My immediate reaction is, here's a guy just got eaten by a bear and he's trying to get out. The Razorback costume strikes me in a similar way.

I can't really judge that Catwoman costume design because the artwork is so bad it's a distraction. I think it's probably a bad design but the stylistic shortcomings of the art itself seem to block everything else from my mind.

I'd lose the garter straps but yeah, another artist might be able to make it look good (I'm thinking Arthur Adams.)
I think it's funny that the only thing the costume couldn't strap down was her chest.

Black Canary. Yuck. Yes, that was a horrible costume, burt to be fair, none of her costumes--including the Golden Age version--ever represented her character or powers. |

That's because you can't strap that chest down!  |

A "canary" is an old 1940s slang term for a female nightclub singer who fronts a dance band. Her original costume with the fishnets, bolero jacket and basque is supposed to be based on the clothes that a nightclub singer would wear. So it does make sense in terms of her name.  |

Everything fits except for those big, clunky boots. Why artists insisted on using them with so many different characters, from Conan to Captain America, I'll never understand.
