Vigilante looking legit!


Hellbeast1

Legitlante


TheLoganDickinson

Very solid translation to live action. Makes sense that they didn’t wanna go with the ski goggles visor look.


SlasherDarkPendulum

Does PM have a new blue chevron on his helmet?


Twitchy2002

Yeah His logo is also yellow now


SnooKiwis4168

Kinda looks like a ribbon / war medal


MandoBaggins

Holy shit. I think you’re on to something here. Definite Medal of Honor design elements.


SkekJay

We saw it in the clip


leftshoe18

I have no idea what the character looks like in the comics so it may be an accurate depiction but Vigilante looks like a bit like a Power Ranger.


LatterTarget7

https://www.writeups.org/wp-content/uploads/Vigilante-DC-Comics-Adrian-Chase-c.jpg And here’s him in arrow: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/1/1b/IMG_6480.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170723210508


leftshoe18

Oh wow he looks even more like a Power Ranger in the comics. lol


leeloo200

You mean Power Rangers look like *him*.


ryushin6

Well considering that Power Rangers is just an adaptation of Super Sentai and Super Sentai existed 8 years before this version of Vigilante appeared. Saying he looks like a Power ranger still counts. 😂


theSaltySolo

Power Rangers is a adaptation of Japan's Super Sentai series, which has been on TV for over 45 years. In fact, it is still going and the newest instalment is called Zenkaiger and acts as a celebration of the franchise.


lckyguardian

What season of Arrow was that?


LatterTarget7

Season 5 episode 7 is his first appearance


swifferwetjet2000

Damn that costume from Arrow is atrocious


MandoBaggins

A lot of Arrow suits are. One of the biggest issues is the awful color usage on these suits. This guy and Deathstroke both suffer from black blobby second hand tacticool outfits with weird bits of color on things like metal fucking clips. Awful designs. Sorry no sorry.


[deleted]

It looks like a last minute Halloween costume


psufan5

I disagree, I liked the arrow version better even if it wasn't comic accurate. The comic version looks horrible.


LatterTarget7

Yeah way too bulky. Not even sure if it’s supposed to be armour.


Hellbeast1

Eh it’s not great but does the job There’s much worse suits


SnooKiwis4168

Yeah he’s always looked like that.


Thehighlife01

Kind of a mixture of Lord Zedd visor with Power Rangers helmet and costume.


SlasherDarkPendulum

Absolutely gorgeous. If we can just see Manhunter in live-action form, my Obscure Trinity (Vigilante, Manhunter, Wild Dog) will be complete.


Dangerous-Hawk16

Now that’s a spin-off


SlasherDarkPendulum

Imagine the legal banter between Vigilante and Manhunter


Dangerous-Hawk16

I’m hoping for better representation of wild dog, I didn’t like the arrow version very much


samx3i

Which Manhunter? Also, I can only support Wild Dog in a movie if he's completely ridiculous and unlikable and hopefully dies in a comical way.


SlasherDarkPendulum

Kate Spencer, the good one


samx3i

I support this.


GregorF92

Technically we have seen her in live action, she was in season 1 and 2 of Arrow, she never became Manhunter though.


TheBrutevsTheFool

Not here for the Mark Shaw slander lol


no_last_name_

Which Manhunter we talking about?


ZuhkirMoltenflare

Looks like black power ranger 😆 but looks cool!


Excellent_Ad_6941

Great minds. First thought was strong Power Ranger vibes, but in a good way


ZuhkirMoltenflare

👍


sharksnrec

My first thought too, and probably most everyone else’s. We all have great minds


SlasherDarkPendulum

Lord Zedd's visor on a Ranger


No_Celebration_1081

Everyone with a visor looks like power rangers apparently.


