^ Don't knock it til you've tried it.
I've no problem with realism, but rather the degree that is needed for each character. Its not onesize fits all. As a creature of myth and fantasy Wonder Woman (and those elements associated with her) does not have to be as real as Batman, who is more grounded in reality. And Batman doesn't have to be as real as an episode of Law and Order. Giving WW or Batman the reality of Law and Order just doesnt work.
If people dont get the conceits of a medium, then they're gonna have problems with a medium and should probaby avoid it. Think skintight bodysuits, masks,capes and physics defying bustiers are silly or impractical? Then you might wanna consider avoiding superhero comics. ( just a suggestion)
I agree with everything you've said in your posts 100%.
I think some folks take comics to seriously when that take someones opinion about them as a personal insult. I mean seriously, realism in a person born from clay and flies by the force of will? Yeah, I see that happening everyday.....................after smoking an ounce of crack.
As a NYer and a lawyer let me tell you: Batman is much more believable.
In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. And then there is the goddamn Batman.
Top notch!! Let's say I hadn't read this thread and all the press releases and just saw a poster of the new duds. If I saw the DC version, I wouldn't know who the hell I was looking at. If I saw your version, I'd still know it was Wonder Woman. Case closed.I improved it a bit since that last doodle with the help of a higher rez version of the picture and getting my tablet to work momentarily. Not particularly polished, but it fixes almost everything I have against the new costume and I think makes it pretty damn snazzy. I'd get rid of the choker too, but that seems like too much effort right now: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. 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!)
Bam. That's why I like you.
I do.I still don't see what is wrong with this look for WW.

Please explain.
Please explain.
What about the ones who don't have capes?!
I mean, seriously, where does Wonder Woman keep her tampons?!
Makes Batman keep them in his utility belt for her.
No need to repeat what have been already explained.Please explain.
My point is that it's a matter of taste and opinion. The fact that you can't see any problem with it, doesn't mean other people couldn't.
^If I saw that a priori my first reaction would be, "oh. Donna's wearing a tiara now."
It's time for the Xander quote again, isn't it?
Maybe I'm not a fanboy by your definition as I don't hate JMS' changes. The costume is fine, the backstory changes are fine. Maybe the new costume won't include the chastity belt she's been stuck in for decades. It's starting to get a bit smelly in there.
I just think you're all wasting your time reading DC comics if you want positive female characters. Actually, forget the female part of that.
