Take a look at the Poison Ivy costume. I can safely say that that is the least sexy "Sexy [Fill in the Blank]" costume I've ever seen. Poison Ivy is pretty much as slutty as the comics still under the comics code can get away with. This? not so much slutty or sexy as "Here's a a green bag and some boot cover-ups. Try that on for size." (Does Poison Ivy even regularly wear shoes?)

This incredibly dim decision to de-sexify Poison Ivy seems to have happened to the Green Lantern as well. For most part, that costume is accurate for a specific Green Lantern, but it's actually more restrained than the comic costume. This is a sad commentary on the state of female superhero costumes. I suppose we should take Supergirl in shorts and be happy about that, huh?

I did find it hilarious, however, that there is no need bowdlerize Emma Frost's costume as she does in fact dress like a Sexy [Fill in the Blank] pretty much most of the time. My only objection is that I'm pretty sure that white top with side shoulder cape went with pants, not a miniskirt. The fact that it's inaccurate bothers me more than that its slutty. (Again, it's Emma Frost.)

...hadn't thought of that. Wow, think they recycled some old costume that wasn't selling?
