SubscribeNote: After Superman and Wonder Woman popped up as two of Diaz’s “5 Essential Character Redesigns” post, he went and tackled the entire Justice League in one fell swoop.Not only does Diaz redesign their costume, but also injects some new characters into their garb with stories to match. Head over to Aaron’s site for the story behind the designs. – Chris A.

/ October 12, 2011GREAT Stuff! I love this take on them, modern, yet somehow classic, and vintage. I really dig the Cyborg, Flash and Powergirl. The Manhunter is pretty cool too. I like how he’s completely cloaked.

/ October 12, 2011I love his ideas for Supes, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Power Girl, but I’m not sold on a dull scientist Flash who sees his power as a curse, or the skinny teenage Cyborg. Still, I’d love for Aaron to take on more DC characters, and maybe The Avengers at some point.

/ October 12, 2011Wow, I just visited Aaron’s site and he’s redesigned DC villains and Batman himself over there! Hope these make it onto PR too.

/ October 12, 2011These are amazing. I am in love. Such sharp, clean designs, and the new stories behind them would make for a fun alternate-universe story. Forget Earth-2, *this* is what I’d like to see!

/ October 12, 2011Maurice Moss (Richard Ayoade) of the serie “The IT Crowd” is Cyborg. Rules.

/ October 12, 2011PG really needs a cleavage window. If having a hole over her breasts is impractical, which we all know is true, then just put some sort of see-through material over it. Seriously, I started reading PG for the cleavage and grew to appreciate more of the character than just what she looks like. And of all characters to draw in immature readers and help them appreciate a character’s mind instead of her appearance, it oughta be PG to do that.

/ October 12, 2011freaking amazing. seriously one of the best flash costumes I’ve ever seen [he's my favorite hero] with a brilliant adaption of the symbol. Oh yeah, everything else was freaking incredible, too! :)

/ October 12, 2011I don’t necessarily like all of his idea, but I love the enthusiasm, raw talent and imagination on display here and at his site!

/ October 13, 2011I think this is the best Power Girl redesign I’ve seen.

/ October 14, 2011so, GL doesn’t have a ring? Superman is bad, Cyborg is worse. The rest rock…except WonderWoman who IS rock. Love that WW

/ October 14, 2011I really dig the Cyborg. Makes a nice change from the whole every-black-guy-is-a-rapper-or-benjamin-sisko thing comics seem to have going on. Martian Manhunter is a vast improvement too, and I really dig the Power Girl.

/ October 15, 2011I love those designs for Power Girl and Wonder Woman SO MUCH.

/ October 17, 2011I like these designs and rebooted stories. The new characterizations and stories feel very…Marvel-like.

/ October 23, 2011I’m not really sold on the whole “living statue” thing for Wonder Woman, but I really like the redesign, specially the IT Crew Cyborg with Aperture Science Tech

/ December 26, 2011actually, i love all the costume-designs… my only concern is that looking at manhunter’s head, i can’t stop thinking about orko…

/ January 24, 2012No cleavage window for PG? What a stupid redesign.

/ March 30, 2012I dislike most of what I’ve read about the Superman that he’s using. I never liked the idea that a man who can see all around the world is going out of his way to be American blue collar instead of being more international. I also feel like viewing big business and military engagement as impediments to human advancement lack perspective. Yes, people die, but they are forces for change and technological advancement so they’re not inherently evil. I can’t imagine someone coming from such a culture as Krypton would miss the complexity of it. That said, I acknowledge the good amount of thought that went into it. It’s not a bad idea at all; it’s just not to my taste for where the Superman mythos should go.
I like 90% of what he was thinking of with Wonder Woman, but feel like making her a statue takes away some of her warmth. As I said in the last post this was discuessed. Wonder Woman is important because she (and Superman) feel like the ones who are able to comfort people with a hug or simply holding them. She’s strong, but warm. Marble, even living marble, isn’t warm and physical comfort isn’t as appealing.
Power girl… I just feel like something’s missing (and it’s not the boob window).
Martian Manhunter is something I actually love. Though I want to say that I feel like having Luthor be the one in charge of the project that brought J’onn here centralizes so much of the story on Lex and Superman.
I like some of the ideas in GL, but still want the ring, even if the ring is nothing more than a way of storing the lantern when not in use or what the lantern becomes when powered down.
I like Indian Flash… but I feel like viewing the powers as a curse is sort of… boring. Marvel is all about having characters tortured by their abilities. It’s not really bringing anything new to the table outside of him being “not white”
Cyborg, I like most of that back-story. However, nerdy black kid is another stereotype that I want to move away from. Why haven’t we seen the Average Joe black guy stories? He can still love science and want to use it to help a degenerative nerve condition, but I feel like every time we deal with a black kid, they have to fall into some category.
