Wonder Woman Revamp?
So I'm not sure how old this news is, but, I only just found out today while checking my mail.
So, opinions? Even better, I'm sure that a lot of you who go to other Comic sites know about this, care to shed some light on what's up?
Etc.

She wore knee high boots, a one piece American flag bathing suit and a tiara. Some characters just needed to have their ridiculous costumes updated, and once Colossus got an a new costume, Wonder Woman was at the top of the list.
That being said this new design isn't that great. I think she should lose the choker and the leather jacket, the red corset and black pants would look good on their own. Still it looked better in the issue that ugly Michael Turner-esq concept drawing.

Personally, I like the jacket, but I'm not feelin' the pants, choker, or the shoes. The pants don't even look like pants, it looks like she's wearing leather tubing, and as for the shoes... they don't even look like shoes. They look like slippers or medical scrubs or something. Those things can't be comfortable to wear.
The choker just plain looks dumb. I've always found chokers to be an idiotic accessory though.

I really hope this is temporary.
They're not just reconstructing her costume (which is freaking HISTORICAL), JMS is reconstructing Wonder Woman continuity and completely erasing the character's history as we know it. "Urbanizing" a mystical character like this is... uh... unsettling.

The whole changing her story and everything about her history is pretty stupid and i don't really see the point.

I think it looks pretty good. There has always been violent undertones to her character and this new look makes her look slightly more aggressive as a character. Ironic for the ambassador of peace.
I'm all for change when it comes to Wonder Woman. Nobody (besides Gail Simone) seems able to write her, despite the fact she has such a rich mythology. She should be a writer's dream and she deserves better. Maybe this will justify her place on the trinity.
Plus I highly doubt they will retcon the Greek myth angles. There is unlimited story potential there. Greco-Romanic mythology is the origin of the Superhero.

Are you kidding me? What are they going to chage Superman costume now? God, her old costume was far superior. The background story isn't bad though...

Her old costume had such a history to it though.
It wasn't supposed to make her "blend in" with the real world. That costume was specifically designed by the Amazons to make the wearer a symbol for her people. I just have huge hang-ups with changing her story so dramatically. He's basically saying that there aren't any new stories to tell with her current background and because of this he's going to get RID of it. dumb

What the hell was wrong with her old costume? Draw it correctly and there wouldn't be an issue.

I like the costume even though it doesnt scream Wonder Woman. Its just a temporary thing like all other revamped new costumes. I think the new costume wouldve been better on Wonder Girl.

I largely imagine this has something to do with DC wanting to put down ground work for a potential Wonder Woman movie. Wonder Woman's standard costume is a hard pretty hard sell because... well its pretty absurd and ridiculous. This way they can update the costume for a movie adaption with a precedent in place and say "Well... it is the current Wonder Woman costume," to the tens of protesting fanboys.
Even Linda Carter looked kinda stupid in the Wonder Woman outfit, and she could pull that off that American Flag onepiece better that any woman ever in the history of mankind.

The backstory seems a tad Supermanish: a special child is forced to leave his/her decimated homeland to be raised by humans in human society.
The costume...well, if a live-action movie is the impetus, no wonder they want change. Wonder Woman is coming up against what male superheroes have had to deal with: in live-action, spandex on men and skimpies on women make it difficult to take the superpowered being seriously (though a good script helps). Even movie Wolverine knew better than to wear yellow spandex.

I love how people react to this.
Apparently, not only will she never wear her old costume again, ever, but also menacing guys from the DC offices are coming round all your houses to erase any evidence of Wonder Woman's history.
Oh and Diana's getting a sex change.
