Comic Hero Makeovers - Is it for kids, or adults?

By kirby, June 30, 2010 at 9:31 pm

My oldest daughter went to a Halloween party last year as Wonder Woman.  It wasn't the most subtle of characters, but overall a wholesome figure - although she does wear a lot less clothing than Superman.

DC comics just revealed the "new and improved" Wonder Woman.  She still has the signature WW logo and bracelets,

They've tried to update Mickey, but the masses protested

but she takes on a much edgier look.  She's much more covered up than the original, but I'm not quite sure how I feel about this one. 

I wonder if companies are transforming their character's looks to get older with their "old" audience, or are they trying to appeal to a new, younger fan base?  Does it work?
When you look at them, there are quite a few animated transformations.  Are you a traditionalist, or are you glad they are updated characters as time goes by?
In 2006 she underwent a huge change. Did you know Batwoman was a Lesbian? She even has a love interest... Renee Montoya an ex-police detective
I need to read the comics more closely. I think they might be better than daytime soaps.
Batwoman was originally created in 1956 with the purpose of being Batman's love interest
In 2005, Warner Brothers gave Bugs' posse a new look and they appeared in Loonatics Unleased for two years, but WB went back to the old look after too much backlash
Looney Tunes were having a hard time competing with newer cartoons.

She went from looking like Raggedy Ann to Lindsay Lohan.
O.K., maybe not quite like Lindsay, but she does look like she's up to something
How sweet and innocent is Strawberry Shortcake?
I guess they felt he was a little obscene in the nude.
The Original Kool Aid man
Wonder Woman is looking pretty good for 69. DC comics wanted to give her an edgier look, and I think they succeeded. She scares me.

The old Wonder Woman was half naked, but I kind of like that she's got a little something extra going on with her thighs
