I like WW with a cape. She seems more warrior-ish and less show girl-ish.

>>85214088

Looks like it would restrict her range of motion too much.

>>85214262
I never would have imagined I'd like Wonder Woman with a cape, but they totally sold me on it, it looks fantastic.

>>85214304
No. That is pretty light armor. Hell wearing full plate armor knights could dance or do handstands.

Also It is a lot more practical then looking like she is having a day at the beach.

>>85214088
There has never been anything wrong with Wondy wearing actual armor. Her usual costume is the dumbest.

It's hard for me to pick a batsuit, but pre armor AK bats didn't look half bad

Batman doesn't need trunks area highlighted.

Superman doesn't need red Trunks

I like golden/silver age Black Canary's hair better than any modern styles

>>85213977
>Superman: Don't care as long as he has red underwear.
Same. This is why I hate his MoS and N52 costumes. The same goes for Batman.

This. Armor only restricts you if it's severely ill fitting. Truthfully, I think WW should go full Hoplite, but altered slightly to make it look clearly WW.

>>WW: Taller than average (probably taller than Superman at least), curly hair, decently muscular, Greek nose.

This. Also, the skirt needs to stay. The cape ain't bad either.

>>85214466
>Her usual costume is the dumbest.

I hear ya, Anon-brother. It's dumb because it's in the middle of things that would make sense. If her armor serves a point, she should be actually *armored*. If she's invulnerable and a true warrior (not crippled by modesty), she should fight naked.

Her usual costume both restricts movement and provides little protection, combining the worst of both worlds.

You don't want a tiny, adorable WW?

>>85213977
Superman: Definitely strong looking but not totally built. I mean he would be pretty strong looking with all the moving and heavy lifting he does but there's almost no way to REALLY train his body

Batman: He should have a mix of looking really fucking imposing and also agile so I'm not sure what that would like.

Wonder Woman: Not giantess tall but at least as tall as Batman/Superman. And she shouldn't be body build big since she has Super strength but she should for sure look like she gets A LOT of exercise.

Flash: He should have a slim athletic build. Never liked generic super hero buff Flash

Hal GL: Nothing special but a guy who you call tell exercise regularly.

Brubaker-era Catwoman had the purrfect look. Thankfully her costume hasn't changed much, but I do miss the open boots. I also like it when she has a bit of hair peeking out of her headgear. Also love the goggles and short hair.

Why is DC obsessed with Aquaman being clean shaven lately? It looks horrible. He should have facial hair. Same with Green Arrow.

>>85216572
Fuck that she should be at least six foot 2 minimum.

>>85213977
Time for a bit of a rant. One thing I have in my head is if a character has superhuman strength, that is the function of their power has little to nothing to do with the laws of physics, there's no need for them to have muscles.

In cases like Superman and Hulk I can excuse it since there's some hand wave about cells getting juiced by radiation, but think more like how Bendis made Molly Hayes a hulking giant because he figured super strength meant she should be a hulking giant. Even though her express mutant power is tactile telekinesis which allowed her even as a frail child to exert enormous force as she pleased.

On another note I've always felt if a character is going to wear armor, don't shape it to look like washboard abs and pecs >>85215298, especially if the pieces are rigid and don't serve any functional purpose. It just makes the person look like a chode.

Technically, Superman doesn't need anything, which is part of the whole problem. . . Most superheroes aren't really designed practically. (e.g., Superman's strength doesn't come from his muscles, so why is he always drawn so buff?)

As for WW. I, personally, think she should be a little bulkier. Probably built like an Olympic Grecko-Roman wrestler, but tall, like Barda. She was born, raised, and trained with warrior women; her physique should definitely reflect it.

Definitely this Harley.

Ivy I have different feelings on. DCAU Ivy was made a womanlet to make her cherub-like, but I prefer her taller than Harley and tall generally. I don't mind the green skin, but I like when it's a subtler thing like pic related.

Catwoman I like the current standard Darwyn Cooke suit, but
>I like the zipper up if she's doing anything
>I really like the Arkham Asylum bio picture where she has the goggles AND the domino mask part of her cowl
I'd have her around Ivy's height.

In terms of breast size, which is what we all care about,

Ivy > Selina > Harley

>>85217430
Couldn't care less what she wears since Kori going nude would work for me, but that hair has to go. Looks like a bloody hairball Dex-Starr coughed up.

You have no taste. Its the best part of her design other than her eyes

>>85217306
If Batman wants armor to protect his torso, then several smaller plates work better than one large piece. Abs still look weird, but hey

>>85217388
ive always felt that. while barda is generally around 7 feet + wondy should be shorter than her, like 6'3"-6'5"

This is the best Batman design, by far. You can disagree with me, but just know that you are wrong.

>>85218703
I guess practicality is sort of irrelevant in a fictional setting like Batman, but I've always preferred the long ears because they help distort his height and appearance even more.
