Fox News: New ‘Wonder Woman’ Outfit Lacks Patriotism
Foxnews.com say David E. Kelley’s character has lost her “patriotic costume in favor of ‘globalized’ duds.”

The Wonder Woman costume for NBC’s remake of the 1970’s series has been revealed, and is stirring up some controversy -- from Fox News.

FoxNews.com featured a piece Friday which took issue with the loss of Wonder Woman’s stars and stripes. The new outfit from David E. Kelley’s pilot was revealed on Friday.

“The new and allegedly improved Wonder Woman (a.k.a Diana Prince) has been given a head-to-toe makeover by artist Jim Lee, replacing her signature American flag decorated briefs with skintight…pants and purging the super hero of all her trappings of Americana,” the story claims.

16. The original costume...
Edited on Sat Mar-19-11 05:32 AM by NewJeffCT
So, the old costume had bare legs and stars on her shorts... I see stars, but not a flag.

The new costume is basically the same except tights cover the legs and no stars on the tights

10. Eh, I think they should have held true to the original costume.
Update it sure, but I guess I'm a purist. WW is supposed to have a red, white, and blue outfit, because that's what she had in the original series. The new suit looks good, but they should replace the gold with white, imho.

22. Faux News ought to look at the US Code
Faux News ought to do a quick review of the United States Code, specifically the parts to do with the flag before opening their pie holes. Especially this part of 4 USC 1 § 8;

(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.

28. They're just pissed because it's produced by David E. Kelley
and he's a big ol' liberal who's taken plenty of jabs at FauxNews and their idiot viewers over the years.

31. Fox is factually incorrect. How shocking.
“The new and allegedly improved Wonder Woman (a.k.a Diana Prince) has been given a head-to-toe makeover by artist Jim Lee, replacing her signature American flag decorated briefs with skintight…pants and purging the super hero of all her trappings of Americana,” the story claims.


Her briefs were not decorated with an American flag. They were blue, with stars, and not 50 of them, and no stripes of any kind.
