Love Tan's Magneto! But his women are NOT doing it for me. Canary has 0 hips and looks possessed and it looks like her costume was sprayed on.

Booth is a disaster as always.

McKone is AWESOME! I've loved his stuff in these posts! Hel and Spider-Man look great!!

Always liked Nauck's style but i dont like this invisible girl.

LOVE Walsh's Nosferatu picture. Dark and moody and cool.

To's robin is funny! I always like his work

Giarrusso's stuff is always amusing :)

I just don't like Peter Nyugen. I think he's a decent artist but his figures (especially the women) all look identical and too thinned out. I like his Batman Beyond here though.

LOVE Takara! and Francavilla's chair is funny :)

@TheGraySon: WHAT? Like who?

OMG can you send this to DC and be like "Here's your guideline. Use it."

I like the casting!! A LOT! I don't know how realistic some of it is though. I'm assuming it's more of a fantasy cast.

Superman: Good choice!

Batman: Fassbender maybe too old at this point, but it'd be a good pick

Wonder Woman: Megan Gale looks like the perfect wonder woman! i dont know much about her acting abilities and shes 37 but other wise YEAH!

Green Lantern: Nathan Fillion would make a perfect Hal Jordan! But he's again getting too old and he'd need to really get in shape

Flash: PERFECT.

Aquaman: I think Paul Walker looks like Aquaman, they're pretty and blonde with blue eyes with the right physique too but he's not the best actor...

Martian Manhunter: Awesome! I'd love to see Carl as John Jones and then use his voice for the CGI manhunter

DCnU designs are way too overdone. I like the classic looks. Maybe if they could find a happy medium between armory and over designed and iconic and sleek

@sethysquare: I'd look again. Booth's figures are wonky with tiny fists and scruncy faces. He is very stylized, he's just not doing a good job.

I don't know marvel, i don't read it so I have no opinion on marvel artists. Jim Lee is good but i do agree, a little overrated. Lifeield still does avoid feet (see his latest hawkman cover for the preview on this site). And yeah it's "cool" to hate Liefeld but that doesn't make him a decent artist.

I understand the difference between fact and personal preference. In this case, Booth may be to your liking but I did seriously think you were joking at first because he's so bad. And i'm not just an internet conformist. I study illustration and human anatomy in college and I know the human body and I know good art. I'm sorry but your personal preference is just bad taste. He can't draw faces. He cant draw natural human poses or semi accurate musculature or porportionate hands. He has no taste when it comes to design (cougheveryteentitansdeisgncough) I was going to accept that you have your own taste in art and i have mine but then you called me a conformist and I just couldn't let you get away with thinking you're correct.

Google Brett Booth JLA and the first image with all the classics. Horrible. Every character looks like they're metling. The Green Arrow cover he did? That's the least accurate portrayal of how an archer would even begin to shot an arrow. ETC. And you can say "He just has his own style" all you want but there are countless artists whose style isn't necessarily "realistic" but they're not trying to be. Bruce Timm is a great artist and his work is very cartoony because it's meant to be that way and it still works. Jack Kirby, Darwyne Cook, same thing.

@sethysquare: True. I understand Art is subjective but there is such a thing as bad art. Look closely at some of Booth's work. There's a difference between style and total disregard for human anatomy.

And Jim Lee is a very talented guy but I dont love his excessive use of lines. That's personal taste but in some cases like Booth and Liefield there's just not the same quality of talent.

ugh. dc just let him go. most people wont give the comic a second glance thanks to the cover. look at the awesome art on the inside. shame.

Right?! The interiors are great! Why use liefield on the cover? Or at all?

Phillip Tan's stuff is good but yet I don't love it. It always feels over drawn and it's too hard to tell what's happening. I like the stuff here though. His Harley is good beyond her broken hips but I like his pencil work better than his finished work.

I like Pollina's Superman! Styled yet strong.

Brett booth is a mess as per usual. His Red Wing is surprisingly fine despite the excessive and unnecessary lines and the tiny fists. But luckily the mast covers up most of the face so he doesn't have to try to draw it. Sadly this is one of his better pieces. A little barf came up at his Wonder Woman though. Blegh. That's not how people work. Her face is weirdly porportioned, her boobs are too high on her chest and hang too low. They look like squished balloons. She's got skinny arms and awkward hands. She looks like she's supposed to be kneeling yet kind of sitting. That's not working.

McKone is KILLIN IT on these though. His scarlet witch was beautiful and mercury was great!

Marcio Takara's stuff is always beautiful. I'd love to see him on a more high profile book.

Chris Brunham is pretty stylized but i do enjoy his work for what it is. His overly round faces bother me but that's about it. I like his inking style and coloring technique and his humor.

Ron Salas is very talented! I LOVE his inking style. His pieces come together so nicely with all the negative space and the heavy darks.

Dustin Nyugen is always one of my favorites. I love his style and his obvious love for the characters.

Michael Walsh's Joker looks perfect on that throne!

I haven't seen much of Asrar's work before but I do like it. It's a little...rigid but i really do like it.

Scottie young isn't my style but I appreciate his line work.

Jeremy Robert's JLA image is alright. I love the colors. But Wonder Woman stands out as being off. I don't know it's a good picture though!

I've always had a soft spot for Todd Nauck! Love it! Liking Robert Atkin's work and Paolo Rivera's art is beautiful as always. Same for Denis Medri.

I don't know why but i just don't like Agnes Garbowska's little characters. They're kinda cute but maybe it's the huge eyes that off put me. I think they're nice and whimsical but they don't do it for me like Nyugen's chibis. But i do love Chris Giarrusso's!

Are we still letting Freddie Williams II draw? Really?

Brett Booth's stuff is gorgeous as always.

I assume this is ironic.
