The Flash costumes don't have a lot of variation but... I like Barry's when done by modern artists

There really hasn't been as many costume changes in DC. At least not ones that I felt were an improvement to the original.

You know Kubert didn't start that right?

Anyway, I liked the Batman Beyond suit.

Booster Gold's alternate costume (that most people don't even remember) was pretty sweet looking.

I know Kubert didn't start it, but he draws a damn good Batman

[The Spirit]

not necassarily an alternate costume but a blend forming a new character.

composite superman!

[Regulator]

Black Canary's early BoP suit is way better than the fishnets. Although to go with the word black, they could recolor it ... just no fishnets.

*edit* and no jacket

[hadez]

Yeah, Composite Superman ROCKS!!!!

Some I have liked:

Earth 2 Robin

Better ... than ... fishnets. Better ... than ... fishnets. Better ... than ... fishnets.

Sorry, mate: I tried, but I still can't make sense out of that. :)

[Supreme Convoy]

I love Kingdom Come's Red Arrow. Even though it's pretty much Roy ripping off Ollie's suit, it still kicks ass.

[mrorangesoda]

I like Wonder Woman's armored mode and the 70s caped Zatanna look.

Just a few of my favorites where there were multiple costumes to pick from...

[diana_fan]

http://jerome.galica.free.fr/dc%20comics/legion/JR-LaurelK3.gif




First, who is that? (Laurel Kent? Legion, right?) And beyond that, what in the HELL is she wearing? :)

[Alexander Knox]

Tim Drake's new getup is an improvement over the old Robin costume, which itself was a VAST improvement on the original.

There we go, we have a winner.
:D

[khuxford]

LOL yeah...I don't know...it is basically some sort of cape/throw...but it is the best of all her costumes and was done reasonably tastefully in the actual run of Legion that it appeared in.

[Regulator]

Better ... than ... fishnets. Better ... than ... fishnets. Better ... than ... fishnets.

Sorry, mate: I tried, but I still can't make sense out of that. :)

Sorry, mate, but they look dumb. I don't get titillated over drawings and that's the only real reason anyone would like them.

[khuxford]

I'd have to say I agree on this. Not that I won't take part in a "who is the hottest comic book female" fanboy discussion. I just don't go looking through my comic books for hotness on a regular basis.

I don't know. I prefer the one with the green in it. Just red and black together is just so "blah".

[Skyrider]

I tend to agree, but I can accept this version. It suits Tim's mood atm and they can always go back and make the gloves, shorts, and boots green again and the whole thing would rock.

Take yourself quite seriously, do you?

Jesus. It was a freakin' joke. Chill the f*ck out.

Okay d_f...you seriously need to cut back on your 'visits' to your local neighborhood hooker(s).

[MoneyMelon]

I think I like the Kingdom Come Superman the best. I really love that design for the "S" on his chest.

[Evil Twin]

Some of my favorites that haven't been mentioned yet.

The Helena Wayne Huntress costume.

The variations that Frank Miller and Lynn Varley came up for the Joker in DKR.

The Wally West Flash redesign with the belt lightning bolts coming to a point in front.

The Guy Gardner variation on the standard Green Lantern uniform.

Donna Troy's second Wonder Girl outfit, the red jumpsuit variation.

I'll add to the love of Mignola's Gotham by Gaslight Batman.

Metallic robot Braniac was the best version as well.

Well, I don't care for dark, broody Robin anyway. So, that might be it. I prefer Tim when he was just a rather average yet surprisingly brilliant kid rather than the "brood boy" he is now.

I remember when I was first reading Batman comics circa Knightfall. Tim was the highlight of it all. Bruce was too busy being a jerk, getting beat up or making bonehead moves (like letting Jean Paul Valley be Batman). Jean Paul was a violent, unlikable cypher. Tim was the one that was worth watching because he was the viewpoint character we saw it all through.

Ah, memories. :)

[cncoyle]

Batgirl in Thrillkiller

I also liked Linda Danvers's Superwoman costume in "Many Happy Returns":

And Skyrider, I remember that version of Booster Gold's costume. Emil Hamilton made it for him during the triangle days of the Superman titles.:cool:

They'll bring him back. If they want they can make it just a phase, hopefully he'll start moving on and becoming a little more cheery like Nightwing used to be before they filled him with angst again.

[Hokeyboy]

I think I'm the only one on the planet who really liked Aquaman's mid-80s undersea camouflage outfit:

Personally I loved it!

Have the entire 4 issue mini series, and reread it whenever I get the chance

Flash, Yellow Speed-force costume from when he had a broken leg.

Robin, in winter gear when he's fightinh the kobra guys in the alps.

Cassandra Cain, wearing the old batgirl suit and distracting Robin.

It's that cooler-than-cool hat. I mean, if I had a hat like that, I would get all the chicks.

I agree. Go to an Army surplus store.

Yeah, instead of having to PAY for IT. ;) :p

It's a one-way prescription... to Groinytown.

Hey, Groinytown sounds better than Motown (for Detroit). ;)
