Quote:Speaking as a lapsed SCUBA diver, I can say that neoprene of varying thickness is a lot warmer than it looks, and makes good sense for a basic bodysuit for J. Random Superhero (although I'd probably go with a motorcycle helmet and leathers personally). In a world with comic-tech, ballistic cloth should be lightweight enough for costume duty. Wearing lingerie to fight crime is just asking for scrapes and a bad cold. This isn't Supermegatopia we're talking about, after all. It's Gotham.
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.
Unfortunately, it's also network television, and as Mr. Theiss (I think that's his name; the costume designer for the original Star Trek) proved, titillation brings viewers.
