There’s a new costume for Wonder Woman in DC Comics, and it involves slacks and a jacket with the sleeves rolled up. No, this is not the 1992 version, but rather the 2010 version.
And it could have been the Earlier in the 2000s version as well. See, Joss Whedon’s usual costume designer recently tweeted some pictures of her initial take on a possible Wonder Woman movie outfit, for back when Whedon was possibly going to bring the Amazon Princess to the big screen. See, Shawna Trpcic (get this woman a vowel, stat!), had put the character in pants as well.
It looked just as bad there. But I do have to admit I like the version where the pants are slung low around her hips and what appears to be Wonder Woman’s shiny golden thong is sticking out.
I don’t know how you do a Wonder Woman in a modern movie. Maybe if you started in WWII, as Marvel is doing with Captain America: The First Avenger, you could get away with a gaudier, sillier costume. In the meantime, people will continue hurling themselves against the Wonder Woman wall, convinced that this character can ever be anything more than a mover of lunch boxes or bed sheets.

I also pleasured myself to Wonder Woman as a kid, the Cathy Lee Crosby incarnation. I would imagine myself the Ricardo Montalban character, stealing government secrets and having my way with the lovely Diana…
Let's face it, Wonder Woman is for the Sex & the City audience, gays and chicks with no souls.
I'm sure Joe Soap only watches quality productions.
Devin said, "…convinced that this character can ever be anything more than a mover of lunch boxes or bed sheets." Spoken like someone who's never read George Perez or Greg Rucka's respective runs on the series. Given some tweaks and updates, the first story arc of Perez and Wein's '80s relaunch would make a great movie, and Rucka's Medusa story would be an awesome sequel.
that old WM TV show…man, that chick turned me on so much. She still does, actually. A hell of a milf, broda.
Spider-man and Superman's outfits are silly too, let's face it, but they still worked with very minor changes in the films because they're iconic. I think most audiences would easily accept Wonder Woman's traditional costume in a film. Updated and "realistic" can only go so far until all the fun is drained out.
Looking back at Xena's costume with the long leather skirt, I think that worked and was dignified. They've turned the character into Xena, so why not the costume?
Here's your formula for a successful Wonder Woman flick: Big tits, tiny costume, and she gets banged through most of the run time. Seriously, outside of porn I couldn't give a shit about Wonder Woman.
"I think that worked and was dignified"
And I think it's AWESOME that you typed that witha straight face.
Stop trying to be a comic book geek Faraci — it just isn't working.
I always thought Wonder Woman could have deflected bullets easier if her golden bracelets were designed more like Captain America shields. It's a long and proud history of fantasy artists that decided that men have the more practical armour.

Abandon the costume. She never had a reason to be red, white and blue anyway, did she? Yay the captchas that don't work are back!
Not that I really care about Wonder Woman, but what is the big deal with giving the woman some pants? It looks fine. Jesus.
Wonder…Man?
Moving bedsheets. Uh huh huh huh huh.
Sexism is tacky.
They need to get a move-on with this shit though. She's the only member of the super DC trinity that hasn't had a movie. Bleh.
