I've noticed quite a few character costumes haven't really been well-received by a lot of people (and oftentimes it's with good reason too). So, for something positive...what character costumes do you actually like out of all the DC shows? For me, I think I'm happiest with Supergirl's. Probably because I first was introduced to the character via the Helen Slater movie, and so that's how I've always thought her costume 'should' look.  Obviously there are some differences with Melissa Benoist's costume, but I think they altered just enough to make it 'new'/'different' without going overboard. No, I don't think those purple stripey bits are particularly necessary, but they don't distract me enough to 'ruin' the costume in my eyes. About the only thing I'd say could make it 'better' is if they altered the 'S-shield', as I quite miss the yellow filling in the spaces.  |

That Brainiac from the upcoming Krypton looked really good.

Agree about Krypton's Brainiac. Meanwhile Supergirl's Brainiac 5 is an example of how not to adapt a character from page to screen.

When it comes to better costumes, Smallville wins. Hands down, no contest.

Supergirl's is the best. Arrow's is ok. Sara's white sleevless costume was ok but she hardly ever wore it and now it's gone. Thunder's homemade costume on Black Lightning was fantastic but of course they are replacing it with something that will probably be ghastly.

Invisible Kid has the best costume. You might know he's there because his powers won't turn off and he's really shy.

Supergirl's is good. As is the Flash and most of Oliver's costumes - except the sleeveless one, even though it was closer to the comics look. Justin Hartley's Green Arrow costume was fine when it was the only adaptation, but I have to say, I like almost all of Arrow's takes on Oliver's costumes over that one.I still prefer Sara in her original black costume, hand down. No matter who anyone else is or is supposed to be, as far as I'm concerned, she should be Black Canary. They ticked the vast majority of the necessary boxes for the Black Canary; her having the wrong name pales in comparison to everything else that was right about her. Especially when they've screwed up every subsequent attempt to develop someone else in the part.Did not care for the Smallville takes on Black Canary, Zatanna, Auquabro... I mean Aquaman, or Supergirl. I don't know what it is, but I could never get on board with Laura's Kara, and her being so much more advanced than Clark, when hed been at it longer. It just further underscored the fact that they were holding Clark back to drag out the series. And the stuff they put him in towards the end were a nightmare; the Dark Kent trenchcoat and t-shirt, the red leather jacket with embossed symbol. I mean, come on, he went to the trouble of having that made when Jor-el froze the suit Martha made, instead of asking her to make another one??Then there's Impulse and Cyborg' hoodie costumes. Hawkman wasn't terrible, except when he was flying; which as I recall looked fake as shit. And as much as I like Michael Shanks, I don't think he did a very good job in that role.Ray's suit is okay, but I'd like them to redesign it. And didn't they have Ray say he was going to when planning to rebuild it last year? For some reason that didn't seem to happen.With Superman's suit, I'm a little more of a traditionalist; in that I'd like to see the red color scheme added back into the lower section somehow. Not necessarily as the briefs, but finessed to evoke the older look, while making it contemporary. Sort of like this: stargazer1682.tumblr.com/image/148706880628 |

Just curious. Am I the only reading this thread about costumes, having this song play in their head?

I was okay with Oliver losing his fortune temporarily, since that did happen in the comics, but only so far as to see how it impacted his work as the Arrow; and I've always been disappointed it didn't. It wasn't even a speed bump.
Oliver loses his wealth and keeps doing what he was doing, and even had a new costume for Roy, if memory serves on the sequence of events. Then Felicity is apparently bank rolling them, even after she and Oliver break up. Then she gets fired and things still keep going....

Yeah Oliver losing his fortune was utterly pointless as it had no effect on his character and his operations.

Sarah Lance's BC costume FTW. She is also the best among the three Black Canaries.

Yeah, Sarah had the best of the three (cannot believe I am saying this) Black Canaries.
