It ’s no arcanum that comic fans and critics alike have spent ten poking fun at the fact that most of their favorite heroes are just glorified hands ( and women ) in leotards , but nowDCitself is leap in on the joke in the most late proceeds ofTeen TitansAcademyandHarley Quinn . Between Harley ’s narration and the thoughtfulness of Diego , aka Chupacabra , it ’s become obvious that even in the DC population , there is such a thing as too tight leotards .
Costumes tend to be a huge conversation among fans of superheroes in strip and pic alike . It ’s rarefied that a new costume gets rolled out without at least some spirited and opinionative commentary to follow it . Arguably some of the most common call - outs surround the fit of said rig . DC specifically has been known to fall dupe to excessive tightness in their case figure . From aBatwoman comic outfitthat made it bet like her latex ensemble was vacuum cleaner - seal onto her consistence through her belly push ; to a DCEU Batman costume which felt the need to accentuate every ab and mamilla ; the laughable big businessman oftentimes gets transmit away in terms of their utilization of leotards and tightness … and they ’re not even denying it anymore .

Both of the creative teams behindTeen Titans Academy # 5andHarley Quinn # 5(Tim Sheriden , Steve Lieber , and Dave Stewart ; and Stephanie Phillips , Riley Rossmo , and Ivan Plascencia ) coincidentally find the 5th government issue of their several series to be the perfect configurations to nose a small playfulness at the classic superheroes in leotards trope . InTeen Titans Academy#5fans fix to see a flashback to the source of the Bat Pack , a group of three untried orphan turned Italian sandwich in training . It ’s in this flashback that Diego , pre - his transmutation into Chupacabra , escapes the orphanage in an endeavor to get a glimpse of Batman in military action . Unfortunately for him , he gets break off by Nightwing or else . It was probably the bunco of getting catch up with that stimulate him to sassily brush off Nightwing ’s behaviour as their brush by lay claim that he"had to get home and dampen his mode - too - tights . “That and the fact that shaver tend to call it as they see it .
Diego was n’t the only one calling out the skintight latex tendencies of Gotham ’s protectors . Harley Quinn herself made billet of Gotham ’s resident vigilante’s"way - too - tight - in - the - crotch bat costume . “The rather straight-from-the-shoulder callout is accompany by her questioning why Hugo Strange has his"panties all in a bunch"over Batman to lead off with . But consider it ’s coming from someone who has historically been no stranger to the world of mean - fitting getups ( Harley Quinn ’s first costumewas literally a full - dead body , hip - hugging fool suit ) , it ’s both slenderly meta and a bit hypocritical . Nonetheless , her commentary is undeniably entertaining .
After so many ten oftights , latex , and costumesthat resemble wearing underwear on top of pants , it ’s entertaining to see DC poke fun at what buff have been joking about for years … especially when it ’s coming from their own characters . Plus , the characters whose inner soliloquy are responsible for the admission make it even funnier considering they ’re a semi - striking , impertinent teen and a semi - insane X - villain . Even so , there ’s no doubting that there are still many geezerhood of tights yet to come , some more outlandish than others , and many more inventive ways for God Almighty to imagine them . Hopefully , in the meantime , Batman and Nightwing wo n’t take too much offense to whatHarley Quinnand theTeen Titans Academystudents have to say about it .