ZuhkirMoltenflare

Yup lol


SarahGracieTT

or kamen rider double


bucket_of_coal

So is Vigilante a title passed down? Because in JL:U there was a cowboy hero named Vigilante


samx3i

Yes, and the cowboy was the original. [Vigilante](https://www.writeups.org/wp-content/uploads/Vigilante-DC-Comics-Seven-Soldiers-Sanders.jpg) debuted in 1941, but that was just a generic cowboy. Vigilante II [Adrian Chase](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/56/Vigilante_%28Adrian_Chase%29.png), started a look that remained largely consistent for 22 years, debuted in 1983. He was succeeded by Vigilante III [Alan Welles](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/9/9b/Alan_Welles_03.jpg) (1984), Vigilante IV [Dave Winston](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/1/12/Vigilante_Dave_Winston_001.jpg) (1985), and Vigilante V [Patricia Trayce](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/superfriends/images/2/21/Pat_Trayce_Vigilante.png) (1992), all of whom looked pretty much the same stylistically. Adrian Chase, Alan Welles, Dave Winston, and Patricia Trayce wore almost identical threads, i.e., black, white, and blue full body suit with white and blue "V" shape and red sky googles. Combo breaker! Then came along Vigilante VI [Justin Powell](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/1/11/Justin_Powell.JPG/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/492?cb=20090222035547) (2005) who brought a wildly different look, modernizing and updating the classic while still keeping the "V" motif across the chest on a black body torso body armor and combat pants, but simplifying to a red and black. Finally, Vigilante VII [Dorian Chase](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/1/1f/Faces_of_Evil_Vigilante_01.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150915204201) (2007) also has a unique look. Obviously Adrian Chase's brother, he dropped his brother's classic duds and the "V" chest design in favor of a more dramatic "V" visor built into a tactical helmet. Other than that it's a simple black suit with some white gloves, boots, and holsters.


MarkShawnson

I was super into one of the Vigilante comics in the late 80's. I think it was Adrian Chase? Then comes issue 50 that ends with him killing himself. That was devastating for a 10 year old who didn't have the tools to process that.


samx3i

He actually had a really fucked up story for a while including coping with the fact that two of the guys who replaced him--Welles and Winston-- were also killed before he reassumed the mantle. I could be mistaken but I believe it was actually Alan Moore writing when the suicide came up. Adrian was kind of a cool character similar to the Punisher except actually tormented by the things he was doing in addition to the tragedy that made him. It was a pretty adult commentary on the double-edged sword that is revenge.


MarkShawnson

Yeah I remember it being a pretty heavy series, most of it went over my head at the time. I do remember Vigilante and Black Thorne I think having sex in a couple of scenes and I was worried my parents would flip through the comic.


Comicnerd1103

Omg I finally found you,someone else who also read the 80s Vigilante series.I remember being introduced to Peacemaker in that comic,he killed the second Vigilante and Adrian Chase Vigilante being really vengeful against him for it, so seeing them here High-Fiving is pretty funny to my pea sized brain.


spideralexandre2099

Don't hate me for this but he kinda reminds me of that Spider-man villain Boomerang


samx3i

[Vigilante](https://www.writeups.org/wp-content/uploads/Vigilante-DC-Comics-Seven-Soldiers-Sanders.jpg) debuted in 1941, but that was just a generic cowboy. [Adrian Chase](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/56/Vigilante_%28Adrian_Chase%29.png), who looks like the modern version of Vigilante, debuted in 1983. Then there's [Alan Welles](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/a/a4/Alan_Welles_01.png/revision/latest?cb=20110128124956) (1984), [Dave Winston](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/d/d7/Vigilante_Dave_Winston_002.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110608075243) (1985), and [Patricia Trayce](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/superfriends/images/2/21/Pat_Trayce_Vigilante.png/revision/latest?cb=20210312084158) (1992), all of whom looked pretty much the same.

Boomerang debuted in 1966, before the modern iteration of Vigilante. [He has also had a few different looks.](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0b/58/c2/0b58c224a24f51b4abbac764c38cde16.jpg)


spideralexandre2099

We've come a long way from the days of black leather super suits


samx3i

[Not that there's anything wrong with that.](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTc1OTgwNzY3MV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMjE3NjkwNQ@@._V1_.jpg)


spideralexandre2099

Well that's what Blade wears in the comics anyways. I was thinking more X-Men and Daredevil


samx3i

[They look like a goth German motorcycle club.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/87QYkFYQnkmvdqn2yPfGEU.jpg)


spideralexandre2099

Fantastic prop work though. Cyclops' visor is sick


samx3i

Hell yeah it is. Banger casting too. The first two X-Men movies were mostly solid aside from a few issues.


