From Comics Alliance‘s roundtable on The fashion of the new DC universe, Laura Hudson pinpoints what bothers her about the female heroes wardrobes:
I really wish we had artists who were thinking about how these characters would dress themselves. I bet a lot of them would dress sexy! But this is like — did you ever watch Beauty and the Geek? These women look how the girls did when the guys went shopping for them. Female superheroes always have the guys going shopping for them. Well, almost always.
The picture above shows one of the worst re-imagined costumes: Harley Quinn’s new outfit. Here’s what she actually looks like, as originally designed by her creators Paul Dini and Bruce Timm for the old Batman animated series, creating one of the classic Batman villains, one of the few modern ones to be as iconic as the Joker or Catwoman or the Penguin. This new look? Not so much. Far too stripperific.
