Catwoman is the only major female character whose costume has heavy boots and bug-eye goggles that cover her eyes and most of her beautiful face. Darwyn Cooke said he wanted to make Catwoman less sexy and more practical looking. (I should mention he just did the same thing with Batgirl, which all of my friends on Facebook blasted) That doesn't make sense to me because cats are feminine, soft, lightweight, and sensual. Catwoman was created to be a femine antithesis to Batman, according to Bob Kane. A utilitarian outfit like hers just doesn't make sense for a femine, seductive, cat-burglar. Work boots, aviator helmets, and goggles simply are not attractive.
Also, I can guarantee you that more men, and even women, find women with longer hair more attractive and more sexy. I'm not that opposed to Selina having short hair, but I think she looks better with medium- (like Michelle Pfeiffer and Camren Bicondova) to longer hair, like she used to have before Darwyn Cooke's style.
