I always like seeing these graphics for different characters. They aren’t comprehensive. But for Bat characters they are pretty cool since characters like Catwoman and Batgirl in particular have had wildly different looks every era until modern times and often gain their popular costumes from outside of the comics.

Huh, I had no idea the recent PF was the Young Justice show costume. Or at least mostly so, except for some black patches. That graphic is fantastic.

Yep. I'd be all in for this. It would be one of my grail pieces (but I am also realistic enough to know it will probably never happen).

(For some reason, I think that the gray on the costume slowly overtook the costumer during Batgirl's run in Batman Family in the late 70's.)

Okay, now you’ve got me curious. I need to get out both Omnibus volumes and find the issue number where the costume changed to blue/gray. The original and the blue/gray are my preferred costumes.

Actually, I just checked my Batgirl Omnibus Vol 1 and it is was Detective Comic #371 - "Batgirl's Costume Cut-Up's" where very slight gray hi-lights were added to her costume and then it slowly grew from there.

Ahhh. I read that issue recently and just now looked at it again and it does have different shading throughout the issue. I wasn’t sure if that was the issue or not.

I won't refuse any variant of this statue.

I really think it was just Sideshow making up their own costume but yeah, I did notice it is pretty close to the Young Justice costume more than any other costume. It very well could’ve been what Sideshow was going for. The last Catwoman was clearly a realistic take on the Animated Series.

Myself as well. I’d like a variant to be light gray, blue and yellow.

I’d buy that.

It’s funny how here we say and a lot of us agree about variants we’d like to see and sideshow goes and does completely other than. Batgirl, Flash into Zoom, yellow Wolverine into X-Force, etc, but then they choose Batman when they’re already trying to sell a blue Batman, and Elektra who isn’t a bad choice but nobody was asking for that. Lol. Outside of Psylocke they’ve ignored some pretty great and obvious choices for variants.
