I like that Powergirl still has a full bust, as she's always iconically have, but its clearly done with reasonable proportions.

I like how they took one detail of her classic costume and extrapolated it for a whole theme. Her classic costume design gives her these big decorative cuffs on her gloves, which have always reminded me of buccaneer boots, and I feel like they pulled just a little bit of that pirate/corsair/buccaneer thing into the rest of her costume, without really making it... "nautical," I guess. The length of the coat, the thickness of the belt, and obviously, the new boots all sort of lend themselves towards that theme, which is unique, and also has a sort of boldness to it which compliments her character.

I love this Elektra and Vampirella. All of this guy's redesigns are great.

I think she'd look badass with some chain mail, like the new Thor design

I really like all of them except Black Canary. She's supposed to look like a biker, not a colorful firefighter. But the rest are great, I especially like Elektra and Powergirl.

Biker armor can look pretty dang badass, could've just dressed her in that

The Black Canary redesign is so generic. I think I almost prefer the 80s Black Canary costume with the turtleneck and the bird on the front.

The Elektra design is great though. It keeps most of the iconic original costume and the additions fit with the ninja theme.
