Well, Superman and Batman's outfits came from old acrobatics outfits- the underwear on the outside was specifically to reduce the sexual element of the costumes. If Supes and Bats were to have feminized costumes, they would probably be wearing high-cut, revealing outfits. More like something out of that page that produces "specialty" underwear for men.
And the real problem here, is how many damn pictures does one have to produce to get people in the industry to recognize that the problem is endemic in comics? There's websites that have shown example after example after example after example after example, and people still handwave it away.
Who will fund a study that gives rigid statistical proof? And even assuming such a study, would the defenders of the entrenched misogyny and sexism in comics even acknowledge anything then? Past evidence says no, bit I'm interested in seeing what would be taken as proof.
