    As we all know, come June Ben Percy and Patrick Zircher will be the new creative team on Green Arrow. With a new artist comes a new look.

    So, what do the fans want? The return of the Van Dyke and jaunty feathered cap? No more ski goggles? What are your predictions for Ollie's new duds?

    I'm kind of already talking about this in my thread for the new creative team

    but I'm hoping for a design similar to Sorrentinos, I like the domino mask

    @mrnoital: Sorrentino's design? You mean the regular New 52 costume? Post a link to your thread.

    @the_tree: I thought the Brightest Day design was a great modern take on Green Arrow.

    This ^ (proper mask)
    This ^ (proper mask)

    @mrnoital: Andrea Sorrentino made it look better than anyone else, but I've never been a huge fan of the New 52 costume. Where is that last picture from? Oliver looks like a mad scientist.

    @longbowhunter: that's from the most recent run, I think it was their second issue

    personally I like the leg and forearm guards, it just kinda makes sense, for protection and better for hitting people

    @mrnoital: From a practical stand point the leg and arm guards certainly make sense. I've just never been crazy about practical superhero costumes. My favorite Batman is still the old blue/gray Neal Adams style costume. Either way I'm excited to see what Zircher is going to do with the redesign.

    @longbowhunter: everyone has their own preferences, I like them, probably my favorite moment from the recent run was when he already shot an arrow through a guy, then kicked him in the arrow, to make it go through and into another guy

    but yeah, definitely excited to see what he comes up with

    Well, here it is. I like the longer hair and the domino mask in place of ski goggles. The design of the suit itself doesn't look too different. Honestly I was hoping for something cleaner and less busy looking. The soft boot things are very strange. Also give him facial hair or don't, I'm tired of the stubble. What does Comic Vine make of Ollie's new look?

    Apparently this is a work in progress. Not the final Green Arrow design.

    I guess so. Seems like the right direction for the book to head.

    I like my GA less techy. Shows he has natural skill as opposed to having a technological advantage.

    But we all know that GA has natural skill. There's nobody that can question that, so I don't think having a little tech should be a problem.

    @scouterv: I like the trick arrows. Other than that I prefer Oliver more low tech. Plus I'm a domino mask guy. I hated the goggle look and I hate Hawkeye's dumb glasses.

    Looks Green Arrow-y! Don't really care for the hair (on his head or on his face). I just hope it leads to a beard.

    I'd like to see it complete in its "dark, hard-edged" context.

    I didn't read Futures End but I love this look.

    @longbowhunter: Yeah, it's pretty cool. I initially thought they might make it more like Futures End and go for a poncho/mountain man look.

    I wish the new one was a bit more outside of the box, so far it just reminds me of the other modernized suits we've gotten with Smallville and the New 52.

    Yup, I want more Robin Hood less Justin Hartley.

    @the_tree: their back story is sketchy, in Lemires run they said that Roy and Diggle met and worked together with Ollie, but in RHATO they basically said he worked at Queen industries, but never with Ollie as Green Arrow

    I'd like it to be fleshed out more

    I'm actually really surprised Lemire didn't jump on that. Seems right in his wheelhouse.
