Anyway, it seems DC's still unsure about Wonder Woman new look.
In the following picture, it seems they edited her costume since the last time we've seen the cover of the upcoming Wonder Woman #1.
(warning! minor spoiler regarding the end of the "War of the Green Lanterns" story arc!)
Yep, that's right. Back in the star spangled hot pants.
Will this be her actual new design afterall?
UPDATE: Yes it is!
So the cover of Justice League #1 has officially been edited (see above).
And here's another look thanks to the alternate cover:
On a similar note, here's a better look at Barry(?)'s new Flash costume thanks to an ad:
Yuck!
That's quite ugly. Messy. Over charged with random details. It kills The Flash's simplistic (and perfect) design!
Specially compared to the other looks put next to it.
See, I like that retro and modern Barry Allen Flash look on the right column. I like Wally West and Jay Garrick Flash costumes in the middle.
But that new DCnU look on the left is just too plain detailed. It kills that new costume IMO.
And on a similar note, another ad, for Superman shoes showed this interesting composition:
The new costume is the one of the lower left corner.
Is even DC ashamed/afraid of it?
I saw these ads this week, and I was quite frankly amazed at how bad I thought the new "over-detailed" costume looks stood up against the old. However, I was reading comments on iFanboy about the new basketball-inspired Spider-Man movie costume, and I was surprised by all the positive comments about it. Eyz, are we just that out of touch with what the modern teenager considers good design? My college design professors would have failed me in a heartbeat if I had attempted anything like all this overly busy design.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say we're that out of touch. These new costumes don't seem to follow a trend or anything... They're all just so random.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's kinda hard to like any of those when they throw at you so many bad costumes all at once!
But they're pretty bad mostly. They're simply over saturated with details... Even the new Superman one, lacking the red pants. It is a pretty busy look (with all those "modern lines" zipping through the costume, the complicated new S-shield, the collar...)
I'm still surprised they, Jim Lee & co, were able to make some of the simplest and best super hero costumes, Flash and Green Lantern namely, look bad as well.
