DC Core Heroes Are Getting New Costumes

Forget Paris Fashion week, it's DC Fashion week. Last Friday, Supergirl showed off her new  duds for her upcoming TV show. And now DC has flexed it's designer muscles again by revealing several costume redesigns for it's core heroes. That's right DC's greatest characters are getting updating after their Convergence event in June. So let's walk these beauties down the runway and decide who is the fairest of them all. 

1. Superman/The Man of Steel/Man of Tomorrow 

Superman has lost his tights and cape. He is going straight bro with his new tight tee and jeans combo. Add that too his newfound stubble and buzz cut and you have got a guy you could sit back split a 12 pack of Miller High Life Ponies with. Just be ready for when he drinks too much that night and ends up staying on your futon for the next 6 months. Grade: C+

2. Batman/The Dark Knight/The Caped Crusader

Batman isn't brooding in the shadows anymore with this new getup. This big blue machine is much more conspicuous than the classic black cape and grey tights. Bruce has really developed a mechanized suit fetish in the New 52. First he wore one in the "Night of the Owls", then he donned the Hellbat suit on Apoklips, and then most recently at the beginning of "Endgame" he fought the Justice League in his Justicebuster suit. Out of all of those suits I would say this new one is third coolest of the four. The most interesting part about this costume though is the solicit for Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's 41st issue it says someone other than Bruce is in the batsuit. Just look at recently fired gun in that picture. Bruce is never gonna use a firearm to fight crime. So who is under the cowl? My guess would be Alfred's daughter Julia (just tossing a name out there), but whoever it is better be ready to brawl because you are not gonna be able to be stealthy with long ears that would put Roger Rabbit's to shame. Grade: B

3 + 4. The Flash + Green Arrow / The CW Crew

Flash and Arrow both have success CW shows to go along with their successful comic runs. So let's start with Barry. He looks influenced by Harrison Wells' Reverse Flash suit. I'm not loving it, but I'm not hating it either. Just really prefer the classic look. Grade: C

Green Arrow on the other hand has been hitting the gym. Looking buff, Ollie. And not just that he is growing out his hair making him look like his past counterpart on Arrow. I'm really digging it. Grade: B+ 

5. Wonder Woman/ The God of War

Ever since the Finchs took over Wonder Woman, I have had little to no interest in keeping up with their current storyline, but these new duds might just change that. Wonder Woman is armoring up in a big way. Switching out that silver trim for gold that really makes it all pop. But mostly I just wanna see Diana impale a dude with those bracelets. Grade: A

First Teaser Image From Batman: Endgame

What a night for Twitter teases! It is no secret that we here at The Informers are huge fans of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's current Batman run. The Court Of Owls is the equivalent of the Bible for this site. So you can guess that we are quite excited for the duo's next arc Endgame. Very little is known about it except that it will deal with a large cast of both heroes and villains. Writer Scott Snyder gave us our first clue about what heroes could be involved by posting this picture to his Twitter earlier tonight. The tweet reads "late night #endgame tease".

That sure looks like Wonder Woman's silver bracelet to me! Is Wonder Woman gonna kick Bruce's ass? Can't wait until October to find out!

DC Announces More Animated Films!

During DC's Batman: Assault on Arkham panel at SDCC, the comics company announced a pair of new animated projects they have been working on. The first is Batman VS. Robin. It will be a loose adaption of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's Court of Owls storyline.

The second announcement was the return of animation god Bruce Timm to DC. The guru will be directing an original storyline titled Justice League: Gods and Monsters. Both movies will come out in 2015.

COURT OF OWLS AND BRUCE TIMM! Great day for DC animation. Their last two flicks JL: War and Son Of Batman have been a little weak. Hopefully these new ones will be back up to snuff.
