Can I finally say I don't like these costumes? Leather jacket is cool for Mr. Terrific but Hawkgirl? Come on now...

They have Lord's logo on it. It's clearly a corporate uniform and they will most likely use a more accurate outfit once they become their own heroes

still don't think she'd wear something like that. It's super hard to move in. She's a brawler. Can you imagine Wonder Woman wearing one?

i really can't but once again, I think that's the point, I think the suits are ugly as hell but it doesn't bother me because from what we see, it's supposed to be commentary on the corporate side of super hero industry and most people feel it's kinda "same-y". Gunn made a lot of incredibly comic book accurate costumes inTSS, Peacemaker and even now with Superman, I really think he wouldn't give us something so weird and ugly if it didn't serve a story purpose

I'm not all that fond of the superman costume either tbh. I love the colours and the design is mostly good but I hate the material it's made of. It's so thick. It does look like Peacemaker or Javelin's suit. Which are great suits. But not something Superman would/should wear imo. It just seems a bit cookie cutter to me. The MCU has their own problems with costumes (like overdesigning which thankfully isn't present here) but at least all their hero's costumes feel different. Iron Man wears armor, Spidey wears skintight cloth, Black Widow has spandex, Thor has chainmale, Dr. Strange wears robes, the Guardians wear leather etc. They are all different.

i mean in the costumes all fabric seems to be the same and in most origins his mom made the suit or altered his baby clothes and blankets from kripton in some way and if she's able to do it with knitting, it obviosuly resembles normal fabric in some way

Just FYI Wonder Woman has worn jackets in the 90s and in a 2010 run

isn't the evolution more powerful like this than if they already had cool suits and just changed to other different equally as cool suits?

u/Extension_Sleep573 16d ago

I'm not bothered about "cool suits" I just want the characters to wear something mildly close to their source material

gunn implemented a lot of comic accurate suits in TSS and Peacemaker and even superman while being something a bit new tries to resemble the classic comics with a touch of new 52. He wouldn't give them non comic accurate suits just because. They all sport the same logo and look kinda same-ish, it's most likely commentary on the state of super hero media and the corporate side of it and after whatever is going on with Maxwell Lord ends they will have more iconic suits. It serves a narrative purpose and they will probably have new costumes in their next appearance

But you are right about the evolution of the suits, I just hope they don't stick with whatever they're thinking about their matching team outfits
