When did the DC "big three" superheroines begin to become so prevalent in SHIB productions? When I first joined here, a few years ago, there didn't seem to be much Batgirl material available. Maybe there was more than I thought, but I ignored productions which used the name while using one of the costume variants that doesn't interest me. Hmm.
I didn't pay much attention at all to the number of Wonder Woman or Supergirl productions available at the time I joined. Before joining here, I had the impression that almost all internet SHIB productions featured brand new heroines created for the productions, many of them in rather bland leotard-based costumes. This makes me wonder if there was some change in the SHIB "industry", perhaps in the wake of the high-profile superhero XXX parodies.
At any rate, I would start trying to answer the question by addressing the history of SHIB productions, if I knew enough about that history.
I can say that the superheroines of a certain era seem, to me at least, somehow better suited for SHIB. I think these would be Silver and Bronze Age characters (1960s-1970s), mainly. The cultural tone was different then, and superheroines were more likely to be depicted in situations of distress and/or bondage. Since then, the culture has changed and newer characters carry a different tone. Fans of SHIB may be likely to have developed the interest based on bondage or trap scenes featuring mainstream characters, and these older characters were more likely to have been in such scenes. Also factoring into this might be the average age of SHIB fans, members here, or those who are likely to purchase SHIB videos or photo sets. I would assume that most of us were young and impressionable during those Silver and Bronze Age years.
Body packaging is important with superheroines, particularly when a work is not dealing with them as characters so much as emblems. The heroine in most SHIB features I've seen could likely swap out her uniform for something from another B&D-type fetish and the production would work almost as well. The costume in most SHIB productions is a quick, easy way to telegraph the fact that this is a superheroine we're seeing. Costuming is important. I would suggest that the DC Big Three have some of the most iconic superheroine costume designs, and probably the most recognizable. DC has had other characters, but Zatanna, say, has changed her costume a bazillion times and never appeared in many scenes of distress. Hawkgirl/woman has a strong costume, but the wings are awkward and (again), the character was rarely in SHIB scenarios. Marvel's heroines have had patchy histories, changing costumes regularly and/or being out of print for long periods, and few of them appeared in much SHIB. With almost all mainstream characters, the further you get from the Bronze Age the more the characters seem to be depicted as lacking vulnerability, being tough and mean and more likely to be beaten bloody by a foe than tied up or put in a trap. A lot of characters don't naturally fit into the SHIB formula. Depict any female X-Man in bondage and maybe it looks like you've taken a scene better suited for Wonder Woman and substituted a new heroine.
The further you get from the Bronze Age, too, the less likely a costume is to be powerfully iconic. The Jim Lee Effect took hold, and accepted standards of superheroic costume design changed a great deal. A Psylocke is less iconic than a Spider-Woman is less iconic than a Supergirl.
Finally, I wonder about the influence of film and TV on the matter. The DC Big Three have had high-profile appearances on the big and small screens, in their iconic costumes. ElectraWoman & Dynagirl only existed on TV. Marvel heroes and heroines in televisual media tend to be affected by a lot of design tinkering, as though the productions in which the characters appear are afraid to fully embrace the superhero genre. If Storm, Rogue, and Phoenix had appeared in the X-Men films in their most iconic uniforms, probably they'd carry more weight as SHIB featured characters, but instead they all wore nondescript leather outfits. I can't think of any characters besides the Big Three and EWDG who have appeared in true superheroine form on TV or in film, particularly featured in traps and bondage. Were there others?
I also note that Christina has been featuring some more obscure characters like Hellcat and Black Cat in recent productions. So perhaps there is some hope...?
I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm just speculating, here. It is an interesting question, really. One of these days, too, I am going to make a nice, short, concise post on this forum. I am determined to accomplish that!

And lord knows whenever we saw them on our Saturday morning cartoons, or comic book....we DREAMED of seeing them in some perilous, death defying situations. So why isn't anyone asking, or begging producers to create it? Is there no demand? Not enough interest? Are costumes too difficult to create? Or are people not that familiar with those particular heroines?
There was no way, I don't think, that anyone could be disappointed.
CC as Wonder Woman just gets no better in my book. Personal opinion of course. 
But with the quality of videos you shoot? I'd LOVE to see you tackle a traditional Wonder Woman. 
Which defeats my whole purpose of this discussion, but I thought I'd just toss that out there. 
Though Christina wearing a catsuit doesn't deter me away that much.
