wonder-woman posts

A while ago we reported that the new costume for Wonder Woman that was introduced in its regular month comic book would not be shown in the upcoming MMO DC Universe Online. Now publisher Sony Online has sent over some new screenshots from the game showing off its version of the Amazon Princess in action.

As you can see, the MMO's version of Wonder Woman still has her classic costume firmly in place (pun not intended .. ok, maybe a little intended). This is in contrast to the new costume which has Diana wearing a jacket and (shudder) pants. Perhaps there will be an option some day to switch to the new costume after DC Universe Online launches in November.

Wonder Woman is getting a lot of mainstream media coverage today. DC Comics' Amazon Princess is getting a new costume (the first major change for the character's look in a long time) in the pages of the 600th issue of the Wonder Woman comic book, which is in comic book stores today. Her new outfit, which definitely covers up more of Diana's body than her traditional uniform, was designed by Jim Lee who also happens to be the art director for the upcoming Sony Online developed MMO DC Universe Online.

So is the new look for Wonder Woman going to be in the game when it comes out later this November? According to what a Sony Online PR rep told Big Download today, "At this point, no." The rep did confirm that the character will appear in the game as an NPC alongside Superman, Batman and the other DC Comics heroes but it looks like she will be wearing her classic outfit in the game world.
