10 DCEU Concept Designs Better Than What We Got
2. More Menacing Ares - Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman's Ares looked like something out of Skyrim, which is never a bad thing, but concept artist Peter McKinstry originally had a different design in mind for David Thewlis's mythical villain.
This version still evoked the Elder Scrolls but was far more menacing, with a horned helmet that looks like it was fashioned out of a demon skull. What the movie delivered was fine, but this would have been superior.
The armour Ares is wearing in this sketch looks like a better fit for the movie's lore, as it resembles the Amazonian armour Diana dons earlier in the film.
It's unclear why director Patty Jenkins ended up going in a different direction, but this is the one of the few things about Wonder Woman that looks like it could have turned out better.
