Justice League Let's Talk Costumes?

What's with all the ripping everyone's doing on Cap's costume in this thread? It gets much, MUCH more hate than it deserves. The only thing wrong with it, design wise, is the helmet... the ONLY thing. Everyone complaining about the colorfulness or the material makes me facepalm so hard. Are you trying to tell me this looks bad?:

Because to me this is one of the best costume adaptions I've seen in a comic book movie, bested only by Iron Man's easy-to-look-good armor, Superman's MOS costume and Thor's new costume in TDW. It also looks how Captain America SHOULD look.
 
I'd just give Cap's current costume the helmet from First Avenger, just made a tad thinner.
 
I personally like the TFA suit better, but I'm a guy who realizes he favors the bulkier suits for Batman, Captain America, and others.

So when I think of Batman, I want them to keep the modern-day-knight look going for him, heavy on the armor but with maybe even more crumple zone areas like chain-mail for greater flexibility and a slimmer suit overall. Still very high-tech, and I even think you could integrate the eye white look as a tech thing, like detective vision or even the sonar stuff from TDK.

Wonder woman I think could use a more anachronistic design. Instead of trying to emulate old armor with a new look, why not give her a modified suit of Hoplite armor, cut in emulation of her classic costume, keeping the battle skirt and maybe having something like one metal shoulder strap on her torso armor. You can still decorate it, but try and make sure it looks like metal as opposed to plastic.

I want to see someone try and just use scale mail as Aquaman's arm or skip the shirt all together and go for a version of the 90's look, complete with hook hand.
 
Superman: MOS.

Green Lantern: The suit from the movie was perfect. They just need to make it out of real materials next time. The mask could be tweaked.

Wonder Woman: I think we're all familiar with JMC's design. Just give her actual boots.

Aquaman: The classic outfit is fine. Just ditch the gloves. I'd also consider losing the shoes.

Flash: Classic outfit.

Batman: The classic outfit. Get rid of the briefs, darken the gray, and make the whole thing out of durable looking fabric.

That's a pretty cool version-- very Masters of the Universe.

I think Wonder Woman could wear multiple costumes in the movie. She could have something really advanced and awesome, and then wear the original style costume with the short shorts as a disguise in a costume party type scene (that leads into her having to fight while wearing the red, white, and blue).

The classic style costumes will be easier to realize in my opinion if the film takes place in the 50s/60s.
 
For Superman, MOS.

For Batman, New 52 made with the Captain America materials.

For Wonder Woman, classic all the way.

For Hal, easily the New 52 costume.

Basically all of this!
 
Thanks!

I posted that awhile back but those are the costumes I want.
 
I can see them doing a Wolverine and changing the Flash costume. I don't want them to, mind.
 
You people who ask for WW to wear the classic panties.. Seriously?!
 
..or skirt, if it's well done. But the panties? Live action? yeah, no.
 
Well I rather she have the skirt in her solo movie. I prefer she be established and have pants in JL.
 
What does that even mean?

Seriously I saw people throwing "too busy" around all the time and I just don't understand. You probably like plain and boring suits, right?
It was too wrinkly and had too many pockets. It didn't have the classic symbolism.
 
I think the classic designs work as a starting point. Spider-man clearly showed us that using certain materials in certain ways can be the difference between something you find in a halloween store and something that looks very badass.

I loathe Wonder womans costume. It's just a male fantasy and nothing more. Give her a skirt at least. I'd prefer pants. I think Wonder Womans could clearly see that issue with her clothing riding up her ass. Also it's solves the problem of that happening for the actress. I have seen costumes for wonder woman where the boobs aren't barely covered. They are mostly covered but you still get the shape. I was very disappointed that DC chose sexualizing Wonder woman over making her legitimate. Wonder Woman can still be sexy but can be someone who doesn't look like a stripper.

Green lantern. I actually had no problem with the suit except that they didn't need to CGI it. Keep the design but make it an actual costume with an actual mask and cgi the lighting(though easier to just do what they did on Tron Legacy). Though I could potentially see the costume being a different color on set(again like tron probably just white) so not to screw with green/blue screen.


Everyone else is just a texture thing. Also if a mans penis bulge is such a problem then I would be fine if they had the shirt or something loose cover the area.


But overall we gotta remember that these are costumes/uniforms. There is not need to lie about it or hide the fact. Martian Manhunter isn't wearing the wardrobe of his people. Diana isn't wearing armor that just happens to be colorful. It's colorful because it's designed to stand out. People don't point and laugh at these guys because in those costumes these people are tearing tanks apart.

Yes.
 
The WW movie i envisioned is alot more Sci-Fi than fantasy so i think Wonder Woman should stay clear of the iconic costume in the comics and go with something original, No Armor Skirts and Panties with stars. Everything needs to be modern with Themyscira, Magic with very advanced technology in buildings and weapons without the greek weaponry swords, shields and armory it needs to be more advanced with a touch of magic. I think the pants idea with WW is a step forward ill even go for a full armored high tech costume. Wonder Womans costume i think was always going to be the hardest for movies because it was made for comics and cartoons but very hard to accept in a movie because it just didnt look right.

I like this pic its a step forward and its something i would see the woman from Themyscira wear plus evangeline lilly is in it and shes my choice for WW XD.

Yeah...no thanks, I prefer something more like this, in a world completely filled with magic and fantasy, gods and demons, all that good stuff. I think most would agree.
