I prefer Circe to be over the top, always wanting to one up Diana in the looks department, seeing mortals as beneth her.
I agree! The soccer mom in line at Starbucks is so boring. This is a visual medium and budget is no option with how you draw Circe - unlike a tv show or movie. Why they are choosing to show an all-powerful, immortal witch as someone working in middle management in a PR office is just confounding.Originally Posted by Primal Slayer;5856372[B
As a design by itself, it's perfectly fine for when she wants to be on the dl and interact with mortals. Like her first scene in Cale's office? It works great there.
But it would have been better if she shifted to something like her Dodson look when she went to confront Diana.
What is it with comic books not wanting to embrace the absurd outfits, even when it doesn't make sense (do any of you care if your pet thinks you look silly because you aren't naked? Someone like Circe should be as over the top as possible)? It takes me back to the Nolan Batman movie era, where even something as simple as Penguin (chubby man wearing a tuxedo, top hat, monocle with a concealed gun in an umbrella) was seen as too silly.
She did it later in the witching hour saga

For me, my issue is that I think the normal look should only be for Circe's manipulative tactics. In the Witching Hour, Circe is manipulating the team the entire time. As the Pippy Longstalkings Goth, she is clearly villainous and would be impossible to trust. As the soccer mom who blends in and is almost forgettable, she can place herself in the perfect position to manipulate the people around her.
I want it clear that this is a disguise not to be DL or interact with mortals but to manipulate and trick people into lowering their guards. The latter seems truer to Circe and gives more purpose for why Circe would choose such a boring and forgettable look instead of one more glamourous and ostentatious, i.e. bigger hair, more bold clothing, more attractive, etc.
I like the one where you can actually see Ares better, you can tell by the sinister pose he's corrupting her and his gift may be a curse.
