Interesting analysis, Ebony -- I can't say I disagree with you. BTW, have you seen the excellent Batman/Catwoman fanfic series Cat Tales by Chris Dee, over at fanfiction.net? In the middle of a lot of other things, it touches a little on some of these issues. (It's also LOL funny in places. Highly recommended.)
I only managed to watch a few eps of "Birds of Prey" myself, but one of those was the pilot/first episode, and I have to say I was quite impressed. It was very nicely done, although I had some problems with how long the "superheroes are urban legends" belief would actually last with Batman regularly dropping off inmates at Arkham...
As for "Firefly", as I understand it, it was even further sabotaged by the fact that it was a serial story like Babylon 5, and it was broadcast out of order.

Quote:As opposed to the far more practical spandex? I seem to recall more than a few heroines and villainesses from comic books with similar tastes.
