Precies een week geleden kon je hier op Eigenwereld.nl de top negen van de slechtst geklede Supervillains bekijken, en vandaag heeft de website Topless Robot deze lijst met de negen BEST geklede schurken online gezet. Mijn favoriete en tweede fetish na een Slave Leia outfit is natuurlijk:

3) Catwoman, Batman Returns

It may be hard to imagine, but most of Catwoman's costumes consisted of skirts, capes, bright colors, and mod fashions. Many evoked neither cats nor burglars. Luckily her costume in Batman Returns drew most of its inspiration from Batman: Year One, where her iconic mask was replicated to protect her secret identity and show she's obsessively fond of cats. Vacuum-sealing Michelle Pfeiffer in shiny vinyl made sure she always looked sleek and sexy, and while the corset and high heels aren't practical, they emphasize the fetishism inherent in every incarnation of the character. Pfeiffer played the role with such gusto that the costume never appears degrading. Unlike Spider-Man's supposedly homemade suit, Catwoman's outfit doesn't look improbably perfect yet it doesn't look rubbish either. Its white stitching mirrors how the pieces of Selina Kyle's psyche were put back together wrong after her rebirth because of shoddy feline necromancy. The essence of Catwoman has been distilled into an instantly recognizable outfit with just enough dominatrix mixed in to show you she'd sooner give you the lash than purr for your amusement.
