If that's supposed to be a condom, then she should throw it out and get a new one- the seal's clearly broken, you can't see the circular shape of the condom inside the wrapping.

What is with the Literal Referred Animal Features approach. Batman never literally looked like a giant bat, unless he'd been injected with plot-serum. It was always abstracted and symbolic, and any attributed features were in the mind of the superstitious and cowardly observer. What does it say about designer perception of viewer intelligence that we're in the costume design equivalent of tell don't show?

gently caress it, just make him the new Oracle now that Barbara's up and walking. He's always been "the nerdy Robin", more or less.

He should get a wheelchair as part of the title, and be forced to use it despite being able-bodied. (I really didn't like how Oracle was handled)

As badly used as Samus' Zero suit frequently is that interpretation really misses the point.

I think a focal element is how frequently Samus's Zero suit is used is a problem in the first place.

They kept the unneccessary boob window-though it's still better than #2, which is straight up a costume for an exhibitionist (though they all are, really).

There's a youtube commenter who's currently really mad at me because I commented negatively on the "classic" Harley Quinn outfit in the new Batman game, which is a glistening, vacuum-sealed latex version of the outfit.

I can see her belly button through her outfit.

Eurgh, I never noticed that. If it wasn't skintight and latex for no good reason, I'd think that was a safe way to handle depicting the character, given the massive faults of the previous games. Argh, and I'd thought Knight had avoided the problems of City...

She only has that outfit in the Batgirl DLC, which is a flashback (yet another excuse to include more Joker). Her regular outfit in the game is this monstrosity:

The usual terribleness of modern Harley designs.

I don't have a problem with that one, or with the depictions of any of the female characters in the main game. City was much, much worse. It'll be interesting to see if the concept art for Knight is as mind-breakingly upsetting as the previous games.

I don't find it terrible because of how sexy it is, for the record. I just think it's horribly gaudy and kind of ruins a character that had a simple, elegant design.

Hey, think about it this way- with those metal links she's all set to go spelunking for some reason! I'm guessing this version of Harley's costume intentionally contains features designed to reference each version of the character and each game in the series, hence the combination of Arkham restraints, doctor's outfit white, mourning outfit skirts, and harlequin patterns. Which is a clever design idea, but a mess visually. Still, if we're at the point of complaining about visual style on a female comic book character in the Arkham series, Progress Has Been Made.

He's not attracted, it's that his mind is being eroded by the Lovecraftian nature of her bad design and proportions.

The root etymology is unrelated, and the racial use is virtually unheard of, especially intentionally. It's not something to worry about, unless the alt-right starts using it again.

One way to resolve this little infight: is this a Marvel or a DC costume design?
