    Moving away from Racial stuff (make a thread guys) I present to you one of the worst DC costumes imo.

    Briefs, boots, a sash, an oversized collar and a cape attatched to his bracers.

    Sinestro's original costume is straight up a clown outfit, and it's awful. The modernized version in the current Justice League series looks OK, I guess, but there was a reason that the yellow armor stuck around for so long when he finally got it.

    It's a Quality Comics costume--Black Condor's--DC simply acquired it. But it was made by the master, Lou Fine--and it dsplays his talent with a brush. Since Fine was so good at capturing the human form, he seemed to dislike putting clothes on his heroes--and the costumes they wore seemed to be made of gossamer.

    I wonder if there needs to be a special category for costumes and designs that only one artist could do well--because it played to his or her strengths--but no one else should attempt it.

    I never really liked the design of Doomsday--and one of the things about it that bugged me was any artist who had to draw Doomsday would have had to copy the design with precision--it's not an easy look to simplify. Which means pencillers and inkers had to sit hunched over their boards for hours trying to correctly delineate that monster.

    If you ask me, it hardly seemed worth the effort.

    As Jon Bogdanove and Bob McLeod were the first ones to do Doomsday in a comic book, I wonder if they're the ones to blame. If I was a Superman artist and I got stuck with that design, I'd be tempted to bop the creator in the face.

    Also, while potentially controversial, I tend to think that Lex Luthor's green and purple power armors look pretty bad and way beneath him as a character.

    If you had not told me that was A-Man, I would never have known.

    I always wondered about his original outfit--which had fish-scales or chainmail, depending what you think--much like Aquaman's orange shirt.



    What was up with that? Capt. America, Robin, Metamorpho, Capt. Atom--they all tried this look.

    Doesnt he mostly hang around in African jungles? Like Dc are trying to hit the 'Superhero Tarzan' button. Whereas Black Condor immediately goes to a modern city.

    Who thought this was a good idea? Some artist should really just stick to drawing and not making their own costumes. Simply terrible and way too much going on. Her prevoius costume wasn't exciting and boring but I would rather go back to that.

    There's a lot of designs by Kirby and Perez, to name two, that only look good by them.

    Many of the costumes posted on this thread are not really bad, but 1) it wasn't the one you grew up with, 2) you hate the character wearing it and therefore the outfit 2) it shows too much skin for your personal tastes, or 3) it doesn't show enough skin for your personal tastes. Having said that, Perez's Jericho was godawful then and still is today.
