It’s the crossover that we deserve. The crossover we need!

In the past, I have empowered Batman and Superman for @bikiniarmorbattledamage, but a recent post abut Green Lantern inspired a complete Justice League shot. (Note that I didn’t actually do much to Martian Manhunter – his original designer seemed to empower him just fine.)
@kavkakat, you never disapoint! 🙂
Though I’d say Martian Manhunter could wear a thong instead of his usual briefs. Also, his cape should have a butt window, so we can bask in the glory of his empowered green cheeks.

‘Batman: Arkham Knight’ May Be Game Of The Year – But There’s One Big Problem (contains spoilers)
While most critics are busy either wildly celebrating Batman: Arkham Knight or raging over the poor quality of the PC port, this article talks about a very important point – the inevitable diminishing of the female characters.
I feel it would be dishonest not to hold their costuming as at least partially accountable. When developers put all their design focus on making the female characters appear sexy and exposed, then it greatly reduces the options for the kind of roles they can have in scenes. The can either be:
- Vulnerable and some sort of device (decoration, instrument, prize or joke but never a person)
- Spectacularly over powered in a attempt to subvert the costume and play the “so badass their costume doesn’t need to make sense” card
Since Batman games always put Batman as the hero, it means there’s scant few opportunities for the second option and they usually only get one bite of the apple. Ivy in Arkham Asylum, Catwoman in Arkham City and now in order to make Harley Quinn formidable (instead of the Joker’s puppet) they gave her what’s actually the most practical outfit in the series to date:
(Yes it is actually an upgrade on Arkham Asylum and Arkham City)
This is why video games, comic books and video games based off comic books can’t have nice things.

#empowerment
So I made this high fashion Batman for bikiniarmorbattledamage, and one of the comments I got on the piece, from warriortomaiden, was that he should make out with empowered!Superman. And well, I really could not resist.
So here they are, all empowered, complete with an utterly impossible and uncomfortable flying make-out pose and completely unreferenced anatomy. You’re welcome.
kavkakat, you are a treasure for gracing us with this!
