Relative to two of the other costumes Z wore in the 1970s and 1980s, I don't mind that one so much. Because it looks like something a stage magician would wear in the 1980s. For me, Zatanna should always be wearing a stage magician's costume--unless she's just relaxing, in which case she should wear normal clothes--because Zatanna's calling is stage performance. She doesn't switch into a super-hero outfit when she happens upon a crime scene--she's always Zatanna the Magician, in the tradition of her father.Originally Posted by Lee Stone

Yeah. The helmet was especially awful. But then, almost all of the looks for Earth 2 were pretty bad. Originally Posted by Jekyll

As much as I despised Dick Grayson's DiscoWing costume...
This takes the cake for me.
I can only assume the writer was on something illegal at the time.
Parental care is way exhausting. Gained insight into what my parents went through when I was a baby. Not fun, but what ya gonna do? (Read comics, obviously.)

Yeah but that’s a costume that was intentionally ridiculous. Originally Posted by Kyer

So a slur becomes OK if it is repeated enough? Originally Posted by hotroddii

I gave up on the Justice League during the Detroit period but, nevertheless, of the new members my favourite was Cynthia. I never saw anything wrong with her costume as it wasn't a costume, it was just what she wore. The way it's drawn, with the patches on the skirt, it's a bit corny, but it looks like something a young woman would have worn back then. There were girls I knew at the time that dressed quite the same--with clothes they got from thrift stores and lots of costume jewelry.
I think it was purely by ignorance and not malice, that the creators back then styled her the way they did. Nowadays, there would be no excuse for it. On FLASH, near the end, the TV show had stopped using her codename, for the most part, and called her Cynthia.
