Thanks for pointing out the interviews. I loved this piece from Randy Lander:
Barry Kitson continues to impress with every project he takes on, and his work on Legion of Superheroes might even surpass his artwork on Empire. His imaginative new costume designs for the Legion members look curiously retro, like the kind of thing that would have been done in the '70s, but they don't look old. Instead, it's an intentional retro look, one that focuses on when superheroes were arguably at their peak, and given that nostalgia is a basis for these Legionnaires' cause, it makes absolute sense that their costumes should look a little retro, with flared boots, high-collared capes and bright, even gaudy colors. Throw in a terrific fight scene between Legion battlers Karate Kid, Shadow Lass and the Precommandos and it's hard not to be pleased with the story's visuals.
Like we keep telling Barry. He space-rawks!
