Nope,Starfire the thread
To this
Then this
Later
And finally
latest:
She got rebooted as well as Batgirl and Black Canary among others.
More like an adult version of the Starfire from the cartoon.
I didn't realize Deadpool had become the Brawny paper towels man.

They wanted for a look more familiar with the animated version it seems.
I liked every version of her except the bikini, but If I remember correctly from when I was drawing her new52 version in Scribblenauts Unmasked the bikini one is not her normal suit, she had a purple suit that looked bad though.

it just never gets old. I laughed so, so much reading his Cap run. Liefeld is a brand of putrid shit of his own, not even Jan Duursema at her worst was capable of such feats
Ok, the legs are rediculous, but the hair, outfit design and color are all pretty rad.
mother fucker has gears for shoulder pads. GEARS!
Of course he has gears for shoulder pads, he's from the future.

This kinda looks like out of Ben10.
But i kinda dig it.

These actually look pretty solid. Definitely look like they're connecting to the cartoon design. I like that.Nope,

Her first new 52 look was indeed pretty damn bad lol.
Ah yes, thats the one I had to draw. We used even the same image lol

Someone explain to me why was Liefeld ever hired as an artist.

That's indeed a bizarre Stilt-Man redesign.

Comic art doesn't have that high a standard to begin with...

The fuckin' mullet
It's too long in the front to be a mullet.

I'm very ok with this. Loved the cartoon as a kid, still got a big soft spot for it.
90's was a time where lifeld's bizarre style caught on hard enough for people to copy him and by the time the industry and fans realized it was shit, Liefeld was already a household name. He also writes some times, and im told he is IRL a really swell guy.
But personally, i got a little saying when i think about arting and things like this:
"Anybody can suck at drawing, but it takes years of practice and study to suck like Lifeld does."
And by that i mean, Liefeld knows his way around art (composition, light and shadows, dynamic shapes, etc) but he happens to suck abyssmally at Anatomy.
60's Wonder Woman. Somehow DC thought what WW fans really wanted at the time was for Diana to lose her powers and learn kung fu and basically become Emma Peel in "The Avengers" while moonlighting as a fashion designer, the Amazons to disappear, Steve Trevor to die, Etta Candy to...also disappear(?), and the rogues to be replaced by some loon with stretchy arms and a mask.
That's what they thought. However, the fans rioted and it was scrubbed away soon enough.
DC loves empowering women by watering down their personalities. Goddamn shame.

Wow, the 90's were all about power armor and fucked up limbs.

New Lobo is hot so I obviously approve, but yeah, I can see how fans of the original character might scratch their heads.
I've always thought Superman Blue looked really 90s.
you three completely missed the point of Lobo. and frankly he didn't look over the top at all. the new Lobo looks over design and over the top. and the Electric Superman was not a redesign, it was temporary. doesn't count.

Jose Lopez is an amazing fucking artist. I'm glad he's willing to break convention in shape/approach.

So bad. The idea that ALL of Batman's villains had to be able to physically fight him hand to hand was so ridiculous. The Penguin knew Kung Fu for god's sake.

I really like both designs.

Dat silly red look for Nightwing. The blue help him stand out from Red Hood and Red Robin.:| I should catch up on mr agent greyson.

Bruce has gotta be so pissed right now.

Man this one gets me the most. Amanda Waller didn't just get in shape for that redesign or change her clothes. She fucking got young, too. My limited experience with this character from the cartoons is that being a frumpy, formidable older woman involved in sketch shit is her entire point.
You forgot pouches. Guns. More pouches. More guns. Characters with Death, Blood in their names that had guns and pouches.

Bimbo starfire is not that interesting so this is a really good and fun change. We really need more fun characters in the DC universe, thats why I like plasticman a lot.

How the hell do you screw up Lobo like that? Like damn
The Civil War movie isn't really an adaptation of the story, just the basic plot of Iron Man vs Captain America with a pro/anti registration conflict, and even then, it's not about superhero registration.

I really don't get the hate.
The new suit is one of the best superhero costumes I've ever seen and innovative as fuck.
The "badass" Batgirl suit was basically a movie-version Batman with tits. Yeah it looks awesome, but it's boring.

FrankenCastle was awesome though, was a fun run while it lasted.
This I agree with.
Azreal got a series in the 2000s and his outfit was really good
What's bizarre about the Batgirl redesign.
The new design was for the best IMO
Don't see anything bizarre here either.
The Cartoon look is the best IMO.
I liked The Batman's Joker design. It had a wild flair to it, and is a change from the traditional albino in a suit.
Harley Quinn

Parallax
best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
cartoon titans starfire wasnt all that interesting either. the most i felt for the character was when she was racially discriminated against
I had the collected Batman vs Lobo. It was awesome. Lost in a move :-(
I should reget it, together with Orion.
This is Lobo.

I had no idea they did that to Lobo. That might be the worst thing I've ever seen. Whoever did that should get a new job.
