I am not a huge comic book geek. But apparently, Almost everyone hates Wonder Woman's new costume
I think it's OK.
Yeah, I don't understand what's so terrible about it. It looks cool to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If a 30-year-old reference is hip!
It's a TV reference. I'd have to do something to conjure up images from...John Le Carre or summat for my mother. She's not the slightest bit hip. And even then? She'd wonder why I'd want to make a reference, because that's silly.
My mother's spleen has nothing but spleen in it. She's spleniful.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
Because the black leggings are totally something Lindsey Lohan would support and any time you can connect Wonder Woman to Lilo, that's not a good thing.
Hate it.

The Comics Alliance crew seemed okay with it (and are strongly in favor of giving her some damn pants). But reviewing her costume changes over the years probably helped: [link]

IT'S ENTIRELY WRONG. YOU TWO ARE BOTH WRONG.
There's just...nothing special about it. The 90s called and it wants its jacket back. Skinny jeans? Really? Spurs? Rollerblade wrist protectors?
There's no icon there.
I know she'd been running around in a metal swimsuit, but at least it stood out. Deck her out in Hoplite armour. Give her something that looks like Donna Troy wouldn't wear it. Or some random Marvel heroine.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Speaking of... clothes, today in downtown Evanston I saw a woman of college age wearing what looked like a men's flannel shirt with no pants - just pantyhose underneath.
Huh.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
a men's flannel shirt with no pants - just pantyhose underneath.
If it's cool enough for flannel, it's cool enough for pants or at least a skirt. [/curmudgeon]

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Now tagless for your comfort.
I found another Buffista Children's book by a local author. I bought a copy today. If anyone wants one and wants it signed, I can get it for you. The last three pages are truly awesome.

Oh, cool! I didn't know he wrote a children's book. I love The Name of the Wind.
