New look for Wonder Woman

[Riffster]

I didn't mind the bra and running shorts look

Imagining Lynda Carter in running shorts and a bra, I certainly wouldn't complain too much.

I loved Rucka's take on Wonder Woman too. I wish DC had left him on the title. His take was one of Wonder Woman's best run's. The Lois story was ok too, alot of people really loved that story. I've always liked it ok but not my top favorites.

I think Rucka (along with Terry Moore) is the rare male writer who can write a unique voice for his female lead that doesn't feel in any way generic.

I'm a huge fan of his Queen and Country graphic, and prose novels. You won't find a stronger female protagonist than Tara Chace.

I liked Rucka's run as well. The idea of making the Olympian Gods more contemporary was certainly interesting, and gave characters like Ares and Athena a new approach after twenty years of Perez-retread.

I enjoyed this graphic novel a great deal.

Jiminez did the Lois and Wonder Woman issue.

Haven't read the Lois and WW issue, but also liked that GN.

The thing is, WW in my mind fully deserves her status as one of the 'Big Three'. I'm truly mystified why she can't sustain a book on her own, but her in contrast and interaction with Superman and Batman makes for great reading. I'd like to think it would just take the right writer - or the right film, a la Iron Man - to increase her profile and popularity enough to have her title sell.

I liked her guest appearance in Mark Andrenkyo's Manhunter - another female protagonist book worth reading - run.

Always wondered why the change.

Now I dislike the ridiculous feminist movement and it's ramifications on comics and culture of teh time even more.

OH YEAH!

[BlackKnight]

I dunno if thats even Lynda Carter's real Body.
Lynda Carter Had Much Bigger Boobies ..., Like a 34 C or Larger...., They were practically Bouncing all over the Place , when she was in the WW Suit...., Them Boobs look like 32 B's. The Camel Toe Placement Seems to Be Accurate However.

Looks like it has Spiderman webbing on it. Even without the XMEN jacket it is an ugly design.

Make sure you mention that when you attempt to cross at the 49th parallel.

I like it without the jacket. I might do something else with the boots too. I like her top though.

Hmmmm....

I was thinkin' on this, and when you design a character there's a lot of background to take into account and there's one real important aspect to Wonder Woman that'd affect the design; and it hasn't been mentioned anywhere. How OLD is she?

[The Toyroom]

^ It all depends on the origin interpretation....The most recent has her created as a clay statue of an infant by Hippolyta that the Gods brought to life. She grew to adulthood, albeit slower probably than "normal" humans. When she came to Man's World, Superman and Batman were already operating and were in their early 30s I think..I would place the most recent incarnation of Wonder Woman at around 30. Of course, when you factor in Donna Troy and Cassie Sandsmark it gets kinda tricky. Say DT is around 24 and CS is maybe 16-17?

When you try to nail down an actually age after years of continuity it's better to just look the other way ... That's why the Silver Age Superman was eternally 28 years old for years I think...

It becomes a Pandora's Box (to use a Greek analogy) and of course, you should never ask a woman her age

[The Toyroom]

But all of this is moot BTW because JMS' version of Wonder Woman is clocking in at the age of 19...which will actually make Donna Troy older than her and Cassie Sandsmark a contemporary if DC cares to address such a matter.

I always thought that Superman,Batman was Eternally 30? Wasn't his Golden age version Older? or came across older??..and I'm meaning the Shuster GA version,Boring Swan versions I also thought were older....
