Wonder Woman’s Makeover
She’s 69 years old and has officially gone under the knife…the artistic knife, that is. DC Comics unveiled the iconic superhero’s new look today in “Wonder Woman” Issue 600, courtesy of DC Comics co-publisher and artist Jim Lee.
Gone is the costume we’ve known for decades. The “new” Wonder Woman now fights evil-doers with a more modern look, if you will. Donning blue pants with matching boots, a blue biker jacket and a snazzy red top, this raven-haired heroine has been completely revamped…and I’m pretty sure I don’t know why.
As a friend pointed out, would you change Batman’s or Superman’s costume? Of course not, right? So, why update the look of a beloved, female, comic book heroine that has come to mean so much to so many? Sure, Wonder Woman’s outfit was a bit, shall we say, overtly sexy. But, I don’t know any female that held that against her. That’s what we loved about her. She was beautiful, sexy and could kick your ass without having a wardrobe malfunction. The overhauled Wonder Woman looks more like she belongs in a video game. It’s a cool look, but once again, why fix something if it’s not broken?
Oh, well. That’s my two cents on the matter. Besides, maybe the updated Wonder Woman will have a Facebook page or start sending out Tweets.
