So this thought just popped up in my head.
The uniforms that our beloved heros wear… what exactly are they made out of…
Now let us exclude Superman as one chalk it up to Kryptonian material, and Wonder Woman with Amazonian made leathers and fabrics,
I am talking about Batman, Green Lantern Corps , The speedsters of the Flash Family starting with Barry Allen,
I think most would agree some are easy to tell, like Green Arrow, and some female heroines are just normal clothing / leather clad, etc.
But like in the movies and comics, what is it we are to meant to believe Batmans uniform is, like especially the pants. or the outer " underwear " , I mean the cape we can chalk up to wayne tech material, but Batmans’ uniform ( i prefer uniform vs costume ) has changed over the years as we all know, from fabric to armored clothing, or armor padded material.
Remember that one Batman movie, where Batman is scooping up Bat Imposters, after they started shooting, and dude is like, * what makes you better than us * an the reply was, I don’t wear hockey pants.
Granted it was explained earlier as being some kinda military B.D.U anyhow you get the drift by now.
I think Green Lantern Corps uniforms and all Lantern Uniforms are energy based uniforms, which, to me, poses a bit of a problem, because if you are not dressed before hand in something that you can fight in, and isnt comfortable, like you are just chilling in your fat pants and a tank top, and you get a buzz to get into action an off ya go, and then whoopsie mid battle, your ring runs out of juice, bloop there goes your uniform. * awkward*
okay now lets dabble a tiny bit into reality,
real military B.D.U s ( battle dress uniforms ) are not that special, they might be to a degree tear resistant, at best, but that is about it, law enforcement uniforms are nothing super special.
cosplay stuff is well, the best ones look movie quality and are cool looking,
so what would a real Batsuit or hero uniform with todays materials be, and would they be functional or worth making ?
Because all I know of, is armor plating . armored padding on top of an outter uniform like S.W.A.T does, helmets which are bulky, etc.
