The Canaries on Arrow
Seeing them side by side, Dinah's costume seems much more wearable. We just don't understand why so many straps on Laurel's get up!
Quake in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
This is a very reasonable costume for some stealthier superheroing!
Daredevil on Daredevil
Matt Murdock looks seriously cool in Netflix's take on Daredevil's red suit, but is anyone else getting a grittier (less gold!) Flash vibe? But A freakin' + for the subtle horns!
Kid Flash on The Flash
Wally West, AKA Kid Flash, was really just wearing a perfectly acceptable shirt and pants and he made it work.
The Atom on Arrow & DC's Legends of Tomorrow
Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh) spent months building his super suit, and while it's just as busy as so many other costumes on this list, we can at least assume all the little bits and bobs actually do something.

Black Canary #1 (Canary) on Arrow
The original version of Arrow's love interest/partner, Sara Lance rocked the relatively simple black outfit and bleached-blonde wig like a freakin' boss—before she was brutally murdered by (SPOILER ALERT!) none other than Oliver's younger sister Thea. Thankfully, she was revived, and now leads a team of Legends who travel through time in an entirely different costume.

The Green Arrow on Arrow (Season 4)
Those pads, that hood, those sleeveless arms! There was a time when this felt cool and now it feels like he's about to perform in Magic Mike. Is that bad? Unclear.
Thunder on Black Lightning
Thunder looks like there's hardly a fight she wouldn't win, but why yellow and black?!
Lightning on Black Lightning
Lightning looks even cooler, but both Thunder and Lightning give us so many bee vibes and we're so sorry.
The Arrow on Arrow
This is early Oliver Queen, back when his outfit and his crimefighting were just a little bit simpler. It's not particularly exciting, but it did signal that this was not the Green Arrow of Smallville, but an entirely new and much darker character who had a much bigger future ahead of him.

Green Arrow on Arrow (Season 8)
Stephen Amell shared this adorable first look at his new suit for the eighth and final season and so far, we've gotta wait to see it in action, and in the dark, where most scenes on Arrow take place. It's unexpectedly simple and a new shade of green, but we don't hate it.

The Flash on The Flash (Season 1)
We used to really love this costume, but Barry's grown, we've grown, and we're no longer so afraid of the color red. This is almost purple in comparison to where we are now.
Mockingbird on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Mockingbird's time on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D was relatively short but her costume was pretty great.
Dreamer on Supergirl
This costume, worn by first trans superhero Nia (Nicole Maines) on Supergirl, is just fine, but to be honest we were expecting something a little more mystical, with nods to her family history and her dreamy powers. But this does feel very practical.
XS on The Flash
This is perfect just because Nora adopted her mom's jacket, from that one short time Iris had Barry's powers. It fits everything about this character, too.
Team Flash on The Flash
Vibe is looking cool, but the Elongated Man is not so much. Killer Frost is at her best when she leans into the cool as opposed to the cornier super suit, and honestly Iris' superhero look should always involve a luxurious white coat and a large gun.
Reverse-Flash on The Flash
Who knew yellow could be quite so terrifying?

Green Arrow on Arrow (Season 7)
Oliver really toned things down when he started working on the right side of the law, and it worked for him.
Supergirl on Supergirl
There's something so classic and simple but modern and sensible about this that fits Kara just perfectly, even if we still don't get how Kara hides that skirt under her regular clothes.
Wonder Woman on Wonder Woman
Listen, in 2019, this costume would be laughed out of the building. But it's so classic we physically are not able to rank it any lower.
Black Lightning on Black Lightning
There is almost never a moment where Black Lightning doesn't look like a badass in this techy update of the classic costume.
Batwoman on the CW
Meet Kate Kane, AKA Batwoman! Ruby Rose made her debut as the queen of Gotham in the 2018 Arrowverse crossover before starring in her own pilot, and we do not understand the hair, but the rest of this is definitely working.

The Flash on The Flash (Season 5)
Any suit that you can summon out of a ring is pretty cool, and while it took the red color a minute to grow on us, Barry's new suit and its perfect combo of classic and modern Flash quickly became one of our favorites ever.
Superman on Supergirl
Tyler Hoechlin quickly made a serious impression as Clark Kent/Superman on the CW's Supergirl, thanks in part to his costume that's relatively simple but also looks incredibly practical and tough. He wears it well, and this pic of these two cousins side by side honestly gives us chills.
