Ok, considering that I STILL want to be Wonder Woman when I grow up (I have the costume--I'm ready), I feel I need to voice my opinion about the costume/origin changes that have been thrust upon us by the powers at DC. Um, what in the star-emblazoned underpants HELL were they thinking? She looks like an extra in a Paula Abdul video, circa 1992. Wonder Woman is an icon, no less so than Superman or Batman, whose costumes remain unchanged, and integral to her iconography are the star-spangled granny panties!!Some of the "reasoning" behind the change: Who could fight crime in such a skimpy costume? Where does she keep her keys?
Are you fucking kidding me? You can suspend your disbelief enough to buy that a man can fly and melt shit with his laser vision, but you can't fathom a woman fighting crime in a bustier? To all the politically-correct, uber-feminists who think that being a strong, capable female requires pants: there must be a drum circle or poetry slam or "Women Who Run With The Wolves" book signing somewhere.
