Wonder Woman #600 hit the stands today and Wonder Woman is showing a little less leg.  Her one piece bathing suit has been replaced with long tight pants (or perhaps leggings) and she’s wearing a jacket.  She’ll be able to fight now with out worrying about her lady parts falling out. 

The costume was designed by penciler and DC Comics co-publisher Jim Lee.

All tradition is not lost as Wonder Woman still has the tiara and the bracelets; though the bracelets now cover up a portion of her hand so she can stamp a big W on the cheeks of villians.

“It’s a look designed to be taken seriously as a warrior, in partial answer to the many female fans over the years who’ve asked, ‘how does she fight in that thing without all her parts falling out?’” said incoming series writer J. Michael Straczynski.

“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,” Straczynski said. “It reflects the two sides warring for ultimate victory, and underscores the path she must take.”

CSMonitor reports that Straczynski pointed out the jacket has pockets. 

“She can close it up to pass unnoticed … open it for the freedom to fight … lose the jacket or keep it on … it has pockets (the other fan question, “where does she carry anything in that outfit?”), it can be accessorized,” Straczynski wrote in DC’s official release. “it’s a Wonder Woman look designed for the 21st century.”
