That's fair. No idea if it's meant to be leather, but even wool or other cloth material would be restrictive.

Another costumed that I didn't see mentioned was this Batman outfit I remember people talking about :

Probably shouldn't work, but it totally does.

By the way, why does Batman have no eyes?
It's the same mask principle as seen in The Animated Series--just go with it.

I think it could work but every live-action version I've seen with the lenses makes them convex and bulge out of the mask which is loving stupid, since in every version of the mask drawn that way it appears to be a flat plate put over the eye-hole. I mean yeah it'd be impossible to see out of that but that's how it's drawn.
There was a brief and effective nod to it during the climax of The Dark Knight when Bruce turns on the sonar thingy to see inside the building where the hostages are.

It looked loving stupid. It had little lips on the inside of the eyelids and it extended beyond the eye-holes. Then again this is a series of film adaptations that took until their fifth sequel to realize that the costume might work better if the actor inside could turn their head.
I guess it's been too long, but I just remember the eye parts of the mask basically filling in with a white glow for like 2 shots. I will revisit.

Speaking of horrible, lazy costumes, here's another one for Spider-Girl! But before you ask, it's not Mayday Parker, this is...actually, it's not really very clear. She showed up in a crowd scene an anti-drug PSA comic alongside the 616 heroes including Spider-Man one time (complete with caption saying who she was) and was never seen again. She was apparently created for licensing purposes.


So '90s.

If they had toned down the severe color contrast to match the original look, it might not have looked quite so doofy. Well, there's no help for those eyes.

This is the cast of the anime Hunter x Hunter. I've never watched it because I can't get past how eye bleedingly terrible everyone's outfits are, though. Are those not terrible?

Yes, "business suit", "long-sleeve shirt and pants" and "white button-down" are absolutely just the worst things I've ever seen all right.
