COMICS: Wonder Woman's Iconic Suit Returns!

Wow. Arguing FOR the new costume in favor of the old? Thats new for this site.

is it just me or does she look a bit like erica durance from smallville in that pic haha

YES!

Movielad @ Your TASTE....

Sucks!!! :)

I'd say only her old costume will work in comics. And not necessarily the new one will work on the screen, but something practical either way. Unless y'all want Uwe Boll to direct WW, rest assured no production company or execs will allow her original costume to be put on the big screen. Unless, however, they are truly deprived of logic... just like Uwe Boll. Heh heh haa...

YAY!!!!!!

@Earz....hell yes, I was with you on that, this costume she is using now is only a minor one and not the official suit from that point on.

@loganoneil: I'm sorry, but I wouldn't take that outfit serious in the real world. It's hard enough taking Superman's suit seriously. I can see the pic above illustrated in one scene maybe by her native soil, but not practical in the streets of a city. I'm sure there's a way for designers to merge WW's old with a modern suit. A mixture respective of the source.

I don't get how Wonder Woman looks different in every comic and every animated movie. She is a big DC character and they can't decide what she looks like. It boggles the mind.

This is the best news I've heard in a long time! The classic Wonder Woman costume is something that Wonder Woman owns, that new style looked a whole lot like Rogue and less like Wonder Woman. When you think of all the girls in the media (and everywhere else) who look up to this character it is important you keep iconic characters iconic. I realize people want to change things but Wonder Woman is a warrior and classic warriors are not worried about covering up skin. Back in the day wrestlers fought naked. I think her old costume is completely practicle and nessesary for the health of the character.

jim lee came up with the costume i believe.he always puts some kinda short jacket on characters. dont even see why they changed it in the first place

@ TheGODDAMNSUPERGUY toMAYto/toMAHto ...basically splitting hairs on word definitions there. Point still stands Batman's costume change was nowhere as near as drastic as the WW change.

@loganoneil: Well, when ya put it that way, you pose a very valid point. Marketing would be an issue for her outsider her usual attire. Hmm, what a dilemma that would be. Perhaps they could use that leather outfit in half the movie and toward the end, she can sort of develop a need for a more modern look. Hm, maybe. Or they could just keep it, lol. What if they made that same exact suit in a more futuristic style? Think that'd work???

@SkarrJones: --"You must be non-straight. Not that there's anything wrong with that."-- That was a ridiculous statement. I am a man who is quite gay and I ONLY love her iconic look because it's just that-- classic. The new costume looks even more dated and completely uninspired. Straight men may love her sexiness, but gay men love her fierceness. And the most flamboyant love her fabulousness. Although I'm not flamboyant, not that there's anything wrong with that (wink, wink).

The real crime is how WW is handled with such nonchalance by male execs (David E. Kelley, you cliched hack) who disregard her iconic stature and look. They have no qualms about making her weaker and de-powered because, well after all, she's 'only a female superhero not a "real" superhero'. They would never do that to Superman. Smallville gets away with it because he's NOT Superman yet. And it's plain to see that Nolan's Batman, for anyone who knows classic comics, looks much more like the very FIRST Batman created by Bob Kane in the 30s (i.e. almost all black with a black emblem, never appears in daytime, etc..) The update was the armor which makes sense.

I have loved the original Wonder Woman since I was a child. I loved the Lynda Carter TV show. Perhaps the addition of practical (since that word seems so important to anyone who complains) straps to the corset would work. The very original WW did actually wear a skirt so a gladiator kilt seems sensible for an Amazonian warrior. It amazes me that practicality never gets mentioned in regard to Superman wearing his underwear over tights...or Spider-man having no mouth-hole on his mask.
