A compromise between the pants and the thong: booty shorts. And make sure the new Wonder Woman has curves. We don’t need anymore Hollywood stick figures.

I preferred the pants. Then again, I also thought DC should give WW a proper shirt for a top instead of something that screams “wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.”

This is better without the pants, but still not good enough.
If they would to change the costume they should be more implement a clasic looks to the new costume,.
The new costume make her less wonder woman. even I dont recognize her as WW she just diferent woman with bracelets and lasso.

Alls I know is someone’s head will roll because of this dipsh#@ idea of reinventing the DCU to DCNu. If it was Dan’s, then that would explain why he’s writing OMAc, which is gonna be one of the many books to fail.

I don’t understand why they just don’t make this like a Marvel Ultimate Universe and just set this world on a different Earth’s universe, then when more than half of the comics fail, they can bring back the original comics and maybe double their comic output.

DAN DIDIO, YOUR AN IDIOT INTO THINK YOU CAN MAKE MONEY BY NOT ONLY CHANGING THE SUITS BUT ALSO CHANGING EVERYTHING IN THE DC UNIVERSE AT ONCE, IT’S STUPID AND IT’S A TERRIBLE IDEA! WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THIS IS A SLAP IN THE FACE FOR MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY FANS AROUND THE WORLD!
WHAT THE HELL WAS HE THINKING?!
THIS IS GOING TO RUIN THE DC UNIVERSE LIKE THIS!
HE’S ONLY MAKING THE FANS UPSET!
I DON’T CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY! THE FACT IS, THIS IS A TOTAL SLAP IN THE FACE AND THIS IS TOTALLY UNFAIR. THE DC UNIVERSE WAS DOING FINE AND WAS SUCCESSFUL FOR THE LAT 70+ YEARS AND NOT ONLY THIS HAPPENS BUT ERASE QUITE A FEW HISTORIES OF IT, IT’S MADNESS!

DIDIO, YOUR WRONG TO THINGS SHIT! IF JERRY SIEGEL AND JOE SHUSTER WHO INVENTED SUPERMAN AND THE DC UNIVERSE WAS ALIVE AND WITNESSING THIS, THEY’D BE PISSED. I KNOW I WOULD BECAUSE LIKE I SAID,THIS IS A SLAP IN THE FACE FOR MANY FANS.

THIS IS TERRIBLE! WONDER WOMAN DOES NOT WEAR PANTS ON HER OUTFIT, IT DOESN’T LOOK RIGHT! GIVE US BACK THE ORIGINAL OUTFIT, IT LOOKS BETTER!

I wish her look for the comic was this:

Love the stars on the pants. Sigh.

Er- “panty” was supposed to be “pantie”…

Also, another reason silver looks better to me is because whenever we see warriors 9 times out of 10 they have silver metal blades to their swords. It’s a nice tweak that hints at the warrior vibe.

DC COMICS, please read this:

Keep the pants, and keep the gold elements of her costume silver like you initially planned. WW needs the update. Eventually she’ll get picked up for a show (I think someone is going to come along and give it a shot)

It’s just a better design, and makes more sense for the look that the soon-to-be-current creative team are doing with her.

To go backwards is just cowardly.

I actually really like the look of the pants. The panties look just feels too exposed, tactically. The original cover for WW1 feels so much more “right” then the updated panty version.

And the silver elements of her costume was, to me, a brilliant design element as I’ve always found gold to look tacky; silver feels better and helps to streamline her look to not feel so silly.

Regarding the armband and choker: really? I’ve shown a few girl friends of mine, one of whom is a stylist, and they all felt she was wearing to much clutter/junk jewelery. The stylist said that it was clearly designed by a man.

Women do not wear chokers. THEY RESEMBLE DOG LEASHES TOO MUCH. If the point is to establish new readers, with hopefully a few being female, then go for a less sexist costume. At least give it a shot and then change it up a few months down the line. But go for it.

Pants costume, with no dog leash/choker.

Thank Hera! Now that is Wonder Woman. Not the imposter they were trying to force down the fans throats. Few characters on this planet are as easily recognizable and respected as the iconic image of Wonder Woman. If this is indeed the correct cover, I have a reason to renew. For the first time in over a year, I’m excited about my favorite character again.

Seriously? People are upset and disappointed that DC gave the fans who have followed Wonder Woman for years her recognizable and distinguishable look over the pants? If they were true Wonder woman fans this wouldn’t be an issue. They would be happy that the Diana that the have invested in for decades is at least visually there. Her shorts are Wonder Woman just as the S is for Superman and the pointed ears are for Batman. Acting indignant and above it all is ridiculous. DC was mandated to change Wonder Woman’s costume to match the failed NBC pilot, now that it isn’t a go, they can bring back the Wonder Woman who was taken out of continuity for the last year due to the Odyssey stoyline, a fan of Wonder Woman would know this. And saying, Oh I was going to get it, but now I’m not, is bullsh#* because they were never gonna buy it with or without pants. WW is looking better and I cannot wait to get it now.

Anyone who thought Wonder Woman’s costume change was actually permanent clearly didn’t read the actual comic book. The return of the original costume – the original character – was telegraphed from the very beginning of the so-called reimagining.

This is hilarious! DC fans must running away in droves or hanging around and trying to like the DCNu.

