I like the pants…these designs look a little cumbersome for super hero work. And they all have an ‘apron’ thing going on with them…

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Id heard about this incident but didnt know what the hell it was all about…so its true then? I used to post on that particular forum until the bullying got too much and decided to leave. If id known what was going on Id never have taken part there. That forum is getting worse and worse.

please please please please please boycott the Wonder Woman forum over at Comic Book Resources…its main moderator known as AEGISBEARER has been arrested on two charges of indecent exposure with two pupils that he teaches.
So far CBR have refused to fire or even suspend this disgusting individual…please join the Facebook campaign to remove this ‘person’ asap.
Thank you for your time.

Prefer the pants, honestly.

These look pretty great.

These are hideous.

Im sorry, those are all horrid. Im not saying Jim Lee is the greatest costume designer (enough with the jackets over spandex, man) but the pants look great and the cover to WW#1 looked great until they put her back in her panties.

As ever, Colleen Doran proves she has a better understanding of costume design than most.

Doran: “BTW, I’ve been asked if these were for the “Odyssey” storyline. I don’t think so. From JMS’s description, it appears they were for a completely separate tale, as in a high fantasy concept he was working on.

“JMS didn’t get into a lot of detail about plot, just described a fantasy mood he was looking for. He’d say ‘Yes. No. Get rid of that,’ and we’d move on. I don’t know much else about what he had in mind”

Doran says in the comments at the link that these designs were not for the “Odyssey” storyline but a different “fantasy-oriented” project that JMS was working on.

Any & all of them [including what's presently being courted] are OK w/me. Anything that brings Diana closer to Promethea than not.

Really.

Let’s just get it on.

My least favorite is the one on the left but the other two would have worked fine.

@Kooster: Don’t know if you’ve been avoiding stories or not, but Lee did have help from Cully Hamner, as well as input from writers and artists on the books themselves, in the design process. Not sure how much involvement Ross’s help had in the KC designs, but Lee is hardly working alone.

What are you talking about? Wonder Woman is not an alien, she’s a made-for comics mythology figure (specifically, she’s kind of a golem) which they have said they are going to focus on this time around, and have already focused on for much of her history, so I’m not sure where you’re going with this.

You know DC can tout that Superman is an alien and Super Girls. They are playing up the alien part. Well Wonderwoman is an alien too. Why not go back to that with her DC?

Love the one on the right, though it’d be terrible for Diana in battle, it looks great for her normal day-to-day life.

I like the one on the right best; is she wearing a backpack? The one on the left is standing like a dancer. Very nice. Can imagine her doing pirouettes to change costume
Why does she have straight hair though?

These are nice but they dont fit the story at all. Im not a huge fan of the pants and jacket look, but it was always intended to be temporary and it fit the story.

They are pretty darn sharp. I kind of like the current costume, but Doran’s give Diana a regal look with a simple design.

By: Kooster

I like the middle design, but then I have problems with the long tail on the belt where it just begs to be grabbed all the time.

Back to the DCnU costume designs. I realize that Jim Lee was in charge in doing, but could Lee not have pulled a Kingdom Come like Alex Ross and gotten friends to help with some of the DCnU costume designs? I guess by having Jim Lee do and coordinate the costume designs, it probably helped to keep the DCnU more under wraps until the official announcement.

I love the one on the right.

The one on the left looks a little “Isis” to me but I like the one on the right a lot. My guess is, it’s not enough of a superhero costume – Not because it’s not tights and capes but it’s not distinctive enough to be copyrighted and slapped on an action figure.

in a sense, we were cheated. how disappointing but the middle image i like the most

I like the middle design the most, except for the tie over her private-area.

By: Rod Lee

Is Wonder Woman wearing a tie around her waist in the middle drawing? The three “Wonder Womans” here are blah in my opinion.

Jim was always hit-or-miss for me. His Cyclops and Rogue designs were awesome, Jean not so much.

Looks worlds better than the Jim Lee designs. Jim is a great comicboook illustrator- don’t get me wrong his pencil work is lovely, but no costume designer.

I like these better than what she is wearing now.
