Closer Look At 'Diggle''s New Suit For ARROW Season 4; Still Looks Like X-MEN's 'Magneto'

The CW and DC Comics have released some full body shots of David Ramsey in Diggle's new costume for season four of Arrow, and while it's certainly an improvement on that initial promo image, there's no getting around the fact that he still look like a poor man's Magneto...

After defeating his most formidable foe to date and riding off into the sunset with longtime flame Felicity Smoak, Oliver Queen left Starling City with the hopes of beginning a new life. But will Oliver ever truly be able to leave behind his past as the Arrow, and, if so, what becomes of the team he has worked so hard to assemble? Will Diggle, Thea, and Laurel be left to continue Oliver’s crusade without him? And with Malcolm Merlyn having ascended to the top of the League of Assassins as the new Ra’s al Ghul, is anyone really safe?
 

Well, this is certainly an interesting look for Diggle, right? In fairness, the helmet didn't seem quite so bad in that recently released sizzle reel, but surely the costume designers noticed the obvious similarities to Magneto! It's distracting, and takes a lot away from an otherwise pretty bad ass look for the fan-favourite Arrow character? What do you guys think? As always, sound off below...

The outfit itself looks pretty cool, but then when you add that goofy ass helmet...

It looks less like a magneto helmet when the visor is down, but stil... Weird design choice there. If he wanted to go for a tactical look or something, you'd think he'd use military gear or advanced argus gear...

BTW why is Diggle still killing people? Batmans sidekick would never be allowed to kill, since they steal everything anyways.

Why didn't they just make him Arsenal and have Roy as Red Arrow? Seriously? It was the easiest solution

WHy does he need a helmet?

I actually just watched the trailer to season 4 and it really looks no better then season 3 which is bad. I especially loved the absolutely hilarious voice changer Arrow uses at the end it was freaking ridiculous. I think I might actually prefer chain smoking Batman from the Nolan trilogy over that garbage.

That looks just great if you don't need to use your peripheral vision. For characters that rely on their vision so much, it drives me crazy that their (Arrow) costumes are so impractical.

It doesn't help that the reflection of lighting on the helmet makes it look like an "M" is on there.

It's not that bad. He's needed a tactical outfit for a long time but the helmet is overkill. Could have used something more subtle. I think they were trying to go for a Guardian look.

Looks like it should be in one of those shitty Star Wars movies.

Personally I don't see Magneto as much as Juggernaut and even then the Juggernaut's helmet in X3 was more practical.

It doesn't look like Magneto, It Looks like a piece of SHITE!

Look at his gun again it doesn't look normal, kind of had sci-if blade runner look, it may be similar to the icer guns in age at of sheild

I personally think the visor will be dark limo style tinted and the whol helmet will look more cohesive

That helmet is so bad. This is the worst look since Deathlok.

It is really weird looking, how did they not realise this before filming?

It would look ten times better if he just had a motorcycle type helmet with a visor hiding his face.
