Wonder Woman's New Threads


I'm a little late to this conversation, but I just want to say that I really like Wonder Woman's new outfit. People have been complaining about her new threads and arguing about whether a demi-god needs a jacket.

You can check out DC's blog to see the original reveal and commentary from fans. http://bit.ly/b4VLEV

Ever since the reveal, geeks have made harsh comments on the DC blog. One wrote, "I'm just going to pour a double vodka and go to bed and check into Arkham in the morning. This is the worst thing I've ever seen!" Another fan wrote, "This has to be a joke. I am literally sick to my stomach right now." Others simply wrote, "I hate it," and "Epic fail."

Sure, the cropped jacked circa 1990 is a little weird, but I like to think that she can take it off. Jacket aside, I really like the modern twist on her crown and wrist bands. And all I can say is it's about freaking time the woman has some pants. The poor girl has been wearing an overly patriotic swimsuit for the past 60 years.

I think everyone has been overreacting. Maybe the costume isn't the best it can be, but it's lightyears ahead of her old costume.

  1. I don't much care for the Jim Lee-ization of a costume, but hey, I figured she must get cold a lot when she visits the Fortress of Solitude.

    Regardless, I dig your commentary.
