I know this is going to sound ironic but I am 100% honest when I say that Ted Kords Blue Beetle suit is PEAK character design. Not only does it suit his character so well, having a suit that’s clearly from a different era for a character that’s struggling to find a purpose in a present that has moved on without him, but it’s also just a really well thought out design.
It uses 4 total colours (two of which are blue and one of which is black), zero silhouette design, and super basic shapes while somehow managing be iconic and super easily recognisable. You could see BB2s gloves on a table and instantly know they’re his, and they are just blue gloves with a black band!
And the design manages to keep being unique and recognisable whilst also being so simple and easily recreatable that he can easily be drawn in any pose, style, or situation without changing his suit one bit. And the artists at DC (and formerly Charlton) clearly know this since they saw his first design when he debut in 1966 and went “got it in one boys” and literally never changed it since.
as much as I love it being Nya or Cole, I think they’ll be missing a huge opportunity if it’s not Zane to be the one to remind Jay of who he is after everything that happened to Zane in season 11

The endings of 8x11 and 9x09 will always be superior and I will NOT choose between them my friend, but I am also a slut for smut and gcbbydawson makes some beautiful gifs over on Twitter.
