Deleted Scenes - DC Reboot: Part VIII: What might had been...


Enough with the actual reboot/relaunch/revampe/whateva of the DCUniverse!
Let's check out some of the designs sketched by Jim Lee that might had been...

Some differences might not be that evident... But others on the other hand...
Funny enough, I find some of these concept arts much better than the actual costumes we'll get in September.
So let's check 'em out:


They even redesigned Jonah Hex and the DC old west universe? I mean, really??
At least with Jonah Hex serial style it won't be that apparent and most artists will skip Jim Lee's suggestions...




O...kay... Animal Man doesn't have a "costume" anymore but this strange look? (3rd pic)
Why didn't they pick the above revamps of this costume?


Nope...still not a fan.
And this above look was too much Stephanie Brown anyway...way to disappoint more fans in one costume.



BOP Black Canary in a new costume closer to the original one (unlike the final version)...Okay...
Katana in her all-new tenth billion variant costume.
'nuff said!



Okay, I like how it looks here, the drawing itself, despite the useless new details added to his classic look.


Aaaah!! Green Arrow all Smallville-ified!!! °___°
The horror! The ugly douche beard! Ahhh!!


This one screams EXTREME!!!90s!!!WOLVERINES!!!


I, Vampire!! Turned all emo/Twilight...
Blah :(


[ Not fan enough of the Legion to add smart comment here]




This trio is so...random.
Anyway, kinda like and hate those.
Jason Todd's official DC's Deadpool now. (have you seen the covers? The mask moves and smiles and stuff...)
Roy Harper looks great!
Starfire's sluttier now...but I love the magma hair in this pic!!



Haaaa!!! Deadshot!! Not you too!!
Harley?! What did they do to you? They replaced you by your evil slutty twin, right?? Right??



Superboy finally gets a costume after a decade of casual superhero-ying.
Supergirl doesn't have Peter Parker skills to make costumes..she even missed a whole spot at knees level.



Okay~
Beside, we can't have a good look at Superman's complete costume here.
The collar.....aah!!


Is that Wally West? Bart Allen? Anyway the above picture could have a good costume if colors were reversed (Red on the top, Yellow bellow). Not a fan of his mohawk on the second one though~



Much better! Much classier! Love those two iterations of Wonder Girl's costume here.
The above one has a sort of Greek/Mythic vibe to it, though not really superhero-ysh. The second one is great and does look Wonder Girly enough. Why did they end up making her into a thief/gypsy take on a Donna Troy-fancharacter??


And that is all~
