A Costume Thread! Or: How Black Canary became a tasteless whore (NSF56k)
(This is a Servo-approved thread. All hail Servo.)
COSTUMES.
I think we can all agree that they are pretty important to super hero kind. How could Batman and co. strike fear into the hearts of criminals dressed like this?
They couldn't, that's how! That Batwoman is fabulous though. Loving the crimson utility purse.
Basically, this is a thread to discuss super hero costumes. What's better, Black Canary's JLI, shoulder pad days, or her modern "I like to get screwed in bar bathrooms" look? (Okay, but seriously, how is this the person that the Justice League of America is putting forth as their leader?) Which of Spider-Man's multitudinous costumes is your favorite? Why is a variation of blue the Batman standard instead of black, like the movies and animated series portray? Do we like those versions?
So yeah, let's talk costumes. Post your favorites and such. Perhaps we even chat about some favorite fan creations, like the stuff posted by our good friends at Project Rooftop.
Some of my favorite costumes ever include:
Dr. Fate
The Original Batman
The Classic Yellow 'n Blue Wolverine
And, of course:
The Hulk
Man, costumes sure are swell. Let us share in their glory. Together.
kate spencer has one of the better women's costumes, i think
i also really like the ya hawkeye's costume (exposed midriff aside)
edit- for that matter, i think regular hawkeye's costume is cool too, even though it totally shouldn't be. all purple with a big "H" on the forehead and wing lenses?
Manhunter is probably the only female character to have a practical costume in comics. Just about every other one goes around with their tits hanging out or in 8 inch stelletos or fetish costumes.
would be my favorite Black Canary costume. but didn't it have pants at one point? if so, i liked it better with pants.
female super hero costumes are mostly just dumb
Yeah, during most of the Dixon days on BoP, Black Canary had pants. Then Simone and Benes took the book over, Canary went back to Fishnets, and Huntress started running around with a bare stomach, which is pretty much a big neon sign saying, "Shoot me right here!" God, I hate Huntress' slutty costume.
The costume itself is really plain, but I've always loved Nate Grey's look after that timeskip thingy on the X-books
Tom Noir's getup is pretty funky too. Most of th Guns' outfits are pretty awesome, but Tom's is by far my favourite.
Also, I love the way Stjepan Sejic draws the Witchblade's armour. He's one of the few artists that are able to make it look not-ridiculous
I just loved the fact that his costume was functional rather than simply spandex pajamas.
Deadpool, on the other hand, is all about the pajamas, but the pattern is just really great. You wouldn't know he was a goofy dweeb until he started talking.

What's the story behind the hoodie? Was it really cold?

Yeah that's Johnny Gallo but it's the best image you're gonna get.
Then it just kind of stuck
hey, what's this from? is it good?
It's from What If? Spider-Man VS Wolverine, and it was pretty entertaining as far as What If? comics go.

none of that navy blue condom shit
It's almost impossible to make Zatanna not pretty; you'd have to be actively trying to screw up.
Spoilered for hugeness.
One more.

Are you saying that Disco-Nightwing is not sharp

Ultron's technically naked, but I think it's worth pointing out that I love the design for his head.
