I actually like the costumes. I'm plesantly surprised Cyclone's costume still has the same vibe as her conic one. The only thing I don't like so far is the red/ruby parts in Hawkman's wings.

Yes, I agree. A real shame.
I also can't see it as SJW stuff. They were trying to bring the JSA into the 90's, so some young blood was needed. I didn't mind it being Jessie or the girl successor of Johnny Thunder (in fact, I was always much more intrested in seeing what was her story than Jakeem Thunder's).
Peace
I'm a fan of Cyclone and her comic costume, but let's be honest, trying to adapt it to live action and having in mind the movement with the wind would have been truly hell. The costume they have showed us is pretty great and I feel that it would be in character for her (those sleeves seem like something that would be from a musical like Wicked, which is something that would represent her).
Of the top off my head, there was an issue where the JSA fight a mob of white supremacists outside of a hospital where a civil rights activist from Africa being treated. The finale involved the JSA being attacked by a crowd that was brainwashed by a demonic tv producer into believing that they were tied to Communists and Fascists. There was also Jay and Alan having a conversation over economics and how desperation leads to crime.
I've seen some of the online discourse over 'the American Way' being changed to 'A Better World' and I even saw a site bemoaning George Perez being called 'feminist' as 'too political'. I can definitely see those same people complaining about the JSA 'being too political' if that series came out today even though the JSA was created for the same reason Captain America was.
I thought it had eye slits, but it turns out it was just the angle. You can see the eyeholes better in the shot where Kent is holding the helmet.
I really dig Atom-Smasher's and Doctor Fate's respective costumes. I wasn't sure how the former costume was going to turn out, but it looks fantastic.
I don't think I like Cyclone's costume. I actually like her weird Christmas-colored costume in the JSA comics so this one feels too far a departure from it. It was endearing.
