It doesn't take a doctorate in psychology to see what DC is doing. Aside from the mentality that women objectified will sell more to their target audience, the obsession with large breasts, and those breasts hanging out, and now the plentiful ammount of phallic representation, indicates that those at DC are trying to make themselves more "manlike," whether to compensate for what they feel are failures in their own private property, as it were, and/ or feeling impotent in power and influence. They must then make themselves bigger by hypermasculinizing their lead heroes, and demeaning a woman by showing her as the weaker sex, only "empowering" her by hypersexualizing them. They would feel threatened to ever have Batman in a suit that showcased his powerful, sexy chest, unlike Catwoman whose unzipped form also puts her in a more vulnerable position. Of course, it is a reflection of DiDio, Lee, and Johns and company as the juvenile, heterosexual junior high students they are, but definitely "men" who need to feel more powerful than they actually are. They are the kind of people that hinders others from wanting to read comics, perpetuates the stereotype of the unsexy geek in a basement, and make intelligent comic book readers cringe at those who love what they have to offer.
