Poll: Catwoman?s pants

[jthwilliams]

Judging by batman's muscle detail, I'm just going to assume clothes are absurdly form fitting in that universe.

You do have a point.

**looks at photo**

Okay.

Looking at that, I don't think you could do that without Spandex. Or body paint. I can't think of anything else form-fitting enough (latex and rubber are generally too stiff for that much form-fitting).

So yeah... spandex. Doesn't make for very good armor.

 

[jthwilliams]

I think we can chalk this one up to you spending way too long staring at the box art and not enough playing the actual game.

also a fair point, but couldn't play in the car on the way back from the games store.

If this is about giving the boys something to gawk at, then Marcus Fenix should wear tiny little pink shorts and a more colorful bandana to cover all the male demographic bases.

It's not her pants, it's her skin... Actually no, it's just sexualization.

 

[Zhukov]

Eh, it's a female arse in a video game marketed to males. Logic has no place here.

Usually I'd roll my eyes at this sort of thing, but I'm pretty sure Catwoman has always been heavy on the fanservice. If the developers put her in sensible clothing they'd probably get stoned to death by incensed Batman fans for not staying true to the source material.

 

[tthor]

its catwoman, she is by nature a major flirt and likes to go for the 'sexy' image, as well as being very acrobatic. so the fact that she would want pants costum-fitted to her ass isn't all that surprising.

 

[tthor]

Not the only one buddy.

Spoiler

now THAT is a goddamn wedgy...

 

[scorptatious]

I am man and I am pleased.

If female characters want to wear skin tight stuff then who am I to stop them? Why would I want to?

My sentiments exactly.

OT: Yeah, it's pretty much sexualization. Can't say I'm surprised though, as far as I remember, Catwoman was always like that. Maybe not in the Adam West tv show, but I've barely watched that, so I wouldn't know.

 

[Nathan Crumpler]

Yes, she's wearing a formfitting suit that's sculpted around her butt... She also dresses like a cat and robs people. Also, the guy chasing her is dressed like a giant bat. The world they live in is already ridiculous.

 

[Unesh52]

Well, my girlfriend claims that she wears thongs because they're genuinely more comfortable to her. Not sure if she was bullshitting me, but maybe having the wedgie from hell is just a personal preference.

It's the magical joy of spandex, see figure A

 

[Zero_ctrl]

Wow, its hard to take bioware seriously when all the female characters are so......riiiiiiight.

Miranda's ass/breast hugging suit? An alien who's races primary feature is it can fuck anything? A shy submissive fangirl alien? Am I the only one who sees a pattern?

I guess there's Jack who doesnt fit in the mix, but she sleeps around with whoever so....

You do realize this thread is about Arkham City's Catwoman and not Bioware games, right?

But yeah, her pants (judging by that photo posted above) are entirely possible. Do you watch any women's sports? Yeah. Oh yeah.

 

[ckam]

There's this thing called IMPOSSIBLE CLOTHING. Kind of like breastplates that replaces bras. Kind of.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Not the only one buddy.

Spoiler

they pour it on her o.0?! holy crap

ot: um, ... who cares? its a game, its pretty normal now days

Basically my reaction to seeing this.

I was commenting on the person who brought up miranda's pants, just made me realize something. But yea those pants are usually cloth, tight leather would do the same, but its still a bit ridiculous -_-

 

[Warforger]

So I bought Arkham City today and while looking at the box art, I noticed that there is something very strange with Catwoman?s pants. They form fit her butt. Pants wouldn?t do that, not even latex or rubber, it would stretch flat across the peeks of the butt cheeks. In order to achieve the image the seat of the pants would have to be made from hand crafted and fitted hard leather, rubber, latex. Further it would probably end up being somewhat bulky.

So why someone who buy and pay for specially handcrafted weggy from hell escapes me. Though I would gladly volunteer to take the measurements.

I guess we can chalk this one to the sexualization of female characters. Not only did the cat suit need to be skin tight, but it must follow ever curve and be a very literal second skin.

P.S. If anyone ever needed a criteria to determine if someone was wearing a costume or merely had on body paint, it strikes me that seeing how it shaped around the butt would be a perfect telling factor. Though I cannot think of a reason you would ever need to make that distinction.

Have you never seen yoga pants? Like at all? But that's actually not sexualization of females, it's comics in general. Just the men, their clothes are so tight that their abs poke through with the same definition they would have if there weren't any clothes on. If anything it's better because she has a zipper and it doesn't bulge into her belly button as other super heriones do.
