She's on her way from the battlefield to the negotiating table, and to change out of her fighting outfit (basically her costume with a shield, gloves and a battle-skirt), she spins around, there's a flash of light, and TA-DA! She's wearing a nice, clean toga. <br /><br />"Nice trick," Steve Trevor says, and she replies, " A boon from Aphrodite." So basically like Lynda Carter changing on the TV show, only she can change into various outfits, rather than just from Diana Prince to Wonder Woman and back.

And since she's a magical character, she could get some kind of mystic device that would allow her to instantly switch costumes in the middle of an action scene, like she was a Power Rangers. It's very toyetic, but it's a natural development from the character's background.Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15661002375460378958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-49207120499977322722015-07-03T21:54:59.636-07:002015-07-03T21:54:59.636-07:00By "realistic" I assume the powers that ...By "realistic" I assume the powers that be at DC mean "What can we get an actress to agree to wear in the eventual live action movie" since movie casting and marketing seems to be playing a bigger role than ever at DC these days...but yeah, that costume is hideous.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14980887819492556076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-85758673866868612602015-07-03T18:16:10.965-07:002015-07-03T18:16:10.965-07:00This costume is not for me.

The new 52 in general seems to not understand that there are diminishing returns when you add accessories to costumes, but Diana's new outfit takes the cake. It is like Hephaestus just found whatever extra costume bits he had lying around and stuck them on the outfit. I am a bit surprised she doesn't have a 'head cowl', a cape, and leg pouches as well!<br /><br />While I understand Meredith Finch's point that Diana probably shouldn't be fighting crime in a bathing suit in 2015, a less complex costume that covered more then the old one, maybe a variant on the original pants wearing Jim Lee redesign, probably would have been the way to go.

Arthur's use of such material always stemmed from the same roots as Diana, so it would work, and I think that the appearance (the under-armoring working off of her chest/shoulder-plates and bracers) would fit nicely. You'd even have a built-in "battle-damage" tracker, as you could tear off costuming above it and reveal chain underneath (as Walt SImonson used to do with Thor; in fact I'm probably mentally just trying to make Wonder Woman into Simonson's Thor!) or even show that a foe is "real serious business" by having him'her actually break some links of Smith's chain...Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058171030261812885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-46145236076441400082015-07-03T08:11:53.657-07:002015-07-03T08:11:53.657-07:00What is it with loincloths lately.

The best of course, is Darwyn Cook's. <br /><br />She is just...randomly wearing anything she can find. None of it is cohesive, none of it is attractive, and I don't see how it is very practical either. Granted, I'm not a huge fan of women fighting crime in bathing suits, but she's Wonder Woman! The outfit she wore in Kingdom Come would also work beautifully, but this is a mish-mash of old elements, and is just a mess.SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.com
