Two-Face: Both Dent and O’Brian are character’s who’re split between a law-enforcing side, and criminal side. Plas used to be crook but fights for justice, Harvey was once a good DA but now is a core crook. Who’s to say that kind of dynamic isn’t great?

SpongeBob had a house of his own at the age of 16 in 1999, what are you doing with your life?
I love seeing shots like this in old Plastic Man comics. Most action was low on the ground, so there being a lot of height and high-scale action is fun!
I also see that sometimes artists/designers give him black flat top boots with maybe a yellow stripe on them, which I find boring, and “boring” shouldn’t mix with Plas. I think giving him the weird spiky-topped boots from his first appearance would be an interesting visual!
And some may say “well what about his very first costume? That had lots of black!” And my answer to that is:
Look at this thing. It’s a monster and was turned into the classic fully by 5 issues.
There is also a push sometimes to add black to his costume, which I am not a big fan of. The black is tied to the yellow in his costume, and so adding more black creates an imbalance that should be resolved with more yellow. When it’s not, it often looks boring, I feel.

You know who I think would be real fun artist for a Plastic Man gig? Doug Mahnke.
He’s a stellar artist who‘s unique visual style can range from the hilarious to wicked to colorful to gritty! He’s a co-creator of The Mask, and worked on Plas a lot on JLA, he’d be perfect!
Except that’s not what happened AT ALL. In JLA Id, which the OP was actually thinking about, Plastic Man and Eel O’Brian did get split up, as did the rest of the JLA. But the point of the story was that their identities weren’t so clear cut. Made obvious WITH Plas 3/7
