Justice League of the Gods and Monsters Universe
I'm a sucker for redesigns that do things drastically different yet can still be identified as an alternate version of the main universe equivalent. And with Gods and Monsters, they really went in a drastically different direction. Batman being Kirk Thorton, Superman being the son of Zod raised by Mexican immigrants rather than Kansas farmers, and Wodern Woman being a New God as opposed to an Amazon.
- Superman: As opposed to the cape and the undies, this Superman is much more pragmatic in both personality and design. His appearance isn't as welcoming as Clark's and that serve to highlight how this Superman is distant. He does care about the world and its people (even if it's hardly mutual) and prioritizes the logical solution. Even if the logical solution isn't always the easiest.
- Batman: Kirk's design is even more uninviting which definitely gets the point across that he isn't a man, he's a monster to be feared by the ciminal element who is burdened by a hunger he can't solve. Being a vampire, he stalks his prey with precision and won't stop until he gets his target. And the red lenses of his batsuit help him deal with his enhanced eyesight when it's daytime.
- Wonder Woman: New Gods wearing bizarre outfits is nothing new (Black Racer is a prime example considering he's meant to be a death god yet looks like a colorful skier.) And while Bekka's outfit is far removed from the standard red, blue, white and gold of Diana, it speaks as a sign of her heritage as a new god. And I mean, her sword just looks cool. And despite her experience with treachery and trauma, she still wears white to show her purity and commitment to being a symbol of unity.
