Discussion Main / AdaptationalModesty

Which direction does this trope go in? If a comic book is adapted into a film with Adaptational Modesty in play, should it be listed under the comic, the film, or both?

Right now it appears to be essentially random.

Pulled this:

• Poison Ivy, who used to sport little more than a bikini made of foliage, now wears a full body stocking.

• Poison Ivy in the comics is entirely nude with leaves or other types of plants covering her private parts, while any cartoon adaptation will usually have her wearing a one-piece leotard^note That's right; not even the 1990s Batman cartoon, for all its notorious instances of Getting Crap Past the Radar, made Poison Ivy's costume like the original.

Poison Ivy's original costume◊

Poison Ivy in the early 90s (the current version when B:TAS started)

Poison Ivy in 2010.

Yes, she sometimes wears less than this, but this was her standard comics costume up til the New 52, and it covers just as much as the animated versions ... and the versions with leggings cover more!