DC fans living in denial.

Nothing else is funnier.

They get shit on again and again. But keep coming back, again and again.

Its like being fan of garbage and human feces. Keeping eating it dudes!

Okay, this is ridiculous. There’s something more important than beinf modern and realistic in a FICTIONAL book and that’s being true to the character. She’s from a damn amazon island, she would care more about comfort in battle than wearing some stupid pants. For crying out loud people, quit getting suckered in by gimmicks. This whole debate is indicative of the whole problem with comics today. They have such little creativity they have to focuse on pants.

LAME DC!
Why not stick to the pants? They are more contemporary…weak move DC, weak move…

The fact is this is seems like a knee-jerk idea that was not fully fleshed out when announced. The creative teams on the current books didn’t know this was happening, writers have multiple books,including unproven writers being given big name titles. The statement by DC was that they wanted teams who could produce monthly books and this was mandatory yet the second issues have some new artists already not to mention Jim Lee whom cannot produce monthly and caused the comic implosion years ago when he helped master-mind Deathmate with Valiant. They haven’t decided on “cannon” events yet they say l major ones happened…that is a lot of events for a 5 years old team. Even the original solicts had alternate creators…now the art is still being finalized and the new Image…sorry, DC is trying to play it off like it was the plan all along. It almost seems to me they want to fail. RIP DC…welcome Warner Bros Comics.

Alright everyone take a moment and let’s think about the character and her origins/culture! She comes from a culture that is advanced in philosophy,science,art, etc,etc.If you take the time to understand the philosophy of Greek and early Roman culture you will learn they saw the beauty of the external/physical body as reflective of the inner mind and spirit.In other words fit/beautiful body reflected a fit harmonious mind and spirit.They also viewed the pursuit of perfecting ones body as noble, not vain as some might view it today.Diana’s culture has moved beyond seeing the body as purely sexual.Remember the Amazons celebrate mind,body, and spirit.Their ideologies are far ahead of Man’s world.Now throw in that she’s invulnerable to pretty much everything (temperature,physical trauma,etc)and you see that she has no need for armor or clothes for that matter.Please remember she’s here on a mission of peace as well as an ambassador for Amazonian culture.She’s here to enlighten us; to inspire and move us to our highest potential! So when you look at her costume/uniform and say she should be covered,more modest,etc,etc,;I ask you:are you looking at her thru your cultural/personal bias or thru her enlightened culture? You don’t have to agree with Amazonian(Greek and Roman) culture but try to understand it’s Ideals and logic.Greg Rucka touched on some of this during his run and Perez brought her culture to the forefront.When those that talk about her needing a more practical ( modest) costume your talking about her as though she were a regular hero.That’s the problem,she not! She’s a gift from the gods, an ambassador,an immortal etc,etc! the old costume is indicative of a certain mind set,philosophy, and practicality.The new costume does not allow for maximum mobility.A warrior ( which she is) would require that. Jackets,pants, and choke collar, what purpose can they serve? last but not least,she has no issues with her body.Her sexuality and sensuality are a part of who she is but she (and all Amazons) do not let that define them.She will force you to meet her at her level and she(nor any other Amazon) would allow themselves to be subjugated by a less than enlightened view. If you feel the old uniform was too sexy;I would ask you to examine your ideas about sexuality,women, a beautiful physical body and how the society you live in has possibly influenced that point of view for better or worse.If we’re not careful we bring Diana down to our level instead of trying to rise to hers.Please take a moment to read about these cultures,real and mythologically. I think anyone would agree we can always grow beyond our current views if we are willing to step outside the box and see things from a more enlightened vantage point. This is the purpose of Wonder Woman!

Man. I was psyched for new Wonder Woman with Cliff Chiang. Now… I’m growing bored. Just put her in f**king pants already and let the nerds deal with it. The bathing suit thing is and always has been stupid. I’ve never ever bought Wonder Woman as a comic and now it’s off the list again.

Comics publishers need to grow some balls

who cares about whether its practical. This doesn’t happen in the real world. New Harley would pop out everwhere in real life, starfire same, does it really matter, this is not the real world!

God please don’t take away her pants!
I hate the thong, undies

If they put her in a mini-skirt
I am good with that but back to the undies/thong
Oh God NO! NO! NO!

Red boots. Not blue. Not black. Red. The whole “silver” thing is still horrible, but at least fix the freakin’ boots if you’re going to give her the shorts she deserves.

People seem not to understand that Wonder Woman was created as an erotic fantasy. One wishes there could be new comics with the – well, maybe “innocent” isn’t the right word; unselfconscious, say – titillation of the golden age stories.

She is wearing the pants in JL. See CBR.

So all this pants , no pants business and whining is just stupid.

I preferred the original #1 cover WITH pants! If they’ve decided to revert to Wonder Woman’s “original” costume, then where are the red boots and why has the tacky and entirely superfluous arm-band and choker remained?

I really wish they would just update Wonder Woman’s costume with a FINAL design and stick with it. Why is Wonder Woman still in pants (albeit with her breasts almost completely exposed) in the new SDCC “Justice League” preview image, yet in panties for her own cover? Out of all the recent re-designs, I probably favour the TV series costume with the dark blue (non spandex) pants and red boots. It’s a shame that the TV series costume wasn’t adopted for the comic books as well.
