Hey now. Isn't that the alien goo monster Supergirl?

Are these suppose to be """""homages""""" to Liefeld's Cable & Deadpool #1/New Mutants #98 covers or has he just gotten that lazy.

That's exactly what I thought when I first saw the pic
He looks like an unused character from one of Frank Miller's Robocop scripts
They are but the comics themselves will be in the same style
That's the REAL Supergirl
yeah

How'd Lex get stuck with purple and green being "his" colors? Seems weird to me that they insist on keeping that color scheme because that's what they decided to color his costume in the 60s or whenever.
Are you going to address the fact that it's literally the All-Star Superman design with dumb gloves and less ostentatious colors or just keep talking about the 90s?
All of the Trinity's main villains use purple and green. Joker, Luthor, Circe (green armor + purple hair) when they were pushing her as WW arch nemesis.
I think it's a combination of the jacket and the pose that's throwing people off. He doesn't feel very much like Lex Luthor because he doesn't look dominating or imposing whatsoever. A lot of that can be chalked up to the pose though. The jacket also makes him look like he has something to hide, like he works out of back alleys. Lose the trencher and give him an air of limitless confidence and self satisfaction and he'd be much improved. That's easy to do, too.
What retro 90's extreme bullshit is from this comic panel from?

huh? Im not talking about the 90s other than when someone asked if it was still the 90s
Only good Lex Luthor
Fucking Superman's cousin burned hotter than Kryptonite
I'd read this
The trinity concept sucks.

I like one shots from every house, and enjoy paperback collections very much, but to believe you can read comics in a straight order and get some kind of well thought, laid out storytelling is autodelusion.

happens all the time. Snyder has written 40 plus comics of thought out and well told Batman stories.

why?
Embarrassing.
I don't enjoy his over abundance in shock and gimmicks for sure, and I'vre read a good chunk of them. The skinned joker screamed "tryhard" so hard for me. Court of Owls was pure quality, I'll give him that.

He looks so XTREEEEEEEEME
Could do with some pouches and belts, though

Except it's not street level. He's still in space.

But all of that ends up leading to a great pay-off.
EDIT: God damn I love Wondy's new look.

Wait, am I to understand that Liefeld ripped off his own ripoff?

Second thought, is this on an alien world? IF so that could be cool.

Try 52 for straight story goodness. They still haven't topped it.

Still say those arm blades have to go, otherwise I agree.
You're more patient that I am. I'm not saying I'm right, I might be playing a fool here so feel free to ignore me, the point I'm trying to make is, people shouldn't get too played up when some zany redesign like this one happens, it's.. comics, it's ok, it's easier to enjoy itfor what it is, and if you don't then stay away because crazier things will happen at every turn.

Wasn't sure if this new Green Lantern was a renegade or not so I'm glad they helped me out..

He doesn't look hip and edgy as much as he looks like he's from the future. Honestly I was expecting a lot worse. The glasses are the silliest part, and they're probably the part he'll be wearing the least.

You people really got hung up on this quote eh? If you're happy with the sitcom cheese that was AoU then good for you man
Superman is just fucking hilarious. He looks like Frank Castle woke up and found himself in a nightmare where he's dressed like a dork
Let's change the subject to how much that Wonder Woman design knocks it out of the park.

He looks like a Static Shock character now...
every hero/bad guy in this show had goggles/square thick sunglasses of various colors.
In fact he stole Virgil's flying disk... thing.
First stealing cakes, and now flying disk, this man's evil goes too far!

Whatever you say, broski
:lol Why is Superman's design so different? All the rest of those designs look good.

There's some earth 2 redesigns as well, but that's most of the mainstream ones. Most of them are good except WW's arm blades, and Batman is more of a new character and redesign. WW's JL suit is still better though.
Oh and also
Metron Batgod, though I'm sure that won't last longer than Darkseid War
How has Liefeld not managed any artistic growth after all these years?
He still can't draw feet.

those are our only two options i guess
Cyborg just looks like Cyborg to me, but that's probably because I don't think I've ever actually read a comic with him in it.
I should probably catch up on some Titans stuff.
Wonder Woman is a legitimate upgrade, except I think the arm blades don't look good.
