Wonder Woman’s Costume Problem

Wonder Woman will get a new look in the upcoming Justice League: War animated feature film, while artist Yanick Paquette teased a new look for the heroine in the upcoming Wonder Woman: The Trial of Diana Prince original graphic novel.And, predictably, nobody’s too happy about it because…well, fans tend not to be happy whenever anything changes, but particularly as it pertains to female superheroes, any attempt to make their costumes more practical and to put them more in line with what their male counterparts wear is tagged by detractors as “politically correct.”DC tried to give Wonder Woman pants when they relaunched their universe two years ago, and fan response was so vitriolic that the plan got scrapped, leaving her once again bare-legged. Not surprisingly, many self-described feminists, who had been excited by the prospect of DC’s most recognizable female hero wearing something more practical into battle, didn’t take the reversion well, proving that you can’t possibly please everyone.
