It's foolish, if generally safe, to speak for the dead.
In any event, the new costume looks good. Of course the original will be back eventually; that's a given.

I agree with most of what you said. As for the aforementioned parts, there is a doodle by a fellow poster in the other thread that deals very effectively with them, and it definitively works.
Here is the link.
(a bit "Saint Seiya - Knights of the Zodiac" now that I look at it again, but it goes well with the Greek motif!

While this is less objectifying and more practical, I don't think it's "de-sexualized." I think it's very sexy. Even with less skin, it shows off the shape of her bust and legs magnificently. And I love the satiny sheen of the top; it's very flattering and classy.

I can grudgingly live with the new costume and origin, if the changes are part of a larger strategy to produce a movie.
Watchmen may turn out to be the last superhero movie to showcase female crimefighters wearing skimpy, thigh-revealing costumes.

What was so wrong with the older, classical costume? Oh that's right, they need to appeal to the now-demographic, the raised-in-the-streets-by-single-parent girls who are always going to drift towards Twilight, but never comics. Keeping her a royal representative of a powerful woman-only nation is not tickling the imagination of little girls it seems. An iconic character needs to be dumbed down and made a powerless street fighter to appeal to the minimal female comic book readers, eh? 
Ooo, now that I like. The jacket is the main thing I'm kind of iffy on regarding the redesign, but that interpretation looks really cool.I agree with most of what you said.

Sorry call me old school or whatever I dont find this look for WW to be more sexy. I find it to be a sexy look for a new hero, but not for WW.
I didn't find WW old costume, with skirt or as the bathing suit to be objectifying or whatever, to me it was as iconic as Batman or Superman. She always pulled off the look. *shrug* It was feminine and powerful a strong statement that has endured for decades.
The less is more thing, Yeah I can see that, and often believe that for most heroines, however WW just pulled the look off somehow. I always saw a warrior not a sex object. Nothing wrong with showing her legs, I saw her look as more of a dance outfit, pants can get in the way of a good high kick, where her old look sure wouldn't.
Opinions vary I guess. However I suspect in time this new look won't last and her 'classic' look will return in a glorious new issue or annual hailing the return of the good old WW.

I'm surprised everyone's been focusing on the costume and not the damn stupid storyline it's self.
I dig it, I've always had a thing for Wonder Woman, I think this look is even "sexier" than her normal look.
And her new look, combined with JMS writing, I think I may get back into her book.

Yeah, I have to agree... It looks incredibly 1990s. The shoes, the jacket, even the gauntlets.
It's only missing the circular sunglasses.
Personally, I liked the old costume. I thought it worked, especially in Morrison's JLA.
But, I've stopped reading comics (for the most part) so I'm not the audience they are aiming for.
Besides, we all know, the iconic one will come back.

It's the only way it could work!!!!I have never read a superhero comic, so yes, maybe.
