Subject: Serious question to comic book hero gurus:
Written By: saver on 04/19/08 at 1:26 am
Someone somewhere must have addressed this question but I missed that story...
WHY DID OUR MOST POPULAR COMIC BOOK HEROS..i.e.(SUPERMAN,SPIDERMAN,BATMAN/ROBIN,FLASH GORDON,CAPTAIN AMERICA),WEAR TIGHTS?????
Was there a fascination with those who would wear them,were they more comfortable to fight in,cheaper to own?
How many pair did they all own, you would think they snagged/ran when fighting....

my guess is they fit better under the clothes they had to wear when living their lives as their secret identities well Superman and Spiderman...
I think Batman and Robin just liked them ;)
also the material is more flexible so in a fight there's more ability to move because the tights were less constricting.

Back in the medival days, even Robin Hood and his Merrie Men wore tights, allegedly.

I'd hate to be behind them or under them as they swung by!
