Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Please take my advice.
The lines all over Flash's boots are what really stick out. Superman's boots look really weird too.
I dunno, that's more like a handful of bicycle streamers away from the Ultimate Warrior.
Wolverine, by Sam Bosma.
I've always thought Wolverine's claws looked kind of doofy when drawn really long and thin. It just makes them look kind of fragile and weak. I much prefer this interpretation, where they actually look like knives. It looks like he wouldn't claw you, so much as punch you to death. I'm also digging the general scruffiness, and compact body type.
Then there's She-Hulk, by Scott Wegener.
Aside from just being a cool drawing, I really like it when She-Hulk isn't drawn to look like a waif. Wegener states he was specifically drawing inspiration from Juan Bobillo's interpretation, which I was also a big fan of. Like Wegener's, Bobillo's She-Hulk always had wide shoulders, and big, powerful arms. She wasn't just a normally proportioned woman, with a few inches of added height. She actually looked like she gained muscle mass, the same way the normal Hulk did.

I like the added emphasis on the yellow, and pared down design. In my mind, this is what redesigns for the New DCU should have been. Less superfluous seams and lines, and more blocky, simplified designs.
He draws a pretty mean Metamorpho and Hourman, too.

If I remember the pages of the books I've read correctly, most of the detail is only on the covers and close-ups. For most "use" panels, the general shape is all that remains, which is pretty typical.
Yeah, but then the artist is being lazy! I am sort of kidding, but if the costume's accepted as having all of those details, and then someone chose not to draw them...
Then it scales better?
Orange socks.
Every statement concerning the Question's costume should end with "orange socks."
That it is my favorite reference and every incarnation should have them.
Though the great art might have something to do with that.
it is very paramilitary but that isn't instantly 90s nor a bad thing
Hawkeye is a dude who is running with a bow and arrow and basically being a superspy, especially now that he is leading the Secret Avengers. I love his classic suit but is goofy as hell and his new one fits his current direction way more
Steaaaaaaam
and again, I disagree on the realism point
but the costume is pretty much Ultimate Hawkeye's costume which isn't super 90s at all

Food? I guess maybe a snack bar in case he needs some energy during a long fight with Kang or whoever. Maos? I don't think he really needs them, the Quinjet has guidance systems and so on. Radio? He already has his Avengers communicard (or are the Avengers too cool for that any more).
From what I can tell a lot of the pouches on military webbing is used to store ammunition. And Hawkeye already has a quiver for that. So really, that doesn't make much sense.
Plus, it follows the extremely lazy design convention of all black + one color on the chest.
Really though, I just like Hawkeye's normal costume a lot, especially the recent Heroic Age redesign.

Maybe the arrows are modular, so he can carry around a shitton of every type of arrow he needs int the form of heads without carrying that many arrows.
