While both Wonder Girl Cassie Sandmark and Black Adam sport darker versions of their usual costumes, Raven’s redesign is by far the most dramatic. Trading in her modest full-body suit and coat from earlier series appearances, Raven now wears an outfit that can only be described as darkly provocative. Gone is the empath’s leggings and high-neck long-sleeve shirt, replaced by a slip-like dress that leaves her legs completely exposed, with a neckline plunging nearly to her belly. Although she still wears her signature coat, it now seems more for flair than for concealment.
Another striking detail in Raven’s new look is the feathered collar, amplifying the dramatic intensity of her outfit. Combined with her decision to ditch shoes, the ensemble takes on a wild, forest witch vibe, underscoring her full embrace of villainy. Therefore, this costume not only represents a visual shift but also signals a deeper change in the alignment of the former Titan – from hero to dark force. Since the transformation isn’t tied to mainstream continuity, fans can enjoy it without the stress of long-term commitmentMaking it a change many will surely embrace.
