T.Branch came in to our
September contest and
won it like a boss. To wrap up our month of anything-goes redesigns, he's sent us some redesigns of some of the women of the DC (new 52) Universe that are jaw-dropping.

| Power Girl |
"I reworked her ‘armor’ to conform to the DCnU details of the Superman armored look."

| Black Bat |
"I took away the cape, because I don’t think Cassandra needs a cape. She quite agile to begin with and so dangerous of a fighter that, in my opinion, it would hinder her somehow. Plus, blending into the dark is like ‘Batman 101’ and she does it better than most. She’s got fighting gauntlets for hand to hand and a back storage item for fancy tools and such. Obvious items like swords, knives and throwing weapons can be added onto her, but for more stealthy aspects of her, this would be the look."![]() |
| Manhunter |
"There’s not much I really changed except some of the layout of the costume. More protection on her arms, neck and ribs for hand to hand combat. She didn’t have a belt before, so why start now? And I gave her thigh high boots. I dunno why I did. It just looked….different on her. So, there ya go. A not-much-changed-really redesign."

| Donna Troy |
"I took elements from her past costumes, some of WW’s older costumes (like from Odyssey) and one or two from the current version of WW. I think pants work better on Donna, just because we’re (the viewer) is more used to her wearing pants? I took some armor pieces as this version is a bit more aggressive, more warrior like, than previous versions. The red top is a nod to WW current uniform but instead of a bust top its more of a wrap, hence the line pattern difference. Also gave her a weapon, much like the weapon from Hellboy 2, where it can extend its length from short sword all the way to a staff. and of course, stars….LOTS of stars, because it seems she’s always has had a lot of them on her costumes."![]() |
| Starfire |
"I kept elements from various versions of her and actually wanted her to have a look like a superheroic Dejah Thoris vibe with Kory. For her royalty side, there are many more ornamental gems on her costume. I closed her chest center, but kept it white, like she not-so-happily agreed to put on more clothes. I gave her a scar on her face for her time as a slave, a mark the slavers would have put on a Royal. Same with the ID tattoo. Its the reminder of her past."
What do you all think? I, for one, think these are awesome. Give us your thoughts in the comments below, and stay tuned for the announcement of our Superhero of the Year!
