[perletwo]

Two panels from the current issue of Birds of Prey, in which writer Christy Marx solves one minor mystery...





So now we know!

heh i don;t know why but that makes me smile.

also when did Marx start writing this?

[perletwo]

She definitely wrote last issue, and I *think* that was her first.

[darkknightjrk]

Yeah, it was.

[chrisdv]

I didn't think Canary was wearing the fishnets in the New 52...

Then again, I have no interest in Birds of Prey, so...

[icon_uk]

Not fishnets exactly, but she's been wearing diamond patterned leggings since the reboot.

[superfangirl1]

So she doesn't have to worry about replacing or fixing her costume? As it repairs itself? Pretty awesome and want one. ;)

[perletwo]

IKR? It's like commenters were saying in the Batman Inc. last issue thread: if they've got all this super-suit technology like they had ready for Batwing II, why aren't the main heroes using it themselves? Well, Dinah is!

[icon_uk]

Does she have to worry about the zips healing over? :)

[fungo_squiggly]

Yeah, and Power Girl's supposed "boob window" is actually an impervious force-field generated by high-energy batteries and superconductive devices within her costume!

You see? There's a perfectly logical explanation for it. ALL of it.

[perletwo]

I'm still waiting for Jim Lee to explain the tactical advantage of Huntress' ab window...

[fungo_squiggly]

Because the ab window draws criminals' attention and encourages them to try and shoot her in the gut.

What they don't know is that it isn't really an "ab window." It's a very thin sheet of high-tech anti-ballistic glass.

Without it, everyone would be trying to shoot her in the head, don't you see?

[rdfox]

...do you really NEED an explanation when they're a Kryptonian and thus bulletproof anyway?

"I show off my cleavage because I've got a great rack and it tends to distract most men and some women. Not for long, but long enough for me to get a free shot in. And for a Kryptonian... one shot is all I need." Seriously, that's all you need when her skin's bulletproof...

[shadowpsykie]

yeah. i mean male gazy-ness aside (ass it has no impact on me what so ever), Powergirl's confidence in her sexuality is one of the things i love about her.

nothing against a great set of breasts (and it's only recently that, as a gay man i have been able to appreciate them) just when i think powergirl it's not BOOBS i think, i think "I am a woman, and damn it i am not ashamed of that"

[lieut_kettch]

And Zatanna's fishnets are actually finely-spun eldritch metal crafted by the smith-mages of The Royal Court of !ArakanbmgB' largh. Don't bother trying to pronounce it. You need three sets of vocal cords for that.
