Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Wonder Woman's getting rebooted. Again.

I don't think that costume works at all. It looks like she's going to Target.

This blog comment is actually a better critique:

Looks like she’s just changed for happy hour after work. In 1996.

Exactly.

Oh, even better...

Well, it’s not a permanent change. Remember: the timelines was changed, her memory erased and she’s been depowered.

Don't they even read Women in Refrigerators? Jesus.

That which does not kill you should RUN

I'm okay with the costume (it could use some tweaking, though), but WTF is with the "alternate history"?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Man, why can't I just have a JLU Wonder Woman and a Teen Titans (TV) Cyborg in the comics?

Here's a good overview of her 90s duds. Lots of leather jackets.

Dag - so that's when they got ruined.

Teen Titans (TV) Cyborg in the comics

Right? He's awesome! (I also prefer TV Raven to comics Raven, but not as strongly as I do Cy.)

He is! Just a jillion times funner.

Concur. It was just a well written show.

Plus? Kick-ass theme song.

Teen Titans Go! (Puffy AmiYumi kicks ass in general.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah. Wondie needed a shrug in the 90s, obviously.

Man, why couldn't the Perez reboot stick? I loved that reboot.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My new favorite Wonder Woman headline relating to her costume change: Wonder Woman Has Decided to Cosplay as 90s Superboy.

I don't know why people think spandex leggings, a bustier and a cropped leather jacket is less trashy than her classic costume.

Besides, we've seen enough variations on her classic costume to know that you can easily bend it towards something a lot more like - you know - a Greek warrior in greaves and a sassy leather battle skirt in the Hoplite manner.

Oh well. It's not Electric Blue Superman.
