Does Anyone Think Catwoman Should Return to Her '40s' Look?

[dietrich]

robbing museums and hopping rooftops in such a dress isn't logical or practical but it reflects her Hooker past of sexuality over practicality so yeah could work.

Her current look is far too sensible and nowhere as revealing.

The "classic" looks I grew up with until the mid-'70s were the Newmar/Meriwether/Kitt one, as well as the green outfit from the Filmation cartoon. Having said that, the original costume from the comics is the sexiest, IMO. Yet, it wasn't really practical, so the black catsuit from the old TV show makes the most sense.

[Dr. Poison]

The current costume is a bit generic and blah IMO. I miss the goggles and the belt of the previous costume. The purple and green costume with the skirt, while iconic, is really impractical for what Selena does(crawling around and jumping from rooftops).

I do not like catwoman's current appearance. Not the suit or her short haircut. Actually, my favorite look for her is Jim Balent's take, which is a lot closer to the original.

Me too, I don't like the current one and I loved this:

As mentioned in a different thread once, that purple outfit with the green cape wasn't Selina's first Golden Age "Catwoman" outfit.

This was in an issue of Batman (possibly #256) back in the mid-1970s:

...While the contemporary design is that of a generic, tastelessly sexualized, "bad girl art" femme fatales that we have seen throughout that 90s and beyond...

LOL "contemporary design" ...." 90s and beyond"


Been around since 1941, strong, independently created, designed by a woman, scripted and drawn by a Woman. ...and for woman.

Who do you think this was for.

How can something be too sensible?
She's a thief for god's sake.

Obvious sarcasm should be obvious and how is that the line that causes you concern not the nowhere as revealing line or is that just par for the course?

[Zero Hunter]

No. That outfit would look ridiculous now and would just seem so out of place after the costumes she has had the last 20 years. There is a reason looks like that get left in the past.

[Timothy Hunter]

I fail to see how the current costume is "generic and tastelessly sexualized" yet a costume showing off her cleavage and legs is classy and creative. In some images, she looks like she's a slight breeze away from flashing someone.

You're right. I guess that is a tad hypocritical. But I still stand by my views.

It's hard to tell sarcasm on the internet, especially while used to people saying stupid things and meaning them without a trace of irony.

the 2nd part of that [bold] implies the poster wasn't being serious.
[At least it does to me]

Maybe they can throw in some glow in the dark too. You know, give her a bit more of a pop while she’s busy robbing or running.

She wouldn't need to do that if she does a live stream while she breaks in and robs a place . . .

You act like she can’t live stream a robbery while wearing a glow in the dark dress at the same time.
