COMICS: Wonder Woman Losing Her Pants In The DC Relaunch After All?

so does that mean Supermans going to get his underwear back too. Not like I care if he does or not. Wonder Woman looked odd with the pants. and WB need to get together and make Wonder Woman movie.

@DukeAcureds: Agree 100%!

I prefer pants on her too, it is more contemporary. The star-sprankled pants are dated and it just looks stupid.
The new costume is a good redesign and DC should stick to it, with pants!

I'm sick of artists trying to make WW look 'cool' and 'contemporary' It's NEVER worked and it's MISSING THE POINT. She's an ancient Greek Amazonian Goddess! They need to go BACKWARDS not FORWARDS! Give her some ancient badass mystical Amazonian Armor instead of trying (and failing) to justify her modern spandex getup which is entirely impractical for someone looking for heavy combat. STOP TRYING TO MAKER HER LOOK MODERN!!! SHE'S ANCIENT!!!

Give her a skirt, or keep the pants.

@Gusto - Are you sure you didn't just forget to put them on today? :D

shorts!!!!!!!!

This is how WW should look :)

Did anyone else notice Sinestro on the cover rather than Hal?

SHORTS!!! Pants are not as durable as her skin. They will get shredded anyhow. Unless it is some unbreakable armor fabric, it doesn't make more sense. Toning down her sexiness is just taking away part of the reason everyone loves her. Why not an overcoat? Let's put Mary Marvel in a full length dress and Power Girl in a burka. Readers just can't handle sexy heroes. Right?

Next they will take away BOOBS!! Mark my words. Oops! Looks like they already covered Cleaveland on WW. And so it begins. SAVE THE BOOBS!!

Oh, for the love of...

Pants. Clearly. Every other bloody member of the Justice League has managed to avoid looking like a stripper in this incarnation. Unless you're a fifteen-year-old boy who simply can't be any different, suck it up and let the woman look like something any crook would take halfway seriously.

Wonder Woman has had the most ridiculous, fetishized outfit of the first tier superheroes forever and a day. And it doesn't even suit her character. She's anything but a flirt, and comics are constantly knocking us over the head with how little she strives to attract men. So when this "strong, independent" feminist heroine makes Catwoman look sedately clad, it's a problem.

As for those actually debating what's more "practical" about superhero costumes...*raspberry*. Superman's cape gets ripped all the time. He should ditch it. Better yet, why get the costume dirty? It's his precious Kryptonian blanket...display that shit in the Fortress of Solitude instead. Supes should totally fly around saving the world in the buff...much more practical: he'd even soak up more sunrays that way. Also, Bats should ditch those stupid ears. In a fight, your helmet shouldn't have anything to catch a weapon on.

Look, these costumes are supposed to be symbols. Wonder Woman's just doesn't work for her. Gah...every time I think the genre is dragging its head out of its ass, something like this comes along...

Oopsss....this feels like deja vu with DC, where the editorial people seems NOT to be in sync with the creative guys...

seriously DC, what da heck's goin on up there??? the failure of GL the movie is a sign that u guys NEED to shape up and clean up your act. pronto!

The pants killed the Wonder Woman show more than anything. SHORTS!!

Of course I think the bikini is hott what guy wouldn't, but the pants look like they'd be more for stealth and battle... I think maybe if they change the color of the pants to blue with white stars down the sides and the boots to red it would look even better, or incorporate the blue in there somehow... I'm not a fan of the silver. Since WW was created she's had gold in her costume such as her tiara, belt, lasso etc. Diana comes from royalty why demote her with silver.

ps. I would suggest making GL's uniform more like an energy constructed armored suit. Aquaman's suit should be more reminiscent of some one who spends time in the water... kinda like the smallville version of Aquaman. Make it sleeveless or short sleeve with no gloves but maybe emerald gauntlets. Superman def. shouldn't wear kryptonian armor. Perhaps maybe a solar suit so that he can absorb the sun's rays better.

Jesus Christ, make up your damn minds!

From a fashion standpoint, the pants honestly looked better. The shorts look ridiculous with that top. I haven't minded the pants at all nor the jacket from before as long it looks good and this doesn't. I like LanternStorm's idea of a bluer pants with the stars along the side with the red boots, that would be a more logical step up from the bikini shorts. Going from blue to black just seems strange and a lame attempt at being "cool". I'm not a fan of gold but she needs to go back to it. The silver clashes with the golden lasso in a very noticeably bad way.

I personally think that WW should have some form of shorts/underwear covered in a Greko-Roman skirt. Mostly because I think that, like capes, for a character rooted in older sensibilities something flowing on them seems to root them in older ideals.

Superman, the ulitmate boy scout
Batman, the avenging knight
Wonder Woman, the warrior princess Amazon
Captain Jack Harkness, time traveling 51st century cad

Now this is usually accomplished with a cape, but that doesn't fit her all that well unless she is armored...which I am fine with, but it is not typical of the now iconic look. It can be done with a long coat to create an older feeling character trying to fit in to modern ideals, but that look was widely panned as too militaristic or masculine. You can do really really long hair, which was done to the character in the past and worked to varying degrees, but got hard to illustrate convincingly every issue. Last is a skirt/kilt on a character and that has come with really mixed responses from fans. While a skirt+short-shorts is my favorite look for the character as it nods to her origin, it is insanely hard to make a skirt look good with pants.

My thoughts anyways. ^___^

Gotta love em shorts!
@JackBauer That WW is SERIOUSLY defying the [frick]ing laws of gravity!! LOL
