Stargirl’s forehead makes her look like David Ogden Stiers’ Martian Manhunter.

Dr. Fate should look creepy. Hell, just have him lurk around in the shadows. I’m annoyed they didn’t put in Wildcat. Guy wouldn’t even need a costume, just give some wrestler or UFC guest star a a leather jacket and have him punch out Ollie. “I’m Wildcat. The guy who fights.” Old school gritty.

And Stargirl? Really? I don’t care how much she reminds whoever of their departed relative, the costume doesn’t work. Use Cyclone, can’t have enough hot redheads.

Not impressed.

I’m enjoying the hell out of Smallville this season. Partly due to the lack of Lana Lang and partly because they have repeatedly brought in other DC heroes, including the freaking Wondertwins in a manner that didn’t make me want to hurl. Which is hard, because the original Wondertwins regularly made me want to hurl when I was a kid.

That and Green Lantern’s kind of hot.

You’ve seen the Hawkman ensemble, I trust? Great googly moogly, I know some fan costumers who could run rings around that design. They keep trying to entice me, but it was ‘no’ back in ’01 and it’s ‘no’ now. These desperate attempts to court the fanboy dollar are so declasse.

(. . .although if they put welling in the actual suit, then we might have to talk. . .don’t look at me like that.)

I never made it past the pilot of Smallville, when the show asked me to believe that the guy with the ice blue eyes, the chiseled cheekbones and washboard abs was unpopular in high school.

Anyway, Dr. Fate was never going to look any good, but it looks like the producers picked to worst look possible here. What’s wrong with a tunic and pants?

I don’t know what I can add to Stargirl, except to say that I’ve seen better designed and more interesting superhero costumes in a Lady GaGa video.

I’ve watched a fair amount of Smallville episodes from the seasons when they were still in Smallville and, well…

I hated all the monster of the week characters I saw. I couldn’t see what the big deal was about Lana. With or without magic powers. I was never that impressed by Lex Luthor.

My biggest stumbling block was Tom Welling. I just couldn’t accept a guy who was, like, 24 (and who just got done being the lead character’s boyfriend on Judging Amy) playing a fourteen year old high school freshman. Especially when they put him in scenes with real teenagers, which just made him look older.

Plus, something about his acting really irritated me. You’re supposed to root for Superman, not hope he dies from kryptonite poisoning.

I liked Annette O’Toole, John Schneider and John Glover. But unfortunately for me, nobody else wanted to get rid of all the other characters and do a show just about the cool parents. And maybe Chloe, since I always liked her more than Lana or Lois.

Now that Chloe is the only one left out of the characters I liked, I can’t really see myself ever watching that show again.

Solipsistnation–
That stick looks like a wang to you? I seriously hope that’s not what your wang looks like.

I’ve still never seen Smallville, except for about fifteen minutes of one early episode. It was pretty bad, although I realise it’s never safe to judge a series from just one episode.

If this were at a Con, no way would Stargirl’s abs match the comic like this model’s do.

Wait, they moved the setting to Metropolis three or four years ago? Then why in the hell is it still called “Smallville?”

Y’know, it might work if Stargirl literally cobbled her costume together herself and is still a newbie, giving it a realistic excuse to look cheap.

Yeah, stupid Wonder Woman gets her hotpants at The Gap. I hate her.

I really wish they’d done the low-fi route with these. Put Stargirl in welder’s goggles like Jack Knight wore, and Dr. Fate in something like Neo wore on the Matrix sequels, and that would look kind of neat.

What kind of lame-ass superhero gets their costume pieces at Old Navy?

A superhero on a budget, dammit.

Wow. Stargirl’s brow ridge is even larger than Nightman’s was.
