are certain elements I&#8217;m not terribly fond of, however, the overall design is more realistic for a female superhero.\u00a0 Additionally, I&#8217;m hoping for a live action Wonder Woman feature film sometime in the next few years.\u00a0 This costume is more likely to be believable on the big screen and taken seriously as compared to the star-spangled bathing suit.\u00a0 Like I said, I&#8217;m probably in the minority.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I&#8217;ll be interested to see what the following sites have to say about this new look:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Girls
