One More Thought on Green Arrow/Black Canary #22
I edited the original post to include this but wanted everyone who doesn't go back to read replies to see this too.



Could somebody explain to me why in the name of Robin Hood's beard Dinah Lance is running around, jumping across rooftops with her costume unzipped?





That's not a low-cut costume. THAT is an unzipped costume!! You can see the zipper RIGHT THERE!!!

Can anybody explain this? Anyone?

That WOULD explain why she's not wearing her jacket.

That's the truly vexing part! If it was being drawn as a low-cut variant of her costume, fine. But there's a visible zipper leading up to the neck, showing that yes, she is running around with her normal, Gail Simone era Birds of Prey costume design unzipped!

Dinah's boobs demand the chance to fight For Great Justice as well...

Large Breasts are a +2 to hit in certain d20 variants...

Maybe she's waiting until she figures out what kind of logo to put there...that seems to be what passes for logic regarding Power Girl.

Except there's nothing around the neck to create a proper boob hole to be filled.

...

That sounded MUCH dirtier than I intended it too.

Sure, if she were going to fill the boob hole. I'm not saying it's a reason, just an excuse. ;-)

My own fault for asking for explanations and not reason, I suppose. :P

I forgot the uniform was handwash only and line dry, accidentally put it in the dryer. So rather than change I was just 'ahhh helll.. lets give the girls some air?'

This is one of the many reasons why Mia does the laundry.

Zipper lock is broken. Every 4 panels she is shown zipping it up and being pissed off that it has slipped down again.

*blinks*

Seriously?

Godsdammit it, I didn't want an actual explanation that makes sense, much less on that indicates subtlety in the artwork!

Wait! Then how do you explain all the other panels in the other issues where her costume is unzipped if it JUST happened in this fight?

That's a great background, though.
