Wonder Woman Still Hot at 69
For the first time in her 69-year history, Wonder Woman will be getting a significant costume change. And by significant, I mean she’ll be getting pants. Via The New York Times, new DC writer J. Michael Straczynski (he of Babylon 5 fame) said the following in an email statement:
Modern sensibility? Pants are so 1997. The old Wonder Woman outfit is classic, in my opinion, as clearly demonstrated by Linda Carter.
Really, it doesn’t get any better than that. The time to put Wonder Woman in pants was 10 years ago, if ever a time existed. But now? Classic is new again, and the old Wonder Woman outfit is classic.
BUMRUSH demerits for the new redesign.
“She’s been locked into pretty much the exact same outfit since her debut in 1941... If you’re going to make a statement about bringing Wonder Woman into the 21st century, you need to be bold and you need to make it visual. I wanted to toughen her up, and give her a modern sensibility.”

It is a proven fact that pants impede one's ability to fight crime. I go crime-fighting every night and I always take my pants off first.
