A Sad Day for Superheroes (imo)

For as many years as I can remember, I have always looked at Wonder Woman in awe and amazement. Her iconic outfit a symbol of both sexiness and power (at least in my eyes) and of course, one of the best hallowe’en superhero costumes (comes equipped with great power cuffs, a lasso and a fabulous tiara like headdress). Well, changes have been made… gone are the fabulous boots and hot pants and hello to “urban leggings” and a edgy street look … =/

I understand that all things inevitably get updated, but I just don’t like what they did to my childhood icon.
