New Superman Logo

See?



That's how Wonder Woman is supposed to look...like some exotic Mediterranean tough-looking Amazonian beauty...not like the last skinny wannabe plastic shopping mall Barbie doll in that failed Wonder Woman pilot.

I forgot how cool that was. It's heroic, iconic, contemporary and still retains elements of the past that continues her legacy.

I thought Jim Lee's DC Universe online Wonder Woman costume was terrific, and I'm really not sure why they wouldn't go with something like this.

^^^Ugh.

I can't see, under any possible circumstance, how a cgi suit is necessary or how it won't completely suck. Martha Kent sewed the suit for her son, she didn't create it with Photoshop. Maybe they can motion capture a spit curl too...

She's totally been taking night classes at the local community college!

Scott,

I thought of that. Makes me ill. From what i read, Snyder indicated they would likely use motion capture and CGI for the costume like Green Lantern. Johns and Lee are having a press conference June 11 at a film festival in LA prior to a showing of Superman and Superman II. They could be revealing the costume.

Sobering thought: What if this is a preview of the new Superman movie costume...

[The Toyroom]

I find it strange that a 5-issue event like Flashpoint is going to serve as the starting point for a new DCU...especially when they've had previous attempts like Infinite Crisis and Final Crisis recently which failed to do just that..

The costumes aren't the reason comic books aren't selling. And changing them won't help.

Does anyone believe that a person who has never read a comic book in their life really cares about costume changes and tweaks to the origin of 50 characters, most of which they have never heard of?

I don't smoke cigarettes. Not interested, never have been. But changing the color or designs on the packs or even tweaking the flavor isn't going to make me start buying the product because I don't smoke and I'm not going to start.

Did Wonder Woman's sales shoot through the roof with Lee's redesigned costume?

90 percent or more of what the general public knows about the few DC characters that have risen to its collective attention is the costumes, maybe more.

Nothing absolutely nothing was wrong with Superman or Wonder Woman's costumes. The battle with Batman was lost with the 1989 movie, but all versions at least retained the cape and cowl.

I wonder how much these changes, particularly in Superman, have to do with the copyright lawsuit with the Siegle and Shuster families. Heck if DC is going to crap on the character, I hope the families take their portion of the character to a competitor and do Superman right.

Making this announcement one issue into Flashpoint really doesn't do much for the mini series or its spawn. Doesn't the announcement just say, hey kids take the next three month off from buying our comics and we'll see you back when school starts.

Somewhere along the line in the last few years, Lee has lost his mojo. It's evident. With him not doing this on a daily basis and concentrating on the online game, he's really out of touch in soime respects. It would have been more of a challenge to draw the JLA in their traditional costumes and keep them fresh and relevant, so he took an easy road by creating his own versions which cannot be compared to any prior concepts. He seriously took a shortcut here that was not necessary.

Keep in mind this is coming from a Jim Lee fan. He's just lost it and may never get it back. I think maybe Frank Miller infected him with a has-been virus.

[The Toyroom]

Sincerly wasn't meant as bait Dane...I'm not a Jim Lee hater by no means...I just really think that having him be the "go-to" guy for costume redesigns lately isn't paying off for me personally. It looks like he's phoning it in and in most cases there is nothing wrong with these costumes to begin with...

[The Bat]

Just wanted to add that I think Jim Lee is becoming a hack when it comes to costume design...Say what you want about some of George Perez' designs but he still has the chops moreso than Lee IMO...

I'm not taking the Bait.

[GaryPlaysWithDolls]

That Nicholas Cage monstrosity makes me feel like you feel when you ALMOST get hit in traffic and for a second your kinda shakey. "Oh, crap, what just almost happened?"

These crap suits won't last....They have too much tied up in merchandising to f' with Superman's suit too much...
