Wonder Woman is seeing her biggest redesign perhaps ever. Designed by Jim Lee, the new costume has a blue jacket, red top with a golden “WW” logo at the top, and actual pants.

“The bracelets are still there, but made more colorful, tied on the inside and over the hand, with a script W on each of them that form WW when she holds them side by side . . . and if you get hit by one of them, it leaves a W mark,” said DC Comics’s Alex Segura. “This is a Wonder Woman who signs her work.”
The new outfit will debut in issue No. 600 of Wonder Woman, which will also see a new origin story, where she’s sent off of Themyscira as a child and her fellow Amazons are massacred. J. Michael Straczynski (Changeling, Babylon 5) is taking over as the head writer.
“She’s been locked into pretty much the exact same outfit since her debut in 1941,” Straczynski said. “If you’re going to make a statement about bringing Wonder Woman into the 21st century, you need to be bold and you need to make it visual. I wanted to toughen her up, and give her a modern sensibility. What woman only wears only one outfit for 60-plus years ”
