Selina Kyle’s lacy red bra and its ample, curvy contents fill the first panel of “Catwoman” No. 1, published last year when DC Comics relaunched 52 of its most popular titles. By the last page, she’s straddling Batman and spilling out of her leather suit once more.

Catwoman wasn’t DC’s only female superhero to make her “New 52” debut in lingerie.

  1. Great article. It is interesting to see how women are utilizing technology and non-traditional distribution to tell their stories. I want to check out the one that takes place during the Revolutionary War it sounds cool.

    • The Emblem Returns: Fire Emblem Awakening April 20, 2013
      As I mentioned in my last post, the other new video game I played over the frozen months of Winter was Fire Emblem: Awakening for Nintendo 3Ds. I love the Fire Emblem series more than perhaps any other video game series with the exception of The Legend of Zelda and Metroid series, so I was extremely [...]

    • Another Plethora of Books November 7, 2012
      So apparently there was a hurricane here in New York last week. I had a lot of extra time on my hands as a result, so I pulled myself away from other…endeavors to update the blog. I’ve read a lot of books since my last “Plethora of Books” entry, and decided I should write a [...]
