New look for Wonder Woman

[The Toyroom]

Was this thought Before or After the World Told Him It sucked ?.

Just FYI, here's a bit from Titan's Tower, regarding JMS talking to IGN about how this change isn't "permanent", and it won't really affect Donna or Cassie:

It will probably be written as if neither of them exist in this timeline and when Diana puts things right, their places in the DCU will be restored.

Really?!

Without feminism, we'd likely not be discussing WW at all. She's remained a character in the public eye (and really, the only iconic superheroine, regardless of her book sales) precisely because of feminist interest in & promotion of her in the '70s.

Because, y'know, Sue Storm was so engaging as originally written..

Regarding WW's Thomas revamp, wasn't the bodice eagle also changed for licensing/merchandising purposes? It's one of the few costume changes that didn't bother me much.

I look at the bodice change as the same as the new look batman versus the earlier 50's black bat symbol. a smaller change is fine but it still evokes the character for me. This change is more like the blue and red superman set

Whatever happened to the actual real world Wonder Woman foundation that Jeanette Kahn set up that year ('81)?

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

^ I seem to remember some story about Supes' birthday being on February 29th (Leap Day) as the explanation as to why he wasn't as old as he should be It was probably a 70s Bates story as opposed to earlier Silver Age Swan/Boring stuff. I'd have to research it...

Yes you're absolutely correct about the 29th being his birthday. I did attend his 50th birthday bash back in 88 in NYC and that was the date. Yes I think you're right about Bates. I also remember hearing John Bryne mentioning that in an interview.

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...

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....

[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.

[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?

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

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?

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

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