Your mom

I actively disliked the arbitrary lines on Batman's chest, so him.
At first hated the Super suit, but through Morrison's Action came to genuinely dig it. Could do with less lines still.
I really like that WW design, Chiang used it to beautiful effect, but hate the collar. It's a sorta cheap random design flourish, seems antithetical to her character for her to be "bound" like that, and makes her less sexy/powerful than a naked neck/chest.

DUDE
LINES

Cyborg

I’m glad Jim Lee gave Wonder Woman curls again. That’s a detail that George Perez was especially loud about. I love how she looks. I genuinely think that making her suit less gold and more silver is much more aesthetically attractive.

Aquaman with his disheveled blond hair looks Chad asf, which is awesome because they barely redesigned him to begin with.

Green Lantern and The Flash look the exact same.

I miss Cyborg not being 90% machine.

Superman and Batman have an assload of unnecessary lines. Plus Superman has those sleeves and the collar. I prefer the Earth 2 Superman design Lee had in mind, that exposed neck is great

GL and Flash have more LINES but they somehow were able to make it work. (Flash had Manabooch do the reveal the suit is panels in the ring that come together and I guess GL get's a pass bc the ring is magic so it can look however)

I’m not a fan of Supergirl’s crotch shield.

I miss Cyborg not being a mother box McGuffin.

Short skirt wasn’t exactly great either.

Worst is without a doubt Superman. It's not even that bad of a design on its own but it's so unfitting for such an iconic character and just makes you look sad and pathetic and desperate to make the character appeal to dumbasses, it's going to age as poorly as the Super Mullet.

Second is Flash, again they took a really good, iconic costume and put dumb shit all over it for no reason. What's especially bad is they're STILL using it despite how ugly and dumb it is. It's like taking Spider-Man's costume and putting a bunch of little spikes on it that light up when he shots web.

Cyborg is awful because it's such a violation of what the character is about and makes him just look like a robot with a human face stapled on. There have been much better redesigns.

I really hate Wonder Woman's but I have to give Lee credit for not just doing fucking armor or pants. It at least looks like Wonder Woman even if the colors are off. I can understand why people like it even if I don't.

New 52 Lobo was the worst redesign, Power Girl is a close second. Also I'm not a big fan of the Shazam changes, very clunky and a bit too complicated. The classic look is clean and dynamic.

Yeah the Shazam changes are probably the worst. Which is one reason why Thunderworld was refreshing. RIP Cameron Stewart gone but not forgotten

Are you referring to the costume that barely changed (if at all) from her previous incarnation or the full white bodysuit that actually had a crest?

>I really hate Wonder Woman's but I have to give Lee credit for not just doing fucking armor or pants. It at least looks like Wonder Woman even if the colors are off. I can understand why people like it even if I don't.
originally he put Diana in pants

The full white body suit, damn that is a shitty design.

Sandman got fucked. But the best New 52 look by far was Jonah Hex.

I honestly prefer Wonder Woman with armor and pants, like Injustice’s version or the late New 52 look when she was the God of War.

I think even the original design when they finally covered her chest looks a little better than that.

I know, but they had the sense to get rid of them before release. Dunno whose decision it was I guess, maybe not Lee since his Odyssey design had her in pants too.

The Earth 2 costumes were pretty bad across the board.

Really? I liked Huntress’ and maybe Val-Zod’s. Not Garrick’s or Scott’s, though.

What!? I loved his art on Thunderworld too. Didn’t know he died. RIP

it was the fan demand , I remember of a minor controversy

I get that the boob window will always be the definitive Peeg costume, but I liked the boat neck she sported in Infinity Inc.

People need to stop drawing Flash with actual eyes. Its white out like Batman or nothing. The suit looks so bad with eyes.

Helena Wayne had a good look there, too.

I don't really count Huntress because it's so close to traditional Huntress. I flip flop on Val's suit. Sometimes I think I like it and sometimes I think it's a bit bland. Alan's costume was a bit boring and Jay's was a hot mess. The Atom like like a midget G.I. Joe figure.

Do you remember Dick’s Batman suit?

Batman, Hal and Wondy looked fine. Aquaman is a hard kinda.

pic related hands down
but the New 52 was mostly good with costumes, shit really hit the fan during DCYou

I loved this look for Raven!

It's not the worst but it's completely uninspired and she never fully recovered to this day, so it deserves to be mentioned

ftfy

Zatanna’s original look was definitely more flashy and suited her character, especially the top hat.

I mean, you aren’t wrong...

I kinda want to see Superman with the New 52 costume and the mullet now.

I dropped the title before it got that far, but I just googled it and what the actual fuck

Exactly.

Zero Year is one of my favorite Batsuits
