People claim that the new outfit is more practical, but it would actually restrict her freedom of motion far more than the old one.

I saw that! It made me hate the redesign slightly less because I heart Tim Gunn.

1996 was the best year ever so… I like it :)Except for the choker.
It’s not going to last and I don’t think this is about changing her history but adding to it. I think it’s great, a lot of characters go through a what drives me to be a hero/ who am I? Journey and it’s about time Diana was examined on this level. I believe she will go on this adventure and come back not too long after she left. I do have to say that I have never read a full wonder woman run and now I am interested. I love the idea of wonder woman and I really liked her on Super Friends but any story I tried to read, I don’t know I really just couldn’t relate to her stories.

Check it… Lynda Carter likes the new look…

Actress Lynda Carter, whom a vast majority of people envision when (and if) they think of Wonder Woman, likes the new ensemble. Really.

“I think it will take time for people to get over not seeing a lot of leg,” she told ABC News. “[But] I think it’s going to be very sexy and it’s new and I love the little cap sleeve. You know, she’s a hip girl. [...] “I think Wonder Woman has a mind of her own. And I think she was just kind of ready for something new. She’s got an attitude and if this is the new thing that she wants to wear, well, by God, she’s going to wear it. And I like that. And I hope that in the story someone mentions, where’s the old one? And she says, get over it!”

Her new duds all make WW look completely average – maybe even a rung below. The old uniform said “Woman.” The new one? “Spoiled mall rat.”

At least she’s getting a hellova lot more attention than she has in a while. If nothing else, I think that itself is a good thing. And since it’s an alternate timeline, I see this almost like an Elseworld or a What-If story.

While it also appears like a cheap shot in evading the events of BNWW, among other things, the way I see it is, since there also was mention of flashbacks of her proper timeline, it’s not like Diana’s going to forget anything of the real timeline once it’s restored. This is pretty much a journey of getting her life and memory back, much like what Bruce is doing now. There will probably be some repercussions that carry over, but that’s the same with ROBW also. So it’s not like Diana is the only one working to get herself back to someplace. This actually is pretty much a running theme with all of the Trinity right now.

I honestly think this all boils down to sales. The new continuity, the wardrobe change — this all gets the mainstream press’ attention, which gets the general public’s attention, which (DC hopes) encourages casual readers to pick it up. I guess it’s also intended as an easy way for new readers to start fresh with Wonder Woman. Comic readership in general has been declining for years, and though she is an icon, WW just doesn’t move as many books as her male counterparts. I’ve got plenty of theories about that, but that’s the reality. I hate the idea of de-powering her and removing any hope for a BatWondy love affair, but take heart: Even if this turns out to be a huge mistake, it’s likely to be undone a year from now anyway. Alas, that’s comics!

I. FEEL. YOUR. FRUSTRATION.

I didn’t even THINK about the Batwondy thing. ARGH. I really had hope that they would go there with the two of them when he finally got back to the future.

You raise some excellent questions. I read somewhere though, that this book is going to be outside of main DC continuity. I’m not certain, but that would allow them to be business as usual on all the other books.
