Not to mention that DC took Harley Quinn, who used to dress like this:



And made it so she now dresses like this:



This feels more like knowing your audience than some kind of shift in how they respected the character. Cartoon Harley comes off as cheesecake for the 10-year-old boy set.

"We don’t publish comics for kids. We publish comics for 45-year-olds."- The head of DC comics.

So yeah, can't argue with you there. The problem is Harley is one of the few characters they had who was both female and actually wore some clothes. She also has/had a huge female following. It's not exactly the same as the Starfire situation, but it's pretty close:

They've also had an all female X-Men comic going for over a year now, and despite lovely sales have kept on truckin' with the new female Captain Marvel. Not to mention Thor is now a woman. They might not be doing this level of thing with their movies (yet), but it's not like they're some regressive boys club either. Their new show stars a woman, the new Captain Marvel is going to be their first female led movie, etc. Compared to DC, both comics and film, they're basically radical feminists burning bras in the town square.

If you're referring to Agent Carter then I will take a second to recommend this show. It's an absolute blast and is the first superhero anything my fiancee and I have watched where she is super enthusiastic about watching it (she refers to most superhero media as a "guy thing"). Agent Carter is how females in superhero shows/movies should be done. She fights patriarchy and the bad guys, often times at the same time.

Original Harley Quinn dresses like a harlequin clown which makes sense as a Joker henchwoman. 52 Harley looks like she should be seating in Lobo's bitch seat.

Ferrell is not that strong. I know it's going to be terrible, but I like Ferrell and Hart needs a big movie so I'm hoping it's funny enough. The trailers didn't inspire confidence.

One more movie like this and Kevin Hart will have the weirdest niche in Hollywood ever. He'll be typecast as the black dude who helps awkward white guys.

No like all composite shots and all Scarlet Johansen. Even as Storm

If she can pass for Russian/Japanese she can pass for an African goddess at this point.
