    It can be overstuffed yet still entertaining, if that's what you mean

    That's a seriously deformed torso. Guessing there's a CGI cape

    A Supergirl costume without the skirt looks weird to me.

    There is another picture of her standing with a cape, but it is really poor quality. From what I can make out, it looks like it drapes over the shoulders, probably resting over where the red on the uniform is.

    I never understood why she wore one in the first place

    I don't get this new idea that there's something wrong with skirts. We're a weirdly pro-pants culture.

    Because women should be able to wear pants. Most superheroines are drawn like female stereotypes anyway

    Sure women can wear pants, but they can also wear skirts if they like .

    This reminds me of the Supergirl reddit that got kind of obsessed with pants but then did a poll where the skirt costume won .

    No one said women shouldn't be able to wear pants - but the reverse isn't good either. Because women can wear pants, no woman should ever wear a skirt? Most superheroines don't wear skirts either. Black Widow, Captain Marvel, Batgirl, Zatanna, She-Hulk, Raven, Sue Storm, Vixen, Spider-Girl, Bumblebee. Pretty much it's just been Supergirl and Mary Marvel consistently, and sometimes Wonder Woman. Yes, women should be able to wear pants, but no one has ever said otherwise - we're just saying they can wear skirts too, and we personally like the versions of Supergirl with a skirt better.

    Um yeah, anyone can wear whatever they want. It's not limited to women

    Yeah, but how does that make society pro-pants? I don't see the point in complaining about female characters not conforming to outdated gender norms

    Well, I think it's less a matter of conforming and more something from a visual standpoint, but that also gets into character preconceptions and personal opinion.

    If Wonder Woman can wear a skirt on the big screen, I think it's fine for Supergirl to wear a skirt.

    Of course it's fine, as is her not doing so. I just don't get the appeal of costumes based on gendered thinking. I don't see anyone clamoring for male heroes in skirts

    No one was complaining about female characters not conforming to outdated gender norms - we were complaining about the lack of a skirt for Supergirl purely because we prefer that sort of costume for that particular character, and someone (you?) made a comment that made it seem like she and no superheroine should wear a skirt in today's world because somehow that's conforming to an outdated gender norm. And I just simply disagree that liking one particular character's costume to incorporate a skirt is automatically some semi-sexist rant about how women should wear skirts. I'm not asking for Black Widow or Captain Marvel or Storm or Batgirl to skirt up - just Supergirl, a character who has worn a skirt more often than not in her history. What's wrong with that?

    I mean, fashion is fashion, so...isn't that what it comes down to at the end of the day?

    If we ever got a live action Marvel Hercules, I'd expect him to wear a skirt.
