Welcome to The Escapist... again. For a first episode this was really, good. I do like the level of detail you go into as well.
Buuut... I do like her original, weird costume. It really makes her look like a jester or harlequin which fits her role at the time, as things go on and her costume changes, such as in the Arkham games, it's never really gelled with me quite as well. I think they are really good costumes and often fit her character really, really well. But I guess I'm just an old stick in the mud for that original outfit.
