Comic Costumes

One of the biggest faults of super hero comics is relying on simple, gaudy costumes to show a distinction between characters. In my opinion its cheating. The real way to distinguish between characters should be their personalities and physical features, their costumes if anything are a reflection, or a result of that.
One of my favorite examples of costumes done right, is Batman. The famous rogue's gallery of the Caped Crusader features the majority of characters with exaggerated personality disorders and often their costumes are there to compliment it.
The Joker has been permanently scarred to look like a clown, accepts his fate and where's loud colors. Scarecrow is fascinated with fear and dresses as scary as he can. Catwoman is a thief and in the Darwyn Cooke revision has all this practical gear that a thief would need.

Anyway, here are some sketches for a new project about gangs. We need to make the individuals interesting to look at but grounded in reality.
