    Especially then. Besides, even when they do nothing, they still do something.

    Sure Booster Gold's goggles give him infrared and magnified vision, but even if they didn't, they'd still keep like, dust or gnats from blowing into his eyes on windy days.

    I am strangely pleased by the Supergirl with hairband, capris and sensible slip-on shoes look. It looks so much more comfortable than most superhero costumes.

    Booster wears his goggles as a courtesy, so that his female teammates don't get lost in his eyes.

    And all they do is talk about how Power Girl is such a slut and having an affair with Captain Atom and how Giganta got a boob job. And Superman's kids better not play soccer. They play American Football! They throw passes so hard it causes internal bleeding! USA! USA!

    Going back to the Star Sapphire debate, is that Kanjar Ro? Cuz i've noticed that if the Pink Lanterns take someone who already has a "costume", like Fatality, it just alters it a little. So if it's him then that may explain it.

    The article was sucking the fun out of superhero costumes. It was asking for it.

    He's missing something in the link there. Looking at it, I imagine he wanted to link Movie Odin, Loki and Thor.

    Yeah, I prefer the animated version to the normal version. He looks way cooler, and he was actually designed to be a permanent antagonist to the items instead of just being thrust into that role.

    Just after I'd finished inking it, my then-girlfriend asked, "Why's his left arm all screwy?"

    Cue me glancing at my little wooden maquette and realizing I'd fucked up the shoulder/arm relationship. Now that's all I can see when I look at it. The ostrich head's pretty goofy looking too, but in my defense, it's hard to find photo reference from that angle.

    But thanks!

    Gotta agree with this, too. He just looks more intimidating and mysterious. Frankly, I like a lot of what they did in the TT cartoon, costume and character design-wise. Starfire was especially nice, as I never liked her creepy all-green eyes in the comics.

    You know what, all of the Teen Titans looked cooler in the cartoon, I don't understand why they don't just rip that. They made Raven a teenager again, but they gave her the constant hoodie and the long dress and no sleeves. Starfire has her big, 80s hair most of the time and Beast Boy is ... old? I don't know. He hasn't popped up as much.

    Project Rooftop put up the results of their most recent costume design contest, this time for Captain America.

    I don't really care for the winner. While it's a damn fine piece of illustration, the helmet just looks goofy, and the jacket detracts from the iconic stripes on his torso. On the other hand, I really like the second and third place winners, as well as the entry by Stefan Grambart.
