Pants... on superheroines (petition)

strredwolfYou know that DC's rebooting their entire universe (again), and they're making over everyone. DC wants to slap pants on the superheroines.
Ben Carver, a good friend from Comic Genesis, has started up a new petition called No Super Pants! If you don't want your superheroines like Wonder Woman, Zatanna, Power Girl, and Black Canary to have pants, sign that petition.
However, I cannot sign it.
Why? Why not sign it? Well... two reasons.
First, the pants? Skin tight. Some may say tighter. Infact, they all look like they're wearing seamless latex leggins. This doesn't really detract from the overall shape... it only attracts the eye and makes 'em even more shapely.
Second, some of them look better with pants. Zatanna looks even better in a matching set, a la Ally of At Arm's Length (she's the four-armed bunny magician). Black Canary even had darker leggings in the past, and I think she can get away with latex on hir hips and thighs!
There is one exception, though. Power Girl can't wear pants. I mean, look at her costume. It's basically a Supergirl spoof, and you can't even put leggings on it. It's just not done!
(I'm not sure about Lana on the Frank Miller Batman books, though. I have to dig them back out and check)
The point? Don't slap any old jeans on every superheroine. Make her squeeze into leggings if it makes her look better.