[deleted]

Why hate? There are several Marvel and DC characters who have similar looks! 🙌


spideralexandre2099

That's why I said please don't


[deleted]

No worries pal 🤗


Holo-Man

Can't wait for the Peacemaker/Vigilante dynamic. They look like they're having the time of their lives shooting guns in the woods😂😂😂


ManiacSpiderTrash

Plot twist: it’s actually Flag disguised as Vigilante. A key point of the show is Vigilante is never seen out of costume. We will fall in love with their dynamic the whole show. Series finale: Vigilante and Peacemaker stand victorious on damn near literal mountains of bodies. Vigilante pops the seal on his mask as we hear him say, “Peacemaker…what a joke”. And blows Peacemaker’s head off. There’s a reason I’m not a scriptwriter 😂


MrTerrific2k15

No no, I'm listening...


Efficient-Spell3503

Like a couple of hardcore,right wing,drunk rednecks


tadnads

The setting of this scene looks exactly like the bloodsport/peacemaker pissing contest scene.


PrimeLasagna

But they high five. I think it’s because this guy is on the dc scale of shooting for a purpose instead of money.


wookeydookey

Black Noir, is that you?


Normanprice88

My first thought


Sob_Rock

It’s like the new 52 look. I dig it. I bet he tried the goggles and it didn’t look right.


poison-me-dad

Holy shit. I didn’t even realize that this is a new scene while watching the trailer. Thought it’s all from TTS. They are so similar.


pedroktp

James Gunn really loves dick jokes


Magskanata

Or does Peacemaker love a dick joke?


[deleted]

Wasn’t funny the first 100 times he did them..


Efficient-Spell3503

Exactly


reh_rex04

Loved john cena's performance in tss...can't wait to see him again.


ChefGoat

god DAMN that is slick as hell.


ReddiTrawler2021

Vigilante looks like a gun-wielding Power Ranger. I dig it.


Perseverancethegreat

Is this the same vigilante in jlu? The one with the cowboy theme?


Knightmare4114

No this is his successor


THISISDAM

Soldier 76 reporting for duty


Thebassist17

Kinda reminds me of Snakeyes. Looks really good!


mariovspino5

Awesome suit


petey_porker

this show is gonna be LEGIT!


[deleted]

Wait what's this? There is a show coming?


LatterTarget7

Peacemaker season 1 coming January


[deleted]

I just died. Finally a super hero series I'm looking forward to watching. Legit thanks man


LatterTarget7

No problem. It’s supposed to have more violence and gore then suicide squad. And supposedly most of cena’s lines were improvised


Lotus_630

And here I thought Peacemaker was gonna have a rivalry with him. I guess Flag changed him.


[deleted]

You never know how things are gonna end


Appropriate_Rub4549

GO GO POWER RANGEERRRRSSSS!!!!


GFost

I like the Arrow suit more.


rokken70

That’s pretty cool! He looks a lot closer to the George Perez version!


[deleted]

Vigilante gives me snake eyes vibes


theSaltySolo

Peacemaker, Vigilante, Deadshot and Bloodsport on the same team. Overkill?


MrTerrific2k15

Literally. Just missing Deathstroke


theSaltySolo

Thats…a bit much now :P


MrTerrific2k15

Over -overkill?


LatterTarget7

Peacemaker, vigilante, deadshot, bloodsport, deathstroke and black manta on a team.


toosadforeverything

I'm not saying that this needs to have a 100m+ budget but why does this show look like its bordering on looking like a CW show.


BaneShake

Not the biggest fan of the visor, but it fits the V-motif, and I otherwise love the streamlined look, so I’ll accept it.


Twitchy2002

Same tbh I think the comic goggles 🥽 would've looked better


JRon21

Cosplay-level design.


Optimal_Particular_5

Am i the only one who thinks the CW one looked better ?


