Wonder Woman Wears the Pants

So, Jim Lee redesigned Wonder Woman’s outfit (Here is a rundown of pretty much every outfit she has worn).  It’s been the talk around town for costume changes.  I have seen it pop up in non-comic changes.  And most, it seems less than favorable.  But when I weigh the pros and cons of the change… well..

Pros
 A less star spangled appearance.  I get that Wonder Woman was created at a time of war, and that her outfit was meant to convey a patriotic flavor.  But the fact is, she is an Amazon steeped in greek mythologies.

It’s a more functional outfit, overall.

It’s not a swimsuit, making Wonder Woman’s physical assets a bit less of a focus.

For someone who engages in modern combat?  Bare legs seems odd (although, many ancient cultures did fight bare legged) and impractical.

Cons:
Loss of iconic image.

That jacket.

Really…those are all I can think of.  I guess for me the jury is still out on how I feel about the change.  It is better than red and blue Superman…that’s for sure.
