Wonder Woman to undergo massive overhaul. And puts on some damn pants already. - Page 8

More Photo-Shoppage, Still, I REALLY would prefer the armor.

There's also another that resembles her classic design with a few updates. It might be the final design.

Though either way. They are just screwing with the fans and likely trying to get them to care about WW.

This implies that Wonder Woman isn't already one of the, if not THE, most-recognized women in the entire comic industry.

It's always painful when these long established heroes get a reboot of any kind, especially when they try to become more "modern".

Am I wrong in believing that Batman has avoided the worst of this kind of rebooting. Sure he's died once or twice but other than that he seems to be the most consistent.

What I meant was build up some free hype and attention for the comic.

She's the most recognizable female superhero but it doesn't mean people are going to be buying copies of a series with just Wonder Woman in it, for very long, either. She'll probably be relegated back to Justice League comics.

Batwoman's design is more visually appealing anyway, it's so damn RED. Plus she's a lesbian so they get to pretend they're being revolutionary in having a gay superhero (because we all know lesbians are incredibly hard to sell to the male teen crowd. It's not because it's hard to sell a gay male superhero. Not at all!)

Teenagers don't buy comics as much as you seem to think. In fact, I'd hazard a guess that most of the audience is out in the professional workforce, just because it's the same assumption everyone makes with video games. If teenagers were actually buying comics, they wouldn't have to pull things like Ultimate Marvel to reboot the whole thing to try to capture them as a new audience.

Also, a gay superhero wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if they did it decently. They haven't yet, but they could. Actually, Northstar from Alpha Flight is gay and they seem to have handled it pretty well, all told. Mostly because explicit homosexuality was censored at first, but he was supposed to be gay from the start and they actually treated him like a character even after the reveal, rather than a stereotype.

Is hard to sell without being all stereotypical.
