(1/4) > >>

Hi Gang,
Seems WW is getting a new look for the anniversary.
See here for the article from the NYTimes -

Oh and they are redoing her origin yet again.   ::)

Uhm...eh?

With the leggings and the leather jacket, isn't she missing exterior shoulderpads and a rifle?  I mean, seriously, welcome to 1992.

Then there's the badly-planned ornamentation.  Angled belt.  Curvy bracer-thingies.  WW neckline.  A choker (why, exactly?).  And the now-awkward tiara angled opposite the belt.  Oh, and the shape of those clogs or whatever the heck she's wearing.  It kinda makes me seasick, all taken as a unit.

Also:  Alternate history?  After overhauling history in its entirety for the umpty-sixth time?  So I guess the character'll be just as useful as Hawkman, by the time her 70th anniversary rolls around.  That's nice.

I won't even bother commenting on the obvious aversion to any remotely-patriotic-looking theme and releasing that just before a patriotic holiday.  Oh, wait.  I guess I just did...

I'm not saying that Wonder Woman shouldn't change.  DC hasn't known what to do with her since...err...lessee, murderer, wanderer, victim, isolationist, quasi-feminist, kung-fu, retro...OK, "a while."  So a revision is definitely in order to make her distinctive and interesting.  But...I'm pretty sure this is neither, sadly.

Roygbiv666:
It is very 90s isn't it?

I'd go with something like this, only less generic with the proper WW insignia, etc.

Write good stories and you would not need to change the costume. Hope the new look fails miserably

Drusilla lives!:

No, welcome to 1978...
