[Granite-M]

So... the powers that be have decided that Wonder Woman needs a new costume and a new backstory.

Unveiling Wonder Woman's New Costume Direction

Here's the new costume:



...and here are some other costume's she's worn over the years, for historical perspective:

Spoiler Alert!

First Appearance:


Assorted:


Terry Dodson:


Armored Version from Kingdom Come:


Linda Carter, from the TV show:

Personally, I'm not crazy about the new look. The bracelets look too chunky and elaborate, the pants look too dark, and the jacket looks like she stole it from 90's-era Rogue.

[RabSheila]

Yeah, I’m not keen on it either.

I read somewhere she has spurs on her boots now. Spurs?! What is she? Annie Oakley?! The costume was designed by Jim Lee for J M Straczynski.

I wish these guys would leave the legends alone.

Lest we forget, let's take a look at some other drastic re-designs of iconic characters' signature looks:









Oh yeah... those all turned out real well.

NO COMMENT.



BLACK PANTHER?!?



NEVER CARED FOR REILLY.



THIS ONE IS ACTUALLY PRETTY AWESOME.

Personally, I'm not a fan of DC, but I think the new costume is better.

I don't mind it....less silly looking than her traditional costume, though I wish she was wearing boots.

I’m just waiting for the day they decide to change the Silver Surfer’s look. I can hear them now. “It’s 2015! We have to update Kirby’s masterpiece! He can’t be flying around the cosmos on a surfboard half naked! It's too offensive to all the silver people! Let’s slap a silver tux on him complete with top hat and tails and stick him in some kind of silver space Lexus! Lexus sounds like Nexus and Nexus was a great space comic! The Surfer could be a great space comic, too!”

Apparently Jim Lee is fond of coming up with new, "edgy" designs for costumes:

Kyle Rayner GL:



Huntress:



Superman:

Huntress isn't too bad, but seriously, what is up with Superman? Gloves? Shoulder logos? Is that a communicator watch on his wrist? Madness! Madness!!

If Superman did get cold, you couldn't even argue that the gloves were to keep him warm since he's wearing a short sleeve shirt. As far as the shoulder logos go, they're if you miss the huge honking S on his chest. "Who is this flying caped guy? I can't quite make out what letter that is on his chest. Oh yeah, he's got a little s on his shoulder. It must be Superman!"

Madness? THIS. IS. Well, madness.....

In major Indian myth, some heroes are AVATARS of gods. They can't come down here and help out by remaining gods. Look at Gandalf, not to mention J.C. Not to mention The Last Airbender.

Its just a story. Enjoy it for the ride. Then it will be over.
