As someone mentioned Hot Toys, I'd like a Hot Toys Gwenpool.

So ok, perhaps we could end up with an endless debate on "badass". Needless to say, to my eyes, the costume just conveys typical "cool wannabe" gal next door. But perhaps for you, it speaks a lot more. Thus, lets take a look at what is more objectively quantifiable here:

Wearing a leather jacket with tight fitting pants is a typical costume that any girl wears for an evening. This character is pretty much wearing the same thing. Now how is that distinctive or individualized in any sense of the word than what she wore before? How many typical girls do you know that go out on a cool evening night wearing a red spandex costume lol?

With respect, I feel you are looking at the costumes in very simplistic terms. The new Spider-woman has both a distinctive silhouette, patterning and details all of which differ markedly from Batgirl. Far more significant differences than just a different pattern of bodystocking the old costume was. I've certainly never seen a woman down the street wearing anything approaching the new outfit either.
