm just talking about it as a design principle, to suggest a reason why the suit might have a big white spider on the torso. I also like design, so I find this kind of medium/media specific design factor really interesting.

Bayonetta is a good example of this design principle. Her outfit is all black but her guns (on her hands and feet) are bright red, so the player can read her animations easily (because they can always tell where her hands and feet are).

That wasn't a problem 12 years ago, why would it be a problem now?

12 years ago resolutions were much lower, textures were less realistic, and sprites were often the only moving part on the screen?

I don't see how higher resolution and better textures would make that worse.

The red doesn't go down the legs on Spider-Man's normal costume.

Here's a very bad edit in photoshop I made instead of working just now.

I also made the white on his arms red while I was at it.

I still don't like the weird segmented parts on his outfit, it reminds me of those awful New 52 outfits.

Isn't this basically Ben Reilly's suit?

That only worked because Reeve was physically flawless and lower film quality covered up a lot of imperfections in the costume.

Yes they could make an animated movie and shop Henry Cavills face on it I suppose.

Nah, they're right. It wouldn't be that hard. I will maintain that 1970s film quality is the only reason that Reeve's costume specifically worked, but there's a lot of ground between actual spandex and basketball material/segmented rubber armour.

IMO that's about as buff as Superman should get. He doesn't need to be a body-builder because he doesn't need to lift weights for strength. A beefy farm-boy, sure, but not Mr. Olympian.

It's also worth keeping in mind that the Superman of the 70s was not the Superman of today. He started getting more and more jacked sometime around the late 90s, and I couldn't say he has any consistent build now, because there's a lot more variation in art styles these days. Either way, Reeve was on point for the Superman of his day.

And yes, he was loving brilliant in the role. He's the only actor I know of who could effectively play Superman and Clark as two entirely different characters just by changing his facial expression.
