It’s rare I see a Wonder Woman piece I haven’t seen, but here is one. It’s looks like a poster from a book. Beautiful Wonder Woman.
Yes yes yes.

I couldn’t find a calendar that I wanted to buy this year, so I made my own on Snapfish using portraits of DC Comics women by Darwyn Cooke. I think it turned out really well. Here are ten of my choices. Catwoman and Batgirl are in the calender too, but tumblr won’t let me have a photo set over 10 pictures.
I pulled all these images from comicartfans.com, an awesome resource for projects like this. I think the extra money spent will be well worth it for me to get to look up from my desk every day of this year and see some of my favorite characters drawn by my favorite comic book artist.

Any self-respecting comic book geek who isn’t reading dcwomenkickingass is missing out on some GREAT discourse. Articles like the following make me want to cheer out loud:
Source: dcwomenkickingassLast week Entertainment Weekly called it “a stripper outfit”. Yesterday on the Beat someone said it made her look like a “prostitute.” I’ve also heard hooker, slut, streetwalker and plenty of other descriptors.
So much fail.
What Wonder Woman wears has nothing to do with her sex life or anyone’s sex life or work.
To keep using these words is playing into the moralistic, misogynistic idea that when a woman shows “too much” skin or wears a certain kind of outfit, it enables you to make assumptions and judgements about her sex life. And it also also passes judgement on someone who chooses sex work as a profession.
What a crock of shit.
Look, here’s Wonder Woman in her traditional costume by Nicola Scott.
Now here are some female athletes.
Not much of a difference is there? Tell me what those outfits have to do with their sex life?
Can the Wonder Woman costume look tacky? Sure when certain artists draw her in it:
And that first costume for the TV show? That was just ugly.
So do me a favor. When you talk about Wonder Woman’s apparel, say you don’t like the costume because it is silly looking or because you don’t think it is appropriate to the task at hand or that you like pants better because you are a pants person.
But stop trying to make Wonder Woman’s costume about her sex life or any other woman’s.
And remember no matter how silly Wonder Woman’s costume is, it’s still not this:
New video showing last night’s filming of the Wonder Woman pilot showing how the lasso will be handled. If you skip to around 1:41, you’ll see her “throwing” it. Those of you who guessed CGI would be used appear to be right. Also if you skip to around 6:42 you’ll see Wonder Woman in a pose that reminds me of a certain cover.
Looks like she’s wearing red boots here! GOOD.

And you know what? One more good Wonder Woman costume for good measure.
