DC Reveals Exciting New Anime Designs for Wonder Woman & Supergirl

Wonder Woman and Supergirl are two of the most recognizable and beloved female heroes in the DC Universe. Despite some changes to their appearances over time, both characters remain instantly identifiable.

Wonder Woman and Supergirl have iconic designs that are instantly recognizable, even if drawn in a completely different style – like you might see in Japanese manga or anime. A new variant cover recently showcased this, presenting both heroes with strikingly unique appearances.

Wonder Woman & Supergirl Go Anime In Justice League Unlimited #24 Variant Cover

The cover art for the 24th issue of Justice League Unlimited has been revealed, along with several alternate cover designs. One design features a fresh, new look for two of DC’s most famous female heroes that will likely appeal to fans of manga and anime.

This artwork presents Supergirl and Wonder Woman styled as characters from Sailor Moon. Created by Naoko Takeuchi, the author and artist of the original manga, Sailor Moon centers on a team of young women battling supernatural threats while famously wearing short schoolgirl skirts.

The illustration prominently features short skirts and thigh-high boots, common stylistic choices in manga. Characters like Kara Zor-El and Diana of Themyscira have the large eyes and heart-shaped faces typical of the medium. While Diana’s new costume is fairly recognizable—with its red top, gold bustier, and blue skirt—Kara’s outfit is particularly striking, featuring a golden House of El crest, white detailing, exposed shoulders with ruffled sleeves, and a gold trim at the hem of her skirt.

Artist Rachta Lin created the cover art, bringing her signature manga style to the project. She previously redesigned the cover for Absolute Catwoman as a special edition for New York Comic Con, and also created a striking variant cover for Absolute Batman #13. Recently, she designed another popular variant cover.

Justice League Unlimited #24 Sees The DC Heroes At A Disconnect

Rachta Lin’s cover art for Justice League Unlimited #24 hints at a close, effective partnership between Wonder Woman and Supergirl, implying they’re a powerful team ready to take on any challenge. Unfortunately, the Justice League itself isn’t currently functioning with that same level of cooperation.

The latest announcement shows that after a recent conflict between Batman and Lex Luthor caused significant problems, the team is now facing tension. Their best chance at resolving things seems to be relying on Superman’s return.

The recent, devastating conflict between Lex Luthor and Batman has fractured the Justice League, leaving its members deeply divided. However, a new crisis is emerging – a threat from the future – that will force them to reunite. Characters like Dreamer, Brainiac Queen, and Red Tornado are all struggling for control of what’s to come, and only Superman’s return offers any hope of restoring order.

The newest installment of the Justice League Unlimited comic series, part of the All-In initiative, features writing by acclaimed creator Mark Waid, known for his iconic 1996 series Kingdom Come, and also a writer for The CW’s Arrowverse shows. Dan Mora, the artist behind the popular World’s Finest comic, provides the illustrations.

Justice League Unlimited #24 flies onto the shelves on Oct. 28, 2026.
