Earlier this year, God of War art director Raf Grassetti shared some awesome designs for characters from the classic Batman: The Animated Series to his Instagram page, and he recently followed those up with his interpretations of three popular members of Marvel Comics' X-Men.

Now, Grassetti has added Beast, Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat and Storm to the series.

Fans seemed to be very impressed with Cyclops, Nightcrawler and Colossus, with many feeling that the costume redesigns would be perfect for an eventual MCU X-Men reboot. It's difficult to argue, as Grassetti appears to have combined several different elements of the heroes' classic outfits while giving them a modern twist - something Marvel Studios has done on many occasions in the past.

Check out Beast, Shadowcat and Storm by scrolling through the gallery below, and let us know what you think in the comments.

@rebellion - that would defeat purpose of mixing new with old that be cartoony unrealistic Valkyrie in comics is white woman with blonde hair in movie she’s black no one complained about that not being comic accurate

@Necropolitan -

Yeah, she looks amazing. I wasn't a fan of the female faces in the Batman series but this Storm and Shadowcat look fantastic.

@dracula - They use it in Hickman's current X-Men comics.
dracula
dracula - 7/13/2020, 12:28 PM
@comicfan100 - good to know, like seriously in every cartoon and movie, they always just call her by her actual name
Doomsday8888
Doomsday8888 - 7/13/2020, 12:46 PM
@dracula
Well she was dead for the most part, but then we had her younger version for quite some time and...yeah, they called her Marvel Girl from time to time.

@dracula - I don't like the idea of Storm being introduced in Black Panther. She should be in X-Men first. Then in a future movie they should meet and fall in love.

But Storm needs to have her start with the X-Men. I even want to see Xavier recruit her and take her away from a life of thievery from the streets of Cairo. Thats extremely important to her character and helps establish why she's such a badass, even without her powers.

The Black Panther romance can come later.

Also, the first team should be:

Cyclops
Jean
Wolverine
Colossus
Storm
Nightcrawler

Then in the sequel bring in Gambit and Rogue.

Beast can be there too, but he should mostly be in the lab.

Iceman and Angel never really did it for me, so its time we saw Gambit done right and Rogue gain her super strength and flight. Which I would love to see happen in Captain Marvel 2.

Oh man...IMAGINE if we had another X-Men game...after so long.

I don't even know what Rocksteady is doing but if it's Suicide Squad then i would sacrifice that team game for an AAA X-Men game, give it to me!!!!


X-Men Legends III!
