The re-imagined comic book heroine Wonder Woman is shown in this undated publicity photo released to Reuters June 30, 2010. The DC Comics Comic book super heroine has traded in her spangled hot pants for urban leggings and upped her street smarts in a 21st century make-over for the 69 year-old character.

As a fan, I don't like the new design of Wonder Woman's costume.
According to the New York Post:
The new look, which was unveiled yesterday in the pages of Wonder Woman No. 600, has a jacket covering her previously bare shoulders and black tights covering up her previously bare legs.
"It’s a Wonder Woman look designed for the 21st century," said the series’ new writer, J. Michael Straczynski.
"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?’"
The new look — a radical departure from a costume that had mostly undergone only slight tweaks over the past 69 years — was designed by superstar artist Jim Lee, following an "exhaustive" amount of rejected possibilities.
It figures. It was a man who designed the costume and I bet someone who had no idea what Wonder Woman is all about! First of all, Diana (Wonder Woman's alter ego) is an Amazonian...has anyone seen an Amazonian in leggings? Puhleeezzz. Her costume is based on her history and lineage which obviously the animators at DC did not consider at all, at the expense of being "21st century". Excuse me, leggings are 21st century? Has any of these guys seen Lady Gaga? or at least Madonna?
