So, we finally have a picture of Batwoman...

[trustyside-kick]

Same. That is a cool pic too.

 

[batmaluco]

Teh Hawt!
Nice boots.

 

[Fledermaus]

That is a great costume. Vagina-ized is my new favorite word.

I'm not a big fan of the Batman Beyond costume. That's probably why I don't really like the new Batwoman costume.

 

[CConn]

We should storm DC headquarters and make them change it.

Does anyone here know Weather Wizard?

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Yeah, it worked for me. Figures too, I mean if she's STEALING the Mantle of Bat's namesake (only feminizing it) then go ahead and steal the costume as well.

 

[BatmanBale]

cool picturE

 

[Binker]

Whats wrong with it? I like it.

 

[Two-Face]

Whats wrong with it? I like it.

For some people it's too "Batman Beyondish"

 

[Binker]

The only thing "Beyond-ish" is the symbol. Because of that, there shouldn't be any problems.

The three known Batwomen is Silver Age, MOTB, & the one from Superman/Batman. I would want something that wasn't a reused from the other Batwomens and there itis.

Too many Bat people running around. Batwoman, Huntress, Batgirl,(is she still around?) Nightwing,(and there's like 50 of them now) Robin, Jason Bard. Did I miss any? On a related note, did I hear right that the JSA has moved into Gotham OYL? Gotham should always be Batman's town.

 

[CConn]

Batgirl's gone, and Huntress is really quite seperate from Batman anymore...

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I just don't like the design of the suit. The mask should be attached to the costume. I think I'd like it better that way.

Oh, and if Batwoman didn't have a penis. Yeah, that too would be awesome.

 

[The Riddler]

wow, that's terrible.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Three guesses who it is.

Her mask looks like a plastic Halloween mask that is tied on with that gray rubber band. Her utility belt doesnt seem practical. It looks a little loose.

 

[trustyside-kick]

??? How can you compare it to real things when it is a drawing. Looks like a halloween mask? the belt?

 

[Cobblepot]

Ed Guinness his design is way hotter!!

 

[Till_the_End]

Normally I try to be very positive. But I really hate this design.
I don't mind the Batman Beyond, nor do I think that there are too many bat-people.
It is just not very cool.
But who knows, it's only one picture.
I really love Oracle so I hope it isn't Babs. But it certainly looks like her.

 

[union_jak]

Compare the picture of Batwoman to the cover of Batgirl: Year One.
The pose is identical, and the belt is just as loose.
I think this is intentional.

 

[CConn]

Well, now that I've stared at it for about a week, I have to say, the only thing I really dislike about it is the mask. Obviously they are trying to harken back to the original Batwoman of the '50s, but that costume sucked so...

Other than that it's not bad at all - Batman Beyond rip-off sure, but red is really the only way to go after they've already done grey, blue, yellow, etc. with Batman and Batgirl's various costumes.

It seems like most people's problem with it (in this thread, at least) is simply them not liking this particular artist's interpretation of the design. The supposed tranny look, maybe even the loose belt are simply because of how that particuar dude drew it. It'll probably look quite better once a better artist gets a crack at it.

[BatFerret]

...The loose fitting belt and red hair...

 

[Phoebe Dark]

I don't see what all the fuss is over the costume, reguardless of who's under the mask. Just because it isn't the genaric cowl/cape in tones of blue/black/grey or even yellow.


Interestingly, you can see verious different versions of Batwoman in that outfit:

The mask is a very big throwback to Kathy Kane's Pre-Crisis mask.

The symbol is obviously from TNAB "The Mystery of the Batwoman"

The red has been a reoccuring color in almost all versions of Batwoman:
Kathy Kane, Pre-Crisis
Bette Kane, Post-Crisis in an alternate future "Titans of Tomorrow"
Batwoman in TNAB, "The Mystery of the Batwoman"

It looks pretty obvious with Catwoman having a baby and naming her 'Helena' and now the 'new' colors and style of 'Batwoman's costume that DC Comics is going through a retro-phase and basically just casting nods to it's Pre-Crisis stories and characters.

Kathy Kane Pre-Crisis, notice the colors and mask.

Bette Kane aka "Flambird" in "Titans of Tomorrow", notice colors, mask and belt

Batwoman in "The Mystery of the Batwoman" Notice the colors and symbol.

 

[deemar325]

Three guesses who it is.

Alright that's pretty lame I'm losing interest in DC again.

 

[deemar325]

The whole idea of a Bat anything other than Bruce Wayne as Batman is lame.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Batwoman in "The Mystery of the Batwoman" Notice the colors and symbol.

I personally liked that suit as well as the movie.
