I liked the costume of wonder woman in the DCEU minus the costume from WW 84.
What was great about this costume in the first film is that Patty thought of how the costume would look in the setting of world war 1. the colour grading and cinematography of the film, made the costume look so beautiful on Gal Gadot.
She missed this good directing choices in WW 84
I don't care so much for accurate costumes in comic books...there I said it.
It's great if they do it, but if they have something different that works better with the aesthetic they have all the good.
The Chris Reeve Superman suit looks good for the film's style which is intentionally fantastic mixing old-fashioned with contemporary designs. The film's bright aesthetic also allows them to bring out the primary colors. If you aren't going for realism your entire style needs to reflect that.
Whereas the Tim Burton movies were going for dark gothic fantasy and the costumes reflect Burton's aesthetic.
In terms of mixing aesthetic with comic book accuracy I rather did like Raimi's Spider-Man 1...where the Raimi-Suit looks a little fleshy, i.e. it looks less like a guy in a skin-tight suit and more like this is how an actual Spider-Man looks like, with the texture of the thick black lines around the red really adding an odd texture to it. The crimson red of the suit was also a good touch (matching the color of MJ's hair even, at least in SM-1). I also, and this is controversial, like the Green Goblin outfit of the movie. Call me crazy but I think a dude calling himself the Green Goblin should have more green than purple (unlike the comics). Just sayin'.
I think you don't see that much anymore because the whole "tactical" argument that popped up in the 2000s? Maybe earlier. Or ppl feeling embarrassed or thinking tights look silly. Probably why we'll never see Wolverine's tiger stripe or Psylocke's thong.
The new Wanda Vision had their original costumes in a halloween episode. Kinda as a joke but they didn't look that bad.
I honestly don't get the tactical thing for people who can lift a tank, or go through walls, or control people's minds. What does tactical gear benefit them?
Of course, a lot of old costumes are cringe and awkward. But the tactical stuff seems too militaristic
I mean, I get people are people and not drawings on paper, but I think most comic costumes could be done very close to the comics, if they wanted to do that. They could start by making them exactly alike, then slightly altering the material, color or whatever is needed to fix any "problem spots" that seem to be appearing. I just think the movie people are too concerned about their "own vision/version" to really care what the fan public wants, deluding themselves that we will love their version as much as they do.

How can Captain America be a spy with that shield anyway?
I've always felt that the superhero has never been represented very well in major films since Dick Donner's 1978 "vision" of Superman. That film was very faithful to what Superman was through the ages, a mix of Silver Age and Bronze Age elements put into a fantasy film. The sequels were less truthful to the myth but Superman II comes closest.
Batman 1989 is not a bad movie by any stretch of the imagination. It gets 3 things wrong as far as I'm concerned. 1) Batman should not be so cold-blooded. It seems clear that they were inspired to use the Golden Age version, from Finger and Kane's first year... where Batman killed. 2) I think Batman was miscasts... Keaton was a great Batman, but he didn't look or act enough like the Bruce Wayne I know. 3) The bodysuit was well built, the sculpt was interesting for what they were going for... but it should have been gray... not all black. Had they kept that basic plot... added a few more action scenes with Batman... shown him doing some sleuthing/detective work then maybe, just maybe it could have approximated what Donner did with Reeve in 1978.
