I suddenly don’t hate Hal’s Injustice costume.
網タイツ・・・！私にはこう見えますよ。
This is indisputably a far more dynamic, exciting and empowering interpretation of Green Lantern’s costume than the menu graphics in Injustice are going with:
DC Comics, Warner Bros, Netherworld Studios… I’m just saying I think you’re sitting on a potential gold mine with DLC costumes here.

Allegedly this is a comic based off the Mars Attacks property… you know the one where our world, the one we live in, is invaded by whacky aliens?
Yeah, it seems that the comics don’t really care for that whole “relate to our world” angle and instead want to blend whacky aliens with cliche comic costumes and over-sized swords.
Interestingly, in the very first page the protagonist’s “dream” shows in a far less sexualized costume… I sense the meddling of Creepy Marketing Guy.

Wasn’t Mars Attacks born out of love for 50s horror movies and comics, especially schlocky ones and keeps referencing the 50s/60s aesthetic? This costume here isn’t even a reference to that era of sexism in depiction of women. It’s just random “gritty” late 90s/early 2000s-style black leather and random straps thing.
Saddest part, it’s still an improvement regarding how the comics in the franchise looked in the 90s, around the time Tim Burton’s movie adaptation came out:

Sometimes I wonder if Bluewater Comics (creators of 10th Muse) is actively trying to make their designs terrible or if they just have a complete lack of awareness on… everything.
Then I remember that they changed their name to Stormfront Comics (yes, they officially signed off on that before realizing it connected them to a certain group and changing it to “Storm Entertainment”… kind of) and think that they’re experts on “the ever-elusive female comic book demographic”.
