Well? Should he? Did I mention that these would be _green_ fishnets? ---

Nope. He doesn’t want to crowd Black Canary’s style. ---

Why should he? He’s just _poured_ into those green tights. ---

Should the Black Canary wear a little yellow billy-goat beard? ---

Wouldn’t that be more appropriate for Aquaman? couldn’t BELIEVE that joke hadn’t been taken yet ---

> [@Biffy the Elephant Shrew](#): > > Should the Black Canary wear a little yellow billy-goat beard? I hear she does. Just not on her chin. _Yeah for hair!_ 😃 Should Tim Drake start wearing the original Robin trunks? Apparently, Tim’s continuing career as Robin is in question (or has ended - at least temporarily), and Batman is thinking of having the current Batgirl (the mute girl with breasts _much_ too large for her supposed age) take Tim’s place. If that does happen, and DC decides that she should wear the original Robin trunks… :rolleyes: Not that I mind good-looking women in revealing outfits, but I have a hard time believing some of these superheros and heroines can do their jobs in the outfits they wear. For exactly what reason would DC decide that the current Batgirl - as Robin - should wear the original Robin trunks? Anyhoo… ---

I agree that no superhero of either gender should wear fishnets in the field. Have you ever fallen down in fishnets? It hurts. A LOT. They imbed themselves in your knees so you not only have the joy of having your knees waffle-printed, but you also have to pull them back out of your flesh. This especially hurts if you don’t do it right away and the blood dries over the fishnets. But Oliver Queen’s a hot one. He can keep his fine-ass tights as far as I’m concerned. He’s a big hunk of man-slut but I’m not looking for a longterm relationship here. 🙂 ---
