It's kinda strange how the movie BP was missing the beard.

At this point it's rarer for BP to have a cape in the comics. Ditching the cape helps separate him from Batman visually and personally I prefer him without a cape as it helps make him more catlike.

A character known for agility and acrobatics shouldn't really have a cape anyway. It's why the bodysuit look for characters like Nightwing and Daredevil is so fitting.

True I agree with whoever said they dropped the cape to make him look less like batman. Because with a cape he looks too much like a Batman knockoff character I think he Looks so much better without a meaningless Cape.

So NOT cat monarchs...

I'm just imagining an agile acrobatic hero leaping and flipping through the skyline, only to break their neck when their cape gets stuck on a flagpole or fire escape.

Ha, I know what you mean about those stupid high heels, that's a stupid design or decision because first off how the hell would they be able to run and they would more likely break their own necks then be able to do shit. I could never understand their reasoning behind adding that maybe they were thinking sex sells or some shit.

This conversation is hilarious! For female figures it's definitely the idea that sex sells. Look no further than Psylocke with her thong-kini. While the costume does not get in the way of her fighting (as there is very little costume) it provides practically zero protection, unless someone were to boob punch her. (this also applies to Elektra). Then you've got the characters with trench coats that were added to look "mysterious"...Gambit I'm looking at you. Really though with the capes, why do so many heroes have capes anyways. I understand if they are doing it for a regal/royal reasoning - Thor and Black Knight it makes sense, and I guess that's why it matches for Black Panther as well. It's not functional in a fight but it adds an air of royalty.

Though I do like the idea of T'Challa wearing a cape when not doing his acrobatic-hero thing, and then takes it off like a boxing/wrestling robe before a match. Adds a certain amount of regal class to him.

I'm surprised Namor with his ego never wore a cape.

I have had at least 6 of the Vulture 2 Pack sitting on the shelf of my closest Wal-Mart for going on 3 weeks now. They are not selling at all. Still no sign of the Panther at all. HEll it took 3 days before someone bought the Cyclops and Colussus figures from the case of X-men that came it.
