Putting the cup on the other...

This is something has started to bother me more over time.
I read comics mostly for the story, so unless the art is really bad, I don't notice that much, but more and more, I find myself pulled out of the story by art that shows that the only source the artist uses is porn.
Of course, this only applies to female characters, male characters never look like that. But what if they did?

For example, female characters in comics are, occassionally, drawn in clothing so skintight that their nipples, bellybutton and camel-toe are clearly visible, albeit technically covered by molecule-thick latex. This is distracting. How distracting?

Imagine if Superman's costume looked like this.

Or perhaps not even that much? What if, in every scene, whatever he was doing, Batman's costume looked like this around the groin?

What if Flash' costume were reduced to an improbably-bulging cup, with no visible straps or other ways for it to be attached securely to the body, in such a way that the bulge would be that bulgy? Oh, and a little circle over each nipple. And thigh-boots. Sexy? Maybe. Really, really distracting from the plot?

Oh yeah, and at every opportunity/excuse Flash arches his body so the bulging cup sticks out even more, clenching his arse-cheeks and pouting. And whenever he fights he high-kicks in a way that, logically, his balls should be dangling out of the bottom of that thing by now, and visible for all to see.

I've been saying this for years. I'm glad someone else agrees
