San Diego Comic-Con Cosplay Spotlight: Gender Bent Justice League

rewolf7

you guys are awesome!

Fed_Up18

You can tell that I'm both geeky & a woman, because my only thought (besides, "Hey, cool!") is "Shouldn't she be "AquaMA'AM" & the female AquaLAD be "AquaLass"? Yeah, yeah, nitpicky - but I'm right! :-)

Roxanna Meta

Actually, as a bit of a queer girl, I usually just say I'm Aquaman! But the group likes to tease me about my prominent behind, so that's why I'm "dat 'Lass" LOL.

Kit

yeah but look at dat ass on Aqual(ass) yeah it's funny to us :/

Paul Wartenberg

It's been done. Superman/Batman showed us alternate realities and included one where the genders flipped for the main characters.

And one of the reasons why Marvel Comics have gender-legacy characters (She-Hulk, Spiderwoman, X23 (female Wolverine)) is that after a Benny Hill skit showing a woman hulking out, the Marvel lawyers realized they didn't have copyright control of female versions of their heroes so they started making them.

Roxanna Meta

I'm not sure why people keep bringing up that this has "been done" different ways, as if that's somehow a reason that WE shouldn't do our own version...?

acehomey

How come some of these names are wrong? Should be Superwoman and Batwoman, that's how the female versions are called in the comics.

Kit Quinn

we don't go by those names, because we aren't those characters.

Roberto Acevedo

I see, anyway great stuff. btw these are the characters I was referring to:http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Earth... :]

This is uber gay! .. oh never mind it is gay..

Miriam Breslauer

Thank you for your wonderful costumes. As a Feminist and Comic Book Lover, I have always been annoyed by the costume disparity between the sexes.

Totally awesome. My hat goes off to everyone involved.

Superma'am! SUPERMA'MAM! I MAY BE HIDING CONTRABAND IN MY PANTS!

Seattle is hosting a first-ever GeekGirlCon - http://www.geekgirlcon.com/, it would be cool to see these guys show up at it. :)

Textbook Leftovers

I really love your message and your beautifully crafted costumes. That said, I have been reduced to a slobbering puddle of goo over how hot you all are. Ladies and gentlemen, you are all smoking hot. :) One suggestion - more male skin please. :)

Toganni

Absolutely amazing, and you should all be proud of what you've done. Kit/Superma'am brings me all the way back to the golden era, she looks so amazing like she could fit in there just fine. Power Guy is hotter than Power Girl ever was!

Tracy Peckham

Very interesting!

Grendel

can it be Gender Bending if it's a group that have female and male members? I'm talking abut Green Lantern here, she looks lke one of the background GL's you see when they're on OA, give her red skin she could be Natu

Roxanna Meta

DC has already played with alternate versions of all of these characters, but in our heads, we were adapting the core group of heroes. We've heard a lot of "but there's already a Power Boy/Aqualass/Supergirl/Jesse Quick," but it's not the point - these are our versions of the standards we know and love. Mia Ballistic DEFINITELY did not want to be confused with any other Lanterns! ; )

Conuly

Why not? If the male members are taking the roles that are officially "female" and vice versa, how is it a problem?

Farley Smith

I like to imagine what it would be like to be with Plastic Lass.

Rsatx

One martian Maneater to go, please.

BonzoGal

As an elder (late 40s) female comic book fan from waaay back, I salute you. The Justice League was my second favorite series (first was The Flash). It always bugged me that the women were scantily clad while the men were wearing practical fighting garb. (Well, as practical as tights and capes can be...)

If you ever need a Phantom Stranger or Doctor Fate, I'm there!

Blank Look

I see they didn't bend the shoes, LOL. I'd like to see the men fighting supercrime in heels.

Kit Quinn

if we were cross-playing we wouldn't have changed the shoes to heels, but we're doing a sex swapped cosplay, so heels are appropriate for the women.

novium

These are amazing. It's funny how much of a message is sent by costume design.

Dongtacular

I'm kind of disturbed how well the female costumes fit on the guys, they looked like plausible characters.

Frank LaFone

If I looked like Power Guy, I'd go around dressed like that all the time! Unfortunately for me, I'd look more like Peter Griffin Power Guy.

toomuchscience

More men!

Lime Sage

This is utterly brilliant! Men showing some thigh and ladies covered. I love the statement it makes and the reasons behind why you guys are doing this. Lady characters in comics (and games) are far too scantily cland next to their male compatriots. There is nothing wrong with showing fom skin, but at least these forms of media should do it with equal opportunity among the sexes. Thank you guys so much.

Roxanna Meta

Thank YOU for your awesome, thoughtful reply! We love getting into the theory of it! Well, some of us do :D

I just can't believe someone brought a bow into California without being shot by the police 86 times, then arrested.

shouldn't power boy have a onesie on, or is powergirl topless now?

David Reynolds-Gier

Covering the top of a Power Boy doesn't have the same effect... I think they got it just right, i.e. barely legal.

Isis Nocturne

Awesome!

HEEEEEEEEELLO Kit!

Mosquito_neato

what's Ms Flash's phone number?

The Ghostwriter

This is actually a breath of fresh air from most crossplay.

Tony Seven

All above and beyond awesome. Flash is almost better as a female, and I think I have a crush on "Hal Jordan" now ...

Wonderful pics in general but yes, Green Lantern... oh my stars and garters. Simply gorgeous.
