Off My Mind: New Wonder Woman Vs. Old Wonder Woman

Can't I just like them both?

I really have no idea whats going on there. lol.
 
Wasn't she in the newest issue of Justice League of America too?

IMO, i prefer the original leotard . The other costume still looks good, but she should wear it as civvy clothes instead . 
:)

We also saw "Classic" Wonder Woman in issue 6 of The Return of Bruce Wayne, she was a big part of Bruce's death and resurrection at the end there along with Superman and Red Robin.  So even though it hasn't been addressed (for some ungodly reason) what the heck is going on with WW she still exists in the actual time line in some form.  She'd have to or else how could Donna and Wonder Girl exist if WW never had, and if she was gone wouldn't they be wondering what happened to her?   

I don't think they actually said that the Gods have messed around with time in her book, it was revealed but not in her comic I think, so if you missed it so did I.  Diana hasn't gotten to that point yet.  It will be a big reveal for her but not for the reader since it we already know.

They're the same character...
 
/thread.

I'm reminded of Brand New Day where people weren't sure if it was real or not. Wondering if Spider-Man in Secret Invasion was the "Brand New" Spider-Man or not. Then we got the Secret Invasion ASM/Brand New Day tie in that brought the two independent story lines together.  
 
Maybe we will see something that will explain and bring this all together?

I don't care what look they choose. I just want the old Wonder Woman's personality back.

I never been a WW fan but her recent issues have kicked ass and her new is great in my opinion. Never liked her old look that much but the new and recent one should stay. If Batman can change up his look so can she. Let Superman be the only elephant in the room

" I don't care what look they choose. I just want the old Wonder Woman's personality back. "

The problem is that Wonder Woman is constantly redone by most writers in a attempt to reach new readers no one can remember anything about her it's like she is unknown to fans. No constancy it's no wonder most people say writers don't "get" Wonder Woman since nothing sticks. 
 
As for Wonder Woman's status after being rebooted it's a mainstream it is Wonder Woman look at this future solicitation of Superman#708 (I can't believe it will be late by two months)

• Superman
 
• Also there is much belief that Return of Bruce Wayne, Flash's time travel arc, Time Masters and Wonder Woman's reboot all play a part in the 2011 event Flashpoint. Note Wonder Woman's appearance

JMS run on WW has been pretty bad to be honest I think they need to put in a filler page on the next WW comic apologising for the mess and just revert it all back to how it was before. 

New old character. The current wonder woman story kinda sucks

I think it would be nice if DC did not have all of their big guns with their own solo titles having revolve around big company crossovers. WW is already circling Flashpoint, Bruce Wayne just escaped as the last dying ember of Final Crisis and is already setting up the Bat League. Hal Jordan has been walking from one massive crossover into the other since he got back from the grave.  
 
Superman seems to have gone free and if you didnt read anything related to the S, you wouldnt have noticed he was on a different planet or the Earth had been threatened by some 300.000 angry kryptonians or that he is out to mimic Forrest Gump.  
Flash has also gone somewhat clear, except the Flash for the last 23 years suddenly dropped off the face of the planet in favor of a man who spent that time being very much dead and celebrated. And is now also heading towards the next big thing.
 
Thing is that if everything is about the 'big events', then they quickly become boring everyday reading.

i dont mind about the costume change but the new storyline has changed her personality into something weaker and uglier.

 I'm really confused. I don't mind a costume change, although I prefer her origional iconic one, but JMS is definitly missing the mark here with her personality and story reboot. This story would have made much more sense in a Wonder Woman: Earth One graphic novel.

Are people suprised that this "reboot"/new dirtection thing isn't sticking? It was inevitable. wonder woman needs to get her act together. When they restore her to how she was, they need to make her more iconic. Focus on the greek mythology stuff with a modern twist, giver an iconic city of her own, and pump up her rogues gallery

Wonder Woman hasn't been written well in years and i'm tired of it....

As long as she keeps her original personality, I hope she still gets the same love when she wore her original look....

I like classic Wonder Woman, but this new look has been growing on me. I hope it sticks around for a little while at least.

