So guys they are giving Wonder Woman pants. Pants designed by Jim Lee!! Since when did Jim Lee redesigns result in less skin being shown?
Here is a New York Times article about it. Here is a more comic-nerdy interview at CBR. edit:
And here's a summary of the various web reactions. OTOH, drastic re-imaginings can and have brought new life to titles in the past: see Miller's Daredevil, or Giant-Size X-Men. But it's very easy for this sort of stuff to not work out, and have a character get bogged down under the weight of a thousand relaunches. Does GDS have opinions? Or want to talk about Daredevil's special new costume??
