Superhero Movie Costumes if Tween Girls Were the Primary Market

Sorry, Batman and Superman: you can keep the underwear part, but not the rest. Okay, Batman can keep the mask and the utility belt, but ditch the cape, for we cannot see your sexy butt with it on. You too, Superman! You can always tattoo your logos on your chests for identification.

If tween girls were the primary market for superhero films, would the superheroes have to dress like bachelorette party strippers? I think they should have to anyway. After all, the Fantastic Four reboot movie showed Thing wearing no shorts. Yes, he was nude! Surely it was for all the girl fans he has? And how come Mr. Fantastic never stretches out of his costume? Surely he would sometimes, right? And… Freeze frame on the DVR!

Do girls freeze frame the DVR for such things? I don’t know. But isn’t it an equality issue for them to be able to do it if they want to? I think the government should legislate hot pants for male superheroes, buttocks hanging out in the back, etc. Shouldn’t girls get to ogle as much as boys?
