Supergirl Gets a New Costume + Creative Team

[Kuwagaton]

The Rebirth costume was pretty tasteful so I take it you're referring to the last time she had a blue skirt, with the Post-Crisis costume?

Yeah, the pre-flashpoint version with the midriff. Not that it was really inappropriate, but I think it's really important that writers and artists approach her as a teen and that was something that made it a little worse to me.

[Restingvoice]

That front cape sash thing is so unnecessary. The whole costume feels unnecessary, except the pants. I don't know what the hood's for, it's gonna come off when she's flying.

[JAK]

It would be kind of interesting if Jimenez threw that in there after learning from the Reborn costume.

I wouldn't doubt it if that were the case, but it'd be cool to know for sure.

I wonder if "Green Lantern" is Hal? Or Guy?

Also interesting that they're playing into Kara's tech-side.

Lol that's the trend now, hoods.

But awesome. I was just fine with the creators before and even felt bad for Ching that they pretty much had to replace him with someone more aesthetically inclined, but I welcome this group just the same. Seems much less like a tv tie in which I do slightly prefer

Hate the hoods..Why in hell do they need hoods?

[marhawkman]

Apparently the costume on the cover is only when she is space, she'll still have her normal costume.

So that's why she carries a poleaxe?

Well, the poleaxe seems to be her new go-to-weapon .

[The Dying Detective]

Well, the poleaxe seems to be her new go-to-weapon .

THe poleaxe must be Rogol Zaar's.

I read a collection of the first 13 SG Rebirth issues + an annual and some awkward Batgirly crossover.

... Her costume was really the very least of the issues. From the 3 SG runs I read (this, 90ys-2ks Matrix SG and some pre Flashpoint SG run) this was the worst. It was not unbearable bad or something. Just... surprisingly lame; kind of disappointing. The things that worked for me that she was actually Supergirl, her kind personality and the more classic take on the costume.

I do not mind that costume:

Attachment 66130

That looks pretty good

If thats the new official one... well, yeah. I guess its even an improvement. But as said; IMO that the least of SGs problems.

Well sure. We need to make sure every part of the body is covered.

Shades of the silver age with the changing costumes. Or it was the bronze age?

[Kuwagaton]

During her Bronze age years with Adventure and that first solo title, she broke away from her young teen image a bit and had a few different looks. I really hope they reprint Supergirl stuff from 69-74 at some point. Maybe to complement the new stuff.

The Matrix version was written as a 20-something woman with multiple romance plots.

DC is currently reprinting Supergirl's Silver Age stories. So I think they might do it once they run out of Silver Age material.

[PyroTwilight]

interesting that these spare looks are all references to other Superbook characters.

The red and black looking Jon Lane Kent esque.

Hoodie design ala Superwoman/Lucy Lane.

The Conner Kent Superboy look is pretty obvious.
