Classic swimsuit vs Rebirth/movie battle armor

[Zahina]

It's been 2 years since Wonder Woman's rebirth/movie armor costume debuted.

Are you happy with the rebirth/movie armor costume she's wearing now or do you want back the classic swimsuit costume back?

[AmiMizuno]

I don't mind rebirth outfit or her original. It's all how she is drawn

[Punisher007]

I MUCH prefer the Rebirth/movie costume. It's no contest really.

I like the movie version than the swimwear. The swimwear should be strictly for beach.
In my opinion Wonder Woman should have multiple costumes with different advantages that she should use in different situation. This will also help Wonder Woman earn from merchandise.

Battle-skirt 10/10 over Swimsuit.

DC let their artists turn the swimsuit into a thong so damn often that I was no longer surprised whenever I saw huge portions of Diana's bare butt-cheeks and/or crotch showing:







You would have to compare that with how often DC let their artists show upskirt shots of Diana. I'm willing to bet that the blatant instances for that are much lower than the thong.

I love both and am fine with either. The movie/Rebirth costume has less potential to be drawn poorly though, so that one has the edge.

I like (and miss) the classic costume... when it’s drawn correctly and covers her properly. Not a fan of Wonder-Cheesecake. That’s one of the positives of the current armor look, artists can’t really turn it into a thong.

Classic costume. I wouldn't call it a swimsuit as there's a bunch of metallic stuff on that outfit that isn't swimwear--although Diana can no doubt go underwater in that gear without getting rust. I'd prefer the shorts to be longer like bike shorts or bermuda shorts. And I always liked the sandals more than the boots.

It was supposed to be a positive step forward for women to have a hero who wore practical shorts rather than a skirt. So while the battle skirt might be authentic to some ancient warriors, it seems like a step back for Wonder Woman as a role model.

And the Amazons in classical literature were described as wearing pants or culottes suitable for riding horses--which is a constant association with Amazons for the ancient Greeks who didn't wear pants. So trousers or shorts makes more sense to me.

Rebirth 100%!

Nearly every aspect of the original costume has been carried over and modernized (We can definitely lose the brown strap, though). It is very clearly a Wonder Woman costume, and my favourite rendition has got to be Nicola Scott's. It's perfect.

DC has got Superman and Batman wearing their underwear on the outside again and they look utterly ridiculous standing next to Wonder Woman in her current outfit. I honestly can't ever understand the pushback against letting these characters looks evolve with the times.

IMO At the end of the day where talking about superhero comics,A level of ridiculousness and sillyness to be expected.

The outfits stick because they're tied to the identity of said characters

While I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the briefs, I do love the Rebirth/Movie costume. I never had the issue with the original that others have had and the problem of artists not drawing her completely covered also falls back on editorial not stepping in and saying "No, you can't do that." It's not like they haven't had panels redrawn for less.
As for the Rebirth costume, I do wish the skirt were a brighter blue and had more prominent stars, but I do like it very much. The boots are fine either way, although, again, I do have a soft spot for the below the knee red with a white stripe version.

A lot of people seem to forget this. We can believe a man can fly, shoot lasers from his eyes, walk through walls...but how dare their clothing not be practical and real world enough.

Not every level of sillyness has to be accepted. All stories need some level of grounding.
