Wonder Woman gets trendy makeover

I am by no means a true fan of comics / graphic novels so maybe my opinion doesn't count, but.....meh.  She looks like every other sorta goth-y superhero and the new look is pretty boring.  I liked the old outfit she wore.  In my mind Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman is exactly how I will always imagine her.

The thing is, I like her old outfit because it's totally retro, but it would be annoying to fight people in. Hopefully this brings her more up to date and we get some less...camp...wonder woman stuff. But I doubt it as "wonder woman" is the campest superhero name ever! :)

A vote for retro all the way from me.  :)

Good point the old look is so old it's become retro and very hip!

A weird coincidence--we got a Wonder Woman t-shirt in a bag of donations yesterday!

Yuck.
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

Seriously?  I could mail it to you....it's on a black background and the design is sort of faded but on purpose.  Size 10.

edited to add:  Ooops, it's a size 8--tiny.

I'm so disappointed.  Even people who have never seen a Wonder Woman comic/movie/TV show could describe the outfit.  The new outfit is pants.  BOOOOOO!

I think she looks a bit like Lara Croft.  :-\\\\ It's ok, and I guess it will maybe draw a younger audience. But I loved the old Wonder Woman look... I had the Underoos when I was a kid (a vest and underpants that looked like her suit) and I think it came with the cuff bracelets (unless my parents got those for me separately). I used to run around the house in it.  ;D
