IMO Frank Millers superhero work is astonishingly overated and just plain dumb most of the time.

In regards to the whole issue, I have always viewed glorification of the human form as a stylization of the genre used as a way to express power and nobility. I guess this is why I don't think of classic superhero costumes like Green Lanterns or Supermans as "body condoms", and why I don't really feel there is anything bad about Wonder Womans costume in and of itself. However, they way some artists handle this stylization and the costumes is where we start having problems. They either overdo it, or they pick totally the wrong moment, time, story, or context for fanservice.
