DC Shows Off New Rebirth Designs for Wally West, Donna Troy & More Titans

[Ebon]

Get rid of that &*$^% cap. Other than that, I like the designs. Booth usually comes up with some really good stuff. Better stuff if he's left to his own devices.

[Blackbeard]

Nightwing costume looks sick. Didn't liked too much of Roy hat and his glasses (?). Wally costume is meh, I personally prefer his previous one.

[Thirteen]

I still have yet to see anyone provide a LEGIT reason why a hat on Roy doesn't work.

I'm not looking for "Wahhh this isn't How it was when i was a kid"

I dig the hat -fits his "fratboy Arrow Bro" characterization for lack of a better phrase - besides there's precedent for Speedy to sport a hat. :-)

[Thirteen]

I mean...

The Omen look is LITERALLY mostly a recolor of her previous look, before the New 52.



I do wish they'd been more ambitious with it, but it basically fits the same mold that Dick's does.

Wasn't part of the point of that Omen look to conceal the identity of the character being Lilith from the reader as well as other characters? The mystery being part of the plot?
I just don't get the WHY? of the costume now post- Titans Hunt Rebirth without that as motivation.

The only thing I can think of is that out of the Titans, she has the most public identity as a counselor. So I can see why she'd want to keep it secret.
I just think she went a bit overboard with it. :-)

[Elegant Dreamer]

Man I really like that Wally costume.

Less to say about the Titans, who we've seen more of. Dick's new look is great. Speaking more specifically to Booth's new designs, I think Roy's look is a slight downgrade but it's still not a terrible look. Donna's 50/50 compromise between her black/silver costume and a more New 52/Wondery armor is actually pretty darned rad, but will still never hold a candle to her red leotard Wonder Girl wardrobe's brilliant design. But I'm quite happy with it here. Omen's look ... is freaky. It's not bad, just strange and unsuperheroish, but man, it's such a far cry better than that Harvest/Lobdell weird design from before that went nowhere anyway.

Garth's new design might be the best Garth design ever made. His characterization has been on point since his depictions started in the New 52 (though obviously that's his "memory altered characterization"), but his designs have been a bit ... off. But again, a gorgeous 50/50 compromise between his "Aqualad" style (mini-Aquaman) costume and the blue water camo Aquaman look that was donated to him (first in odd "red" form, now in vastly superior blue) but with these subtle tweaks to make him look slightly more wild and maritime is just great. I love the open toes, cut sleeves, scruffy hair, scraggly beard, continuation of Atlantean magic tattoos. I like how distinct he seems like he's going to look from Kaldur.

I agree with this. Good fashion essay.

Garth's design is my favorite by far; rugged and sexy. The rest are really good, though I do get why, based on Omen's design, many would think it was a nod to Raven, but I like it; it's very dramatic.

I think it's also going to be dependent on if she has her magical connections back, at least in part.

What if she's actively trying to disguise herself from Twister and the Demon, and that's why?

I mean her other design, the one they almost used, also covered her face.

[Factor]

Omen looks absolutely terrible, but the others look okay. Bumblebee and Wally are my favorites. I'd like Donna's to be red instead of black, but then the team would look way too red.

I like this design on Omen more than the previous one.

I want either a hood or the Robin Hood cap back.

[mikeydiaz81]

I like the designs, although, I agree that Donna should be in red instead of black. Her costume no longer has the map for the multiverse, so it shouldn't be black. Omen, one of my favorite Titans, needs a more streamlined costume, although, aside from her original red and black costume, she would show up with short shorts and knee-highs, so I guess this is a step up...I guess? As long as she's not that monster from NOWHERE that Lobdell relegated her to, I'm cool with the design. Let's hope they don't break her neck again.

Saying everyone here dislikes it is a bit of a stretch honestly. Take it from some one who actually practices archery, if you're going to wear a ballcap it pretty much has to be backwards. When I was in high school I wore hats(forward facing) on a daily basis, it was the late 90s, and I always turned it around when target practicing. If I didn't the bill of the hat would get in the way of the string. Does that make it a good look? Not necessarily. But it is practical and quite common for hunters.

I too, practiced archery for a few years when I was in scouts. While I never used a hat when shooting, I also never ran around doing parkour and complex moves when doing it. You make the point of having a realistic reason for a backwards hat but then I can counter it with, why doesn't the hat fall off when he's running around all the time?

If it's so important to people that Roy needs a hat then okay, have a hat just don't make it look stupid.

[Starchild]

I guess some people will never swayed. Their loss, I guess. The hat isn't going anywhere, it's been here since 2011. Might as well let it go and accept it. No comment on the feather cap. Really? I dig the cap and I refuse to argue with angry Nerds. Leaving it at that.

Said the comic book forum member to the other.

The feathered cap is horrible though, but it works for a sidekick.
