These redesigns by Michael Lee Lunsford attracted a fair bit of attention last week as people looked at them and either thought "Cool, nice work," or (as so often happens on the internet) "What are you doing? You've ruined her!"
I happen to like them, I have to admit. They're easily recognisable as the characters, they contain elements of the classic looks of each of them and they're a step away from the spray painted costumes most characters - male and female - wear in superhero comics these days.
Good work Mr Lunsford, I say.
There are a few other redesigns on his blog, including characters from other publishers but, being the slave to DC that I am, I picked out my favourites.
Wonder Woman is in Dockers. Zatanna looks pregnant. The other two don't offend me.
ReplyDeletePhew! Thank goodness for that! I mean, if we all got offended by things on the internet, where would we be...
DeleteDon't like any of them, it's all a bit 'women in comfortable clothes' for me. I'd prefer we simply objectify the men a bit mroe ...
ReplyDeleteI'd settle for objectifying neither gender and having them all in comfortable clothing!
DeleteChange the color of WW's pants and I'm fine with them all!!
ReplyDeleteI think she'd look better with leggings similar to Power Girl's but other than that, I think the design works.
