New Wonder Woman Will Wear "Those Little Shorts"

No, the 2 shots of pants are from the show yes. I only meant the shorts are not I'm in favor of the (Stars down the side non-vinyl)Pants in the 1st of the 3 photos in this article which are the newer pair which I refer to as the 2nd pair because they are not the first ones they showed off.Jaime_Wolf said:
Edit: what I meant is the shorts if they do go that way may look a bit more dignified(or you know not.) than the random costume they have in the third photo.
That reads a lot like a play from Howard Stern's playbook.
I think less flash, more subtle would be good, but then the concept of Wonder Woman has always baffled me, whatever she wears.
I think I liked the long pants with the red boots better. Maybe she'll wear the shorts when she's fighting on the beach, or during summer, and keep the pants for colder occasions.
At least this guy's honest about his chances. He's not spouting, "It's going to be great. People are going to love this to death."

Wait, wait. Isn't Wonder Woman an Amazon? You know, the male hating warrior women from Greek myth who cut one of their *ahem* off so they could draw the bow easier? I doubt they shaved much, come to think of it.
Oh wait, it's a comic book series. Thank God for lack of realism!

And at the end of the day, as far as I last heard, the show is still going to be about an Ally McBeal type with super powers and will feature sugar-pop music parading as female anthems. So why the hell do we still care how the costume looks when it sounds like the show will probably be an instant fail anyway? It'll hardly be the fault of the costume department for putting some freaking pants on a glorified bathing suit if the whole thing busts in less than half a season.
Black latex pants (as opposed to blue) and a leather jacket borrowed from Black Canary is hardly what I'd call an improvement. They want to improve her outfit, start plundering some history books about Ancient Greece and the various styles of armours employed by the Greek city states and create an amalgamation of that. If they want the character to be taken seriously as a warrior, dress her like one.Souplex said:
I'm a fan of the character, and I never really minded the costume in the comics or DCAU for that matter, but for mainstream it needs tidying up a bit.
I watched the original series (my pay t.v company I was with used to air them) and in that series she had a variety of costumes. Maybe all that have been shown will feature in the series?
I wonder if they will have DC characters have like featured eps or cameos.

They did they gave her black jeans and a jacket... and then there was an outcry about how it wasn't a patriotic costume.... even though she's not meant to be American. She's an Amazon, from a Tropical Island... which has a matriarchal society.ryo02 said:
Nothing at all to do with America, but she has to be PATRIOTIC DAMMIT!
Essentially DC can't win, unless it's a new Hero they seem destined to always look like 1930's spank mag models.
When it comes to the wonder woman costume I'm in the group that thinks there is nothing wrong with her old costume and as an iconic costume it shouldn't be changed, especially not for black, leather 1990's throwbacks designed by Jim Lee.
I see no issue with redesigning an icon though.Vault Citizen said:
At the moment her costume makes little sense to the character and look at characters who haven't changed or been reinvented in nearly 50 years - i.e. Superman - He's boring as hell. He's passionless, has no personality and he is defined purely by his powers.
Compare that to Batman who is constantly retconned - Batman is made eternally relevant by being retconned, he has grown and changed to match the times.
Wonder Woman has never been a big seller for DC, hell I'd rather see a Huntress TV series, but alas average joe who doesn't read comics has no clue who she is. Jim Lee tried to evolve the character with his design, sure you could argue she looked like a 90's throw back, I saw it as a way to show off her personality beyond Diana Troy of the Amazon. But in the end, whilst she still looks like something you'd see on the side of a 1920's bomber, she'll never be taken seriously as a character either by artists or writers.
