Bold Fashion Choices--Catwoman's Late 1960s Disasters!!

Catwoman has always had quite a variety of costumes...

No problem there. A woman's gonna have a 70+ year career, she can't wear the same thing every single day!

But that chart is sadly incomplete, as they kind of skip over a couple of her 1960s outfits.

For example:

What the what now?

Green?? Green?!? And what is that material--is it chain mail?

And the not-very-concealing mask...

Geez, Selina, no wonder Batman turned down your proposal this issue.

Don't worry, in a couple of years, Selina was back...but not necessarily better than ever:

Now, that Neal Adams cover does a fair job of diminishing that costume's flaws...

But there is a thin line between sexy empowering costume and I-wanna-be-a-server-at Playboy-Mansion chessecake, and this costume smashes through that line.

And then there's the eyes...

What the hell is up with the mask that makes you look like you're constantly cross-eyed?

Of for those of you who can't stop quoting Edna Mode's "No capes!" as gospel...

What do you thing she'd say about unnecessary decorative tails?

Of course, when you get a bevy of ladies wearing the outfit...

...Batman is not going to complain!!

OK, maybe he will complain...

And don't forget--9 Catwomen means 9 sets of those eyes!!

Catwoman in the 60s--TV show aside, a fashion disaster!

From Batman #197 (1967) and #210 (1969)
