Should comic characters have alternate costumes?

Why is women wearing the same costume all the time less realistic than men doing it?

@v_scarlotte_rose: How would it not? lol

Batman and Iron-Man use alternate suits. And many female heroes are starting to wear full body costumes.

yes in the case of like the batbot or supermans lead anti kryptonite suit

ok, that's not a valid response lol. You just singled out women's clothing choices in comics.

I think that alternate costumes would be cool, but it would be hard to explain. I mean, comics don't need to be realistic, but realistically if you change your costume often than people might forget who you are--or worse, mistake you for a bad guy (AhHH!)

Yes. Superheroes and superheroines should alternate costumes to fit the needs of the mission and environment. It's always cool when you see a superhero get suited up in a variant of their regular costume.

This

Yes, there should be alternate costumes for alternate environment.

@gotwillpower: I just didn't want to get into "I'm sexist" argument, so I thought that comment would be funnier.

Anyways, it wouldn't have to be a drastic change, like WW wearing pants sometimes(I like her OG costume) and Nightwing changed his costume 2x now. Just a costume change for their mission or environment, or something dramatic or tragic happened to the character so they make more changes to their costume. I wouldn't mind if Batman when for a darker tone in his costume.

well, think of it this way.....a superperson's costume is essentially their normal clothing right? So do you wear the same thing every day? no. there is variety. just sayin.

@cosmicallyaware1: exactly

depends, iron man changing is outfit is practical for different environments. The ff cant really change their super clothes alot due to their powers getting in the way.

theres also the sense of continuity with the same costume all the time. if a character changes every comic it can be bit ridiculous

Yep

How is this even a question?

sometimes innovation is good

@ccraft: I can see how that would be cool. I definitely want more Bat-suits (I think there's some coming in the next Batman issue), and Amazing Spider-man has already experimented with different costumes (Tron, FF, Bullet-proof-one-I-can't-remember-the-name-of). Too bad Superman, or Daredevil, or Flash don't do the same regularly.

Not too often. They should have their normal costumes, then maybe once every story arc or two they can throw in an alternate costume.

Superheroes will grab a new costume once in awhile. But the original costume should stay the main one.
