One of the biggest knocks against the DC Extended Universe has been its general lack of vibrant color compared to the comic books. In exchange for gritty realism, the DCEUâespecially its costumesâcome across as unsaturated and dour. Thatâs a shame because, up close, the Leagueâs costumes look great.
Last night, Warner Bros. and DC unveiled a series of replica costumes from the upcoming Justice League movie that showcased every painstaking detail that went into bringing the characters to life. Itâs one thing to see the costumes in motion on a screen in a trailerâyou know what youâre looking at even though youâre not taking it all in. But itâs another thing when you actually get a chance to pore over the geometric complexity of Aquamanâs chest armor or the intricate latticework that makes up Cyborgâs abdomen.

Surprisingly, all of the costumes are much more vibrant than theyâve looked on screen in a way that makes you wish Warner Bros. post-production color grading process were a little less aggressive.These costumes are absolutely gorgeous and when we finally get a chance to see them in theaters all together, we can only hope that Justice League gives them a chance to shine.
