    First the out of context spanking pic and now this. Are you trying to bait me? I dislike the new outfit. You may or may not. Agree to disagree type of thing. I'm not going to argue and I'm not going to get drawn into a discussion of the societal sexism reflected in many of the comics of the time period. That's getting too close to politics, in my opinion.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          I don't mind it. WW is an ambassador. She should have a wardrobe. Even when it comes to doing the Super. The jacket won't last, but it's about time she put some pants on.
          Hey! Check out the pictures.

            Garbage and yeah it won't stick. There's a reason the original outfits are so iconic and have lasted so long.

              Hopefully it won't last as long as Dick as Batman.

                  Exactly, you take way what makes Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman and she becomes the character in name only.

                  They could also have easily updated her costume and still stayed true to the character. If they wanted to "toughen her up" they could have played up the amazon warrior aspect. Like the Wonder Woman Trinity costume. But instead they put her in an outfit that looks like something the XMEN would have worn in the 90s.

                  It sucks that DC feels the need to crap on Wonder Woman yet again but I can't imagine this lasting more than a year or two. Like you said, if she can survive the 60s mod spy girl mess, she can survive this.

                    What I don't get about that article, is that in one sentence it states that Diana has been wearing the same costume since her debut. But then it mentions the mod white outfit, acknowledging that there have been previous attempts to update her look. Plus there are the variations of the star-spangled outfit - the skirt, the biker shorts, bikini bottom...eagle vs stylized "W" logo...changing multiple times between laced sandals and boots. She also shows up in more of a classic-looking Amazon robe, her formal wear for Ambassador duties, and that ensemble from the Mike Deodato years when Artemis took over the role. They also revamped the all-white outfit twice in recent years, during the Walt Simonson "Who is Wonder Woman?" storyline and while working as Agent Diana Prince.

                    Am I reading that right or does it say that this will be an alternate history? Will this be part of her regular continuity?

                      Yet one more example of Dan Didio being unable to come up with any new ideas that weren't already tried in the 1980s. Like was already said, this is just a retread of the Mike Deodata era. I expect there to be another Wonder Woman show up ala the Artemis period within the next six months.

                        My understanding is the re-imagined continuity replaces her regular one.

                          Also, just notice that the parts that were really changed the most were the American flag bits. I wonder if that's intended to perhaps make her more marketable in other countries?

                              Apparently something happens where the Olympian Gods feel the need to change the course of history....As a result, they no longer offer their protection to Paradise Island and the Amazons. The island is attacked and young Diana is given to someone else to raise. She will not remember her former history, memory will be foggy and her powers will not be all there at first. So she has to find out who she really is and discover why the Olympians did what they did....which may or may not result in history being fixed.

                              At least that's what I got out of it....The whole thing sounds like something that would have been better as an Elseworlds series.

                              Again, if THIS is the type of "Wonder Woman" JMS wants to write, then maybe he shouldn't be writing "WONDER WOMAN". If he really felt strongly about this storyline he should have mapped it out for Princess Power, the WW knock-off from his Squadron Supreme take over at Marvel.
