It doesn’t seem like a BC uniform without them. They are so classic.

Agree. It really doesn’t. They distinguish her no matter what else she’s wearing.

[Mae]

Now that DC is making a Zatanna movie, I wonder if they’ll go for fishnets with her.

[Razzzcat]

She another one—fishnet has to be somewhere—even if it’s just her gloves!

[DeSade-acolyte]

I hope so. I love her “Vegas” look.
It looks like a Vegas female magician costume which I think helps make people underestimate her.

I mean Henry Cavill spends half the trilogy shirtless, I feel like

It’s funny, there’s a behind the scenes or blooper reel video where Cavill talks about how dignified it is running around with his shirt off covered in baby oil.

That said, about Power Girl and the ‘boob window,’ I think Gail Simone said it best:

Some writers I really love have spent an awful lot of time trying to explain why Power Girl would have a window in her costume that shows so much boobflesh.

I appreciate the effort, guys, but I think it can be summed up in two sentences, which I will post at the bottom of this post.

The thing is this, if ALL the characters are dressed like Power Girl, yeah, it’s a problem. But individually, Power Girl is one character who I can TOTALLY SEE dressing like that. When they covered her up, it no longer FELT like Power Girl. It felt like a weird compromise, like saying, Cover your shame, woman!

Having A character dress any possible way is always defensible if it fits their character. The problems arise when ALL of them are dressed purely sexually, or when characters where it doesn’t fit, like Mary Marvel for example, start going around mostly topless.

I ‘hear’ Power Girl’s voice in my head when I write her. And I think she would say these two sentences, which kind of end the discussion.

“I like the way it looks. And I don’t give a *&^% what you think.”

[IssacBrown]

On the fishnets I vote: yea

[Mae]

And Ben Affleck’s buns?

[IssacBrown]

We’ve got to be fair

“I like the way it looks. And I don’t give a *&^% what you think.”

Yep, that is Karen Starr to a “t”.

@Razzzcat

Let all the dudes fight crime like this and THEN I’ll forget all about the completely unrealistic cleavage and thongs on the ladies.

ALL DUDES…

not that any superheroes look like Chris Farley but sometimes clothed is best… Sadly, both have left us but we still have memories.

[iJest]

yes plz

[ejdias.95910]

Sorry, didn’t mean to shut down the chat…

[TheCosmicMoth]

Moth walks in wearing a fake mustache and monocle.

Jolly good day, everyone! My moniker is Harry Butterfly and I am here to take part in your WAL! I am a smashing person and am definitely not like that “Moth” character I’ve been hearing so much about.

[Jay_Kay]

Just put it on Netflix and it looks like they put a new cover logo and preview clip for it.

[iJest]

Nice to meet you Mr Butterfly You’re looking quite dashing.

[TheCosmicMoth]

Why thank you, thank you, @iJest! It is important for a gentleman to look his best and what have you!

[Razzzcat]

Hey now- everyones got a type!
