What were they thinking?

As per Deadline Hollywood, one of the best female superheros ever has been given an updated costume for some reason. Tight black leather pants and jacket with boots.  Really?  That’s the best they could come up with??  (Ok, so they altered the bracelets a bit too.)

Years, ago DC pulled the same stunt with Superman, giving him a snazzy black and white outfit.  Notice how the characters not wearing it anymore in the comics?

DC says of the new look, “It reflects her origins in both the outside world and the world of Amazons: tough, elegant…a street-fighter’s look which also incorporates elements of her classic design.”

Apparently, along with the new outfit comes a new timeline, one where Paradise Island gets invaded and Diana is one of the few to escape as a child, the story then picks up some twenty years later with Diana/Wonder Woman hunted and on the run from her enemies.

Cue the countdown for fan backlash with DC abandoning this look to go back to the tried and true look we all grew up with.
