To hold the wings on. He's cosplaying as Hawkman.

What and males arn't objectified in commics? (Muscles and all), There isn't a male super hero out there I measure up to, And I don't complain or take offence!
That's the point though isn't it. Fantasy..., It's called escapeism.

Superman has guns pointed at him too and Batman always gets kicked in the face!

And... Of course cartoons and hand drawn images can wear tose clothes without effort, but that's because they are "NOT REAL" - No one expects real people to wear this stuff while fighting crime.

Sorry , but these kinds of critiques on comic book characters really burns me.
Guys have skimpy costumes too - but they don't point that out...
Hawkman - doesn't wear a shirt, you can see his nipples
Hulk - almost Naked
Beast - Naked
Iceman - Naked
Weapon X - Almost Naked
Mojo - Naked (but gross)

It's not just the women - I hate when it becomes a sexist issue - It's a fantasy situation where people are above average and these are the fantasy bodies...

P.S. One on one with anyone, Batman would win.

And Aquaman and Hawkman/Hawkgirl were awesomely useless.
