10 comic-book characters who are dressed for success


Superman's latest duds, possibly inspired by his outfit on the Supergirl TV show. Still no briefs.

For decades, Superman’s iconic “red underwear” worn on the outside of his tights has been both a fashion statement and a topic of ridicule. Despite DC, or rather Jim Lee, ditching the briefs for the New 52 relaunch in 2010, the new armoured look did little to boost Supes’ profile.

Last week, DC announced yet another costume change for Superman, one that is like a cross between his classic spandex look and the New 52 metallic look – and more importantly, still with no red undies in sight. Thankfully, they also removed the horrible-looking cuffs (introduced during DC Rebirth) and completed the metallic makeover with a red belt and red boots! In some ways, Superman’s new look seems inspired by his recent appearance on the Supergirl TV series.
