What I mean is, ever since superhero movies started becoming a thing, iconic characters have had their outfits re-designed to be more “realistic”. Just look at the X-Men and how their transition from comic to cinema took their costumes from “colorful and iconic” to “black leatherpalooza”. Which I can sort of understand- when watching a live-action film, it’s harder to suspend your disbelief that an actual human being would willingly dress up in a “silly” outfit than if you were watching a cartoon. In fact I’m pretty sure they make a joke about Wolverine’s original yellow outfit in one of the X-Men movies.

As time went on and the Marvel Cinematic Universe expanded, they slowly grew more bold about their costumes looked, though personally it always felt like they were “holding back” in a way I can’t adequately describe, like they’re still afraid that general audiences will dismiss superheroes as being too silly (which frankly feels like it misses half the reason superheroes are fun).

But in Spider-Verse? Everyone’s costumes look like they came straight out of a comic book, and it’s all the better for it. Look at the Prowler- a live-action Prowler couldn’t get away with that high collared cape, glowing boots, or even the vibrant purple color scheme. His outfit would be all stitched kevlar in dark, muted tones like a motorcycle outfit. Nobody made jokes about how he looks, either in the movie or in the media. He’s allowed to just… be the Prowler.

Hello DC i would like to make my own batman comic series hire me

In a perfect world, Teen Titans (2003) would never have happened and YJ wouldn’t have disbanded. But since it isn’t a perfect world, Imma just erase those nightmare fuel Cassie designs and replace them with my own. Titans’03 did her sooooo bad just… ewww.Anyways I’m back at it with the redesigns! 

For the first part of the series (#1-Infinite Crisis) she’d wear a red jumpsuit that’s sorta inspired by Donna Troy’s wonder girl fit. I think prior to that series Donna “died” so Cassie switched her look to pay tribute to her I guess. But in all honesty the reasoning for the design felt more like a move by the creative team to sexualize her. I made the jumpsuit look more like a utility worker’s just bc i thought the vibe was cool - and NOT sexualising a kid. Also keeping the goggles cuz those were cute.

Second one would be for One Year Later to the end of preboot. In that time period she was just cycling through combinations of red WG shirt + jeans (usually pretty sexy looking ewewew) and I thought, hey lets just do that, but make it cooler! so spiky shoulder pads. And a sword bc she’d be epic with a sword. She’s ditching the bulletproof Wonder-bracelets since I saw her do that in one of those designs and thought that’s neat.
