What Are The Worst Character Designs You Have Ever Seen?

[TheMightyMonarch]

Two of Catwoman's movie outfits are just awful

This one would have been fine if it wasn't for the stitches

This just doesn't look like Catwoman at all, she looks like she belongs to some bdsm club.

I like Burton's Catwoman design. It's different but it fits the aesthetic. Berry's Catwoman outfit was ass though. Not a huge fan of The Dark Knight Rises' Catwoman look. But that's mainly because of the hair (Catwoman having flowing locks never sat well with me).

I actually didn't mind Pfeiffer's Catwoman costume. The stitching looked a little weird but it was a fucking Tim Burton movie. Still a much a better design choice than making the Penguin an actual penguin.

Halle Berry's costume was shit though.

I still maintain the Arkham games had one of the best Catwoman designs.

Anne Hathaway's was decent too, minus the high heels. That felt a little off in a series which was aiming for a more grounded visual personality.




90s Godzilla did have a long, heavy tail. Shadows just make it look stumpy in that pic.

To me, Arkham Knight Catwoman has the best outfit out of all non comic Batman media. It's sexy but still practical. I liked Arkham City enough although having her suit zipped down past her boobs was ridiculous to me, especially since that game takes place in freezing weather

How is that possible?

I agree Catwoman works best with cropped hair.

As for the practicality of her outfit in the cold weather, well, she did remark to Mr. Freeze she was sweating up a storm...

Wanna know how you take one of the most iconic Super Robots and make it absolute garbage? Reideen.

Spoiler: Well, Raideen is a god, right? Let's just put on a lot of gold.

Dexter's Lab in its final years. Poor Dexter looked like a fucking rectangle with a face.

 

[DatBepisTho]

He was voiced by Robert Englund tho. If he was a few decades younger it'd be the ideal casting.

I'm torn. On one hand, Englung...on the other a transtrender goth Riddler. Englund doesn't excuse the teribad design, tho. Imagine if they had gone with one of the more iconic designs. Dude would have been just fine, maybe even creepy with Englund's talents.

Just trying to live up to Timm, probably.
I'm going to go with the brief stint of Mohawk Riddler as worst redesign, personally.

Sad thing is Timms Riddler looked pretty decent despite the weird proportions Timms gave everyone.

-God, why did you remind me of that design? I had blocked it out from memory until now. Now I gotta be cringing at two designs.

While we're on the subject of shitty Batman designs, poor Harley's had a hell of a poor wardrobe since the good old days. I miss the jester costume. Now all we got is skanky Hot Topic bullshit.

I like her Arkham Knight look. It was "sexy" but I felt that it wasn't overtly so and it stayed true to her character. But she usually looks like a juggalo groupie these days. And don't get me started on her Suicide Squad look.

 

[POWER IN MISERY]

some of the armor in fallout 4 looks pretty fucking dumb as well

TFW you are a female Spider Man face looking mother fucker wearing a cowboy hat and you're also a double amputee but instead of arms you have weird ghost eel dragon things who steal rolls of duct tape

Are you kidding me? That design is very good.

Update: This comment was a joke people. Then again, I should have made it more obvious.

IIRC, that version of The Riddler looks like that because they modeled him after their original choice for his voice actor:

...which explains a lot. I myself like the design, especially after we saw what Riddler WOULD have looked like originally:

(which ended up revised into Cluemaster)

I will take "everything by Tim B^Uckley for $200, Alex.

Does it really count as character design if literally everyone is in jeans and a t-shirt?

 

[John Furrman]

Necron has a pretty gaudy design.

Have any other kiwis figured out how this guy even fits into the game? I have theories because it isn't completely obvious.

From a CN show so bad that it doesn't even come up when people talk about laughably bad cartoons:

I was under the impression that whoever was responsible for this must have scribbled these in his notebook in 4th grade and found it many years later and somehow pitched it to executives, but no. The creator was 22 when he came up with this.

I always liked Vectorman for Sega, he was this cool looking "orbot" ball-robot character that could do all sorts of cool things like fire lasers from his hands and transform and such.

He only had the 2 games, but they're both classics. In 2003, he was almost given a dark and edgy PS2 reboot though. Somehow he'd become a generic transformer-looking thing with a weird voice that used guns and swords.

Thankfully it was never finished or released.
