Renowned artist, Jim Lee, has designed a new costume for Wonder Woman. It’s suppose to update her costume from the 1940’s but it looks like she got her style from the 80’s with her leather jacket. Wonder Woman #600 was released yesterday and marked her appearance with the new suit. Writer J. Michael Straczynski explains in DC’s blog:
“Diana has been raised in an urban setting, but with a foot in both worlds. She has little or no memory of the other timeline. She knows only what she’s been told by those who raised her On the run, hunted, she must try to survive, help the other refugee Amazons escape the army that is still after them, discover who destroyed Paradise Island and why…and if the timeline can be corrected or not. She also does not yet have access to her full powers, but will be gaining them as she goes.”

To me, her costume looks too similar to Black Canary’s and it doesn’t look modern enough. While I like DC’s approach of trying to freshen up Wonder Woman’s image, I’ve never seen her as a biker chick. To me, she has always been a naive superhero, not some badass.
