Wonder Woman has a bold new look, one of the most dramatic changes of her 70-year history.
Criticized for years for fighting crime in effectively a one-piece swimsuit — often considered either sexist or simply impractical — the DC Comics icon has a new costume as of this week's Wonder Woman #600, and it's one considerably less revealing, complete with long pants and a jacket. Signature elements such as the character's bracelets, tiara and magic lasso remain. The costume was designed by acclaimed penciler and DC Comics co-publisher Jim Lee.
DC Comics announced the change Tuesday evening.
"It’s a look designed to be taken seriously as a warrior, in partial answer to the many female fans over the years who’ve asked, 'how does she fight in that thing without all her parts falling out?'" said incoming series writer J. Michael Straczynski.

I like the old Wonder Woman better, but at least they didn’t give the new one a Boob Belt.

Designed by Jim Lee... no wonder I was reminded of the 90s.

It’s too bad she fell into the bottom of a bottle and then became a screaming-mad liberal. Time has not been kind to Miss Carter.

They have gone way too far with the makeover. And I'm not fond of the four chins either.

The New WW is probably a lesbian too.
Death of another comic book.

It was either Family Guy or The Simpson where Wonder Woman is in Invisible Plane and flying along side in a fantasy is either Homer or the other guy and strikes up a conversation. Except she’s not in the cockpit. She’s in the bathroom.

I shudder to think what Hollywood is going to do to Captain America. I heard somewhere Tommy Lee Jones is in a major role.