Actually I'm quite content with Stracz's work, what with all the godly and army stuff. It's much the two-faced legacy of Wonder Woman, thought without Trevor in the mix. I think he kinda grounded her in reality, like we saw in the 2009 anime, but his role would have trouble to stick, hence his distanciation. 
 
I think an orientation as a guardian of Themyscira as a heaven for warrior women, or even firewomen and police officers would make for nice team-ups and investigation stories.  I don't hate what's happening right now, but I don't see it going anywhere new or old... Just an arc. The rest is up to the other writers. 
 
And, I dig the costume! I'm on team jacket.

I am not the biggest Wonder Woman fan, but I would have to say look at the sales, if the sales increased past the first few issues of this "new" Wonder Woman then I think you can say people are generally accepting it and it could be around for awhile. But if sales went low, or at least stayed the same with the prechange numbers you'll probably see a quick revert and call it a dream or something. Hey we all knows comics and soap operas are pretty much the same thing.

Would this be a good time to start reading Wonder Woman?

Its too soon T-Bone :)
 
If companies are going to make radical changes to character like WW, then they need to be committed to them on a long term basis, NOT FOREVER, but at least long enough to let the story grow and resolve itself organically.  While I am not a huge WW fan, and even less so with recent changes, I do support DC's effort to think outside the box and introduce this great character to a wider audience.
 
On a related note, I hate when DC/Marvel hype up the RETURN of characters that haven't been gone more than a month or so...Like Hercules and the Black Lanterns for example...How long were they gone, a minute?  Let the stories evolve guys!

I`m with you G-man ! They absoulutly screw up Wonder Woman . She should be wearing her old costume and they should stop this whole timeline shit .

Superman meets the new Wonder Woman for the first time! But why can't he shake the feeling that he already knows her? The Man of Steel will have to figure that out later, as the two heroes have their hands full defending Omaha, Nebraska from the evil Keres, a supernatural force determined to rid the town (and the world!) of all Amazons – and they're not too crazy about Kryptonians, either.

" Would this be a good time to start reading Wonder Woman? "

I don't read DC (I watch the animated movies, regular movies, TV, etc), but I like her new costume.

I like the new look. I just wish, like many others, the story were more interesting.

Writers, please reveal your plan for this beloved character, and return her to her normal continuity. I am all for change, but this recent transformation of Wonder Woman does not speak to me, at all.

" Can't I just like them both? "

" Can't I just like them both? "

I don't read Wonder Woman, so I can't really speak about the writing, but I think the redesign is quite spectacular. It incorporates the themes of the classic design so it feels "right" while updating it to be more pragmatic, realistic, and flattering. Having pantlegs certainly has its benefits.
 
The jacket design is the one thing (despite looking nice) that is a bit unnecessary. 
 
Too bad they'll go right back to the granny panties look.

Team New Woman!!

I don't like the new, seemingly backstory-less, unaware of her own history except when the authors need her to be, Wonder Woman. I DO like most of the new costume though. I hate the jacket, and I'm not a fan of how the pants seem to be attached to boots. But I do like the choker, the new tiara, the new top, and gold W engraved gauntlets.

Didn't someone say at the beginning that this wasn't a permanent change!? Or is that just wishful thinking? I don't hate the new WW, but I do miss the old one as well.

You'd think women would be offended by Power Girl before Wonder Woman but that's another story altogether. 
 
The look is nothing, the writing is every thing...and JMS' Xena er, Wonder Woman story is unreadable video game arc inspired by Altered Beast. That is every level is a "Power Up!"

It kinda just seems like the writers arent really sure what to do with the character. I STILL think the new suit looks too much like a Wonder Girl uniform, but its growing on me and the whole "they altered my timeline and origins" thing also seems too much like a Donna Troy (who im really starting to like more than her sister) storyline...

If it is suppose to be 12 issues...I think we are just at the crust of the story arc...it needs time to get to the soft center part...I like the look...minus the jacket...and I like the constant scowl she seems to have...batman can't be the only brooding trinity member ^.~
