Wonder Woman gets..pants?
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010 | Geek, Sci-fi | 1 Comment
Wonder Woman’s costume has always been a wearable tribute to the American flag. Through out the years the colors have stayed the same. Red top with the American bald eagle in gold, blue bottoms with white stars, red boots and her tiara. The top and bottoms have always been skimpy. More or less the same thing since 1941.
Wonder Woman, as seen above, is getting a new look- and it’s about time! While most super heroes from her era have already had their costumes altered through the years to keep up with the times. Wonder Woman always stuck out, clinging to her retro look..not anymore.
Her story is even getting a bit of a face lift along with her appearance and wardrobe.
“In the reimagining of her story, Wonder Woman, instead of growing up on Paradise Island with her mother, Queen Hippolyta, and her Amazon sisters, is smuggled out as a baby when unknown forces destroy her home and slaughter its inhabitants.”
This change to her story and to her costume, hopefully will help in the campaign to get Wonder Woman on the big screen.
The Amazon thing about Wonder Woman always bugged me. But I can see what the creator was thinking. Guys like hot babes, guys like the idea of an island of all hot babes and guys like comics…. $$$$$$$
