Recently the Black Cat made her return to the pages of Amazing Spider-Man and despite eagerly awaiting that story arc, I was ultimately disappointed with how the writer portrays the Cat as an overly-sexualized character. It certainly wasn't the Black Cat I remembered I first got introduced to the character (back when Peter Parker was a married man) and in a way that's the same way i feel about Bayonetta right now.
As with both characters, the costume has already done the job on selling the sexiness of the characters so there's always the danger of over-doing it when it comes to what they say. Unfortunately Bayonetta's english is highly-charged with sexual provocative meanings. I can understand if it's done in a tasteful manner but with Bayonetta, it's a bit of an overkill as she seems to tease and talk that way with everyone in the game, save perhaps for the little girl looking for her mummy. It ruins an otherwise potentially great character so it remains to see if Bayonetta has anything else on her mind at end of her mission aside from making babies.
