I know I'll probably gain a reputation as a movie basher if I keep saying things like this but.....that costume is absolutely hideous!
Seriously. When I first saw it in the pages of some Video Game magazine I thought "surely they are not serious". But then I saw it once more in Wizard and pondered "how can they be serious?" And now, I see it again on an actual human being and say to myself "great googa mooga! those guys are serious!!"
Now keep in mind, I'm not saying that is an ugly costume in relation to the attire Selena Kyle wears in the pages of Batman, on the cartoon, or in "Batman Returns". Oh no. I've read the little synopsis on this movie and this character and all by itself, as a astand alone property, I think this costume is just plain wrong. I really do.
The headpiece/cowl I could probably overlook as it's an ok item. But the rest of the suit simply doesn't work for me, especially not those shoes!! If this woman is supposed to be out and about kicking butt and taking names then why in the bloody blue blazes would she wear heels that high and that thin!? I mean, I hate heels on Heroines anyway as it just never makes sense to me. But then to see her in those type of heels, instead of the more platform-esque type ones that I would assume make balancing one's self easier, ti just puts me off.
Now then....the outfit itself minus the gloves is extremely nice, and I have no complaints about that. As an outfit. But as a costume it just seems as though nobody really sat down and thought that thing through. It doesn't have to be the suit from the comics or cartoons or previous Batman movies, but it should, In my opinion, cover up a lot more than that. Something like that just begs to leave skin scraped all along her midriff, shoulders and back.
Eck! Listen to me. Sitting here bad mouthing her clothes like one of the dudes from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy".
I make me sick sometimes.......
