Makes me wonder

DC Comics unveiled a new costume for Wonder Woman today, which really makes sense since Wonder Woman's costume makes her look like a star spangled stripper. With all due respect to Jim Lee, one of the greatest comic book artists of the past 25 years and the guy who came up with her new look, the new costume kind of sucks. Instead of a star spangled stripper she looks like a star spangled street walker. Long black leggings, bustier, blue leather jacket, and a choker. She looks like Wonder Jersey Girl. All that's missing is that weirdo hair bump and the fake tan.

Have a look at it here.

Anyways, I thought I'd take a crack at her costume too, just for fun. And because I'm a dork.

She's supposed to be an Amazon, so why not make her a bit more ancient Greek? That means no more stars, more leather armor less bathing suit, and sandals not high heels. Plus her costume is supposed to suggest the country she's an envoy to, hence the American flag elements, but why does she have so much gold in her costume if that's the case? I understand that 70 years ago red, blue and yellow were the printing colors available, hence Superman's costume too, but there's no yellow on the American flag. And it's kind of gaudy to wear that much gold. So I got rid of it in favor of silver, which is classier, right? Throw in a little bit of Art Deco to reference her 1940's origins and I think it still looks like her but less stripper or street walker. A little Xena Warrior Princes like? Maybe.

Jim Lee if you're reading this, you're welcome to borrow it.
