What costume or character design do you think is better than any DC design you've ever seen? Also list reasons why you think that design is almost 'too good' or IS too good to be a DC design.

(I did a similar thread in the DC forum.)

Your thread confuses me. Why would any design be "Too good"? And what does "Too good to be a DC design" even mean?

And...this IS the DC forum.

I think he's trying to ask who has the best costume in the DCU. Why he didn't just say, "Who has the best costume in the DCU?" is beyond me.

Figure of speech. I mean a design of a higher quality than you would usually suspect of any DC design.

No, I mean out of DC. Which fictional character do you think has a better design than any DC character you've come across?

Um...Don't do drugs kids. You'll end up asking questions like this.

What's wrong? I'm only asking which character design you consider better than any design you've seen from DC comics.

That's such a strange way to ask the question:

What is the best Marvel costume?

Spidey would be Marvel's best design, IMO. But this isn't limited to comics. Any character throughout fiction is included.

And sorry about that, but I really tried to find a better way to word it.

Funny, I feel the exact opposite. Spiderman's costume is one of my least favorite Marvel costume designs. The webbing is overly elaborate, and the colors are garish.

So you think Namor's lil thong is better than any costume in the DC universe?

C'mon now.

And wait...you want to rate costumes that are NOT DC comics costumes....in a DC comics forum?

Actually, I want to know what you consider to be better. I want to know what specific character (ANY character, not just in comics) design you personally think beats out any of the designs in the collective DCU or DC Comics in general.

So you would like to discuss design. Perhaps it would be better if you limit your parameters.

Based on what design elements? Is it character design? Costume design? Brand Identity (which would include logo and color palette)?

What range do you cover? Comics, Television, Movies, Novels, Computer Games, Mythology, Paintings?

Because not all fictional characters have costumes. Case in point... would you compare Batman to say, Atticus Finch, Hercule Poirot or Theseus, slayer of the Minotaur? Would you compare Jack Bauer to Mr. Terrific?

Technically your question would cover ALL of it and that's confusing because you want ONE design that's better than all of DC only? Wouldn't you need to decide what the best DC Design is first?

Since you want that design to beat out ALL of DC, why not just ask for the best design in ALL fictional characters? Which would be an easier topic.

It's all fictional characters in all genres and mediums and it's regarding character design in general, which can either include costumes or not.

Not everyone has the same favorite DC design, so I decided to leave that up to them.

I sort of did. :biggrin:

Spider-Man's black costume is a good design. It's simple and says who he is. Unfortunately, it was co-opted by Venom and he just ruins it. On the DC side, I would have to go with Nightwing. There is a common theme here, but simple is always best.

So this is a straight up DC costume contest? At first I thought what the poster meant was out of all of the DC incarnates which was the best design for that character. (example: Superman's Kingdom Come costume design being the best out of all versions of Superman) :confused:

That's not what he asked. I'm going to word it.

Who, in any universe, in any medium (television, comic books, imagination, novels, movies, video games) has a better costume than ANY other costume in the DC Universe?


Now answer me: what the hell kind of a question is that?

It's what it is. A lot of DC characters have some good designs. But what non-DC designs do you think are better?

So we are wondering, in the DC forums, what non-DC costume is better than any costume worn in the DC universe?

Excuse me, I'm gonna take two aspirin now, get in my car, drive to a vegetarian convention, go in and ask them what their favorite lunch meat is.
I'll get the same reaction as here... :rolleyes:
