5. The Atom

A lot of the costumes on this list are good because they’re translations of the comics.

But this one is different while still being true to the concept of the character Ray Palmer AKA the Atom is, in my mind, the third member of a lesser DC trinity. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are the classic DC trinity, the one everybody knows and loves. But for me the silver age trinity, the best of the silver age reinventions of golden age character names are Flash, Green Lantern, and the Atom.

Palmer is a unique character who has a costume with a great color palate, but not the best execution. It’s just another skintight supersuit with a cowl. The only unique aspect is the belt, which adds a technological component to the look. So the tv version took that and ran with it. Tech-ing out the Atom costume gives him a distinct look and one that lets him stand out from Flash and Green Arrow in a lineup.

While still keeping that iconic look of the Atom.
