You know what?
FUCK EDNA MODE. FUCK WATCHMEN. CAPES ARE THE SHIT AND I'M TIRED OF PRETENDING THEY'RE NOT.
These two did so much damage to the public perception of capes, and it's a real shame because their criticisms come from a general misunderstanding of their historical use and practicality.
Capes were once used as defensive arms in duels, similar to how Batman uses his cape to stun enemies. During sword fights, capes were often used to wrap around your opponents weapon and immobilize them. They could also be waved in their face to disorient them and obscure their view of your blade. But in order to do that, they had to be easily removed. Capes were never attached so tightly that you could get you stuck in a door or pulled into an airplane engine. They were loosely fastened to remove easily in one of these duels. In all of those cases, the cape would have just been pulled off. You might lose your cape, but not your life.
I hate the perception these works gave to capes because, in reality, they were really versatile. Out of all the superheroes, Batman uses his cape the most realistically. No, you can't glide. But using it to disorient or disarm your enemies in combat was a real and common fighting style. And when you're not fighting, the cape protects you from the elements. It keeps you warm in the cold, it keeps the sun off you in the heat, it keeps the water off of you in the rain, it's the perfect accessory.
In conclusion, I don't care what that short ass bitch said, capes are cool, more fictional characters should have them, and actually we should bring them back into fashion.
