So before I started scripting the new comic, I wrote a few notes on the visuals of the characters. I thought you were entitled to see them.

Batman 

Height: Tall, a few inches above Selina.

Body type: Muscular, broad-chested. A big guy. Ben Affleck got that much right.

Actor: Richard Armitage

Clothes: What do you think?

Coloring: Caucasian, tanned.

Hair: Short, dark.

Eye color: Blue

Brooding, but not without a wry, sardonic sense of humor, we’re not going full psycho here, nor Adam West or LEGO Batman. While in many ways a noble, loving individual, this Bruce is still prickly, rough around the edges, slow to talk about his feelings, and overly focused on the job. He’s compassionate enough to be sympathetic to the Sirens: he’s in a casual relationship with Selina, Harley exasperates him (but occasionally he’ll concede “that was pretty funny”), and while he’s sensitive to how Ivy is lashing out after being treated poorly, he’s generally in little mood to let any of them distract him from more important matters or enable (willing or unwilling) more harmful villains. So he’ll generally pull his punches and try to de-escalate the situation rather than immediately go in breaking bones.

Harley Quinn

Height: Short

Body type: Petite, athletic

Actress: Kristen Bell, Brittany Murphy

Clothes: Open side tanktop, Daisy Dukes--the sides of her thong  showing up over the low waistband, the fly undone, the pockets visible under the cuffs. Her bra is red and black with diamond suites in another reference to her costume. She’s not shy.

Coloring: Pale white.

Hair: Blonde. She wears her hair in pigtails, the left dyed red and the right dyed black.

Eye color: Blue

Cup size: B-cup

The most exuberant and girlish of the Sirens, Harley has an expressive face and an active, athletic way of moving. A gymnast, she tends to move by throwing herself around the room, running full-tilt to get where she’s going, and contorting into weird poses when she gets there (going to sit down by lunging at an easy chair, landing upside-down in the seat, and continuing as if this is perfectly normal). She’s openly attracted to Batman in a ‘dog trying to hump your leg’ sort of way, though she’s also open about wanting to kill him--it just depends on what impulse strikes her and how the conversation is going. She’s genuinely in love with Ivy, who begrudgingly returns the favor, and has the same ‘kiss you/kill you’ attraction to Catwoman that she does to Batman.

(these are just to show the clothes Harley’s wearing, not her physique)

Poison Ivy

Height: Medium

Body type: Voluptuous, hourglass figure

Actress: Christina Hendricks, Lucy Vixen (in her younger days)

Clothes: Ivy's costume is a vine that spirals up one leg, covers her pubis, winds around her belly and covers her breasts, forms a laurel in her hair and collars her neck. She’s basically a nudist, but wears plantlife to use as weapons, for comfort, or just to have someplace to put her stuff.

Cup size: Double Ds

Coloring: Light green

Hair: Red. Long, flowing locks with green leaves interspersed.

Eye color: Green

Imperious and domineering, Ivy considers herself a breed apart from humanity and holds herself as superior to Selina and Harley, who she sees almost as pets. Think of the haughty matriarchs from Rome or Spartacus. This is overcompensation for a submissive, sensual streak in her, including a deeply buried attraction to Batman. Wide-hipped and well-endowed, she’s a fertility goddess with the manner of a dominatrix, but secretly enjoys it when Batman turns the tables on her. She’s in love with Harley, which is very frustrating for her, and has a friends with benefits relationship with Selina, who she almost respects (to quote Nebula: “Out of all my sisters, you were the one I hated the least”). Green lipstick. 

Catwoman

Height: Tall

Body type: Athletic, slim, tall, the classic supermodel

Actress: Charlize Theron, 

Clothes: The Darwyn Cooke look, but with a generous amount of cleavage exposed.

Coloring: Well-tanned/Olive skin. She’s Caucasian, but maybe with some Slavic ancestry.

Hair: Short black hair, generally a bit shaggy from being under her cowl.

Eye color: Green

Cup size: C-cups.

Seductive and thrill-seeking, Selina is the ego to Harley’s id and Ivy’s superego. She’ll generally act in a coy, flirtatious way, though largely because it amuses her. When not ‘on,’ she can be as pouty and disdainful as Ivy, or actually romantic and sentimental with Bruce. Though, as a fiercely independent woman, she tends to lash out at anything that smells of attachment. She has an exasperated big sister fondness for Harley, who she actually humors more than Ivy does, and is one of the few people who calls out Ivy on her bullshit, which Ivy resents, appreciates, and is subtly turned on by. Red lipstick.
