I've enjoyed Worlds' Finest, for the most part, but that New 52 version of her costume has to go. I did like how the comic had a running gag for several issues of Power Girl getting her costume torn up in different fights making it closer remember her classic look. Sadly, it appears someone at DC Editorial finally caught on.
I think it started as a goof on heroes with everything exposed and then everyone wrote around it. The best PG comics are where she is oblivious to her looks and the impact they have on any situation. Those are fun comics.
While I think the boob window is perfectly in character, I contest that DC could have come up with a better insignia for her in the reboot. Like this fan piece for example:
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Some characters only have ONE version of their costume. Don't fix what isn't broken.
i never understood her costume... but i guess super heroes need to show off their biggest assets.

Now this is perverse.