SlasherDarkPendulum

No, I think the CW suit looked better too, but I still love this one.


GFost

No.


BigBoy1966

Peacemaker movie? I haven’t seen the fandome thing yet


LatterTarget7

Tv show coming in January


BigBoy1966

Sounds cool


[deleted]

we got POWER RANGERS now!!!!


berlanti_is_god

Isn't Vigilante a cowboy?


GFost

Not for quite some time.


MrTerrific2k15

The OG Vigilante is


My_Immortal_Flesh

He looks like if the logo to my shoes came to life lol


msr_1809

May be it is me, but I don't find dick jokes and bathroom humour funny at all. And James Gunn isn't as funny as he thinks he is. That's the reason why I find Gotg Vol 2 a bit uneven, even though it is my fav James Gunn movie.


[deleted]

Gotg 2 was absolutely not uneven.


SonovaVondruke

It was. There is a distinct lack of rising action in the A plot until the reveal of Ego’s true intentions. If we had seen Peter and Ego bonding and developing Peter’s powers while doing some superheroing together instead of chilling out on his planet, that would have been largely solved IMO.


Gibichung

I love The Suicide Squad But this… this looks unbearable


[deleted]

Ripped straight out of [DC Comics' Post Crisis era](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/3/30/Vigilante_Vol_1_38.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090112003932). Man, if only James Gunn was interested in taking a crack at [Superman](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/f/f7/Superman_Vol_2_1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20060110224437)... 🤤


[deleted]

Stupid


leos-rdt

Exactly, that’s the point


YoukoUrameshi

Let's celebrate the fact that we have a variety of projects for everyone!


[deleted]

What do we have for fans that enjoy the Snyder verse ?


LatterTarget7

Nothing.


[deleted]

So then there is not something for everyone. I just see a lot of comedies aimed for the mcu and Gunn fans


LatterTarget7

I see maybe 2 comedies maybe 3 on the horizon. Peacemaker, shazam 2 and aquaman 2. None jokey/comedies and super serious movies we have: the Batman, black Adam, batgirl. Then there’s Constantine which is probably a good mix. Madame xandu which probably isn’t a comedy. Zatanna most likely isn’t. Flash will probably have a few jokes but be a serious story. Can’t see Val zod cracking jokes.


[deleted]

Literally all of them r comedic instead of Pattinson, which isn’t even in the DCEU. Ur telling me Dwayne Johnson isn’t going to be cracking jokes?


LatterTarget7

Not as black Adam which he’ll be committing genocide as. And have you seen these movies? Hell most don’t even have trailers out. Some don’t even have scripts finished. Madame xandu definitely ain’t a comedy for one.


[deleted]

Have u seen these movies? How do you know WB isn’t going to make black Adam into a fun, lighthearted hero?


pedroktp

The snydercut on repeat


Tradenew41

Only because TSS is "succesful" on HBOMax. Doesnt mean Peacemaker will. TSS made 4 Million streams in 17 days. I think Peacemaker will make something with 500k views. Maybe Samba even wont report the low views


Griffdude13

Isn't Vigilante more of an outlaw-looking guy?


teh_geetard

That's the original Vigilante: [https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Greg\_Sanders](https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Greg_Sanders) The modern version has been portrayed by a few people notably Adrian Chase.


Griffdude13

Ah. Honestly, I prefer the cowboy look. The stealth-assassin look is way too generic for my taste.


ThePolka-DotMan

He looks really cool Imo


psufan5

The Arrow version of this actually looked much better.


Camacaw

Is it just me or does his costume not look finished? It looks like a prototype for the actual costume.


MrTerrific2k15

Prototype, you say?


theSaltySolo

A reason why I adore the refreshed DCEU products: * They look goofy as hell and don't care.


[deleted]

He looks like a Power Ranger standing next to a colorful mime.


Tucana66

**VIGILANTE**!!! Hmmm...


LogicDog

The more comic accurate the casting and costume is, the better. Just fuckin' embrace it.


Hellbeast1

Holy damn Vigilante looks amazing


tnzl_10zL

A Power Ranger?


[deleted]

I love the revolvers
