Lolololol I'm so punny.
Anywho. When Ian Savage faked his death, so did his alter ego Switchblade. So in order to continue his vigilantism on the streets of Gotham he had to come up with a new persona. And a new wardrobe.
Okay so this isn't Edge's actual work outfit. The straps on his arms and chest would be way too easy to grab, there's absolutely no reason for his midsection to be exposed, and while he probably could work in knee-highs if he were so inclined, ankle-highs are a lot more likely. He's also usually wearing a leather jacket over all this. The heels, though, are very real (and yes, he can absolutely fight in them)
