Wonder Woman:

WONDER WOMAN’S NEW COSTUME LOOKS DUMB!

The point of contention still is, as it always was, that people are getting tired of seeing all of the female leads drawn with body language and uniforms that make them appear less heroic, powerful, legitimate, and all-around able to be taken seriously than their male counterparts.

Pants

The 12 Labors of Wonder Woman - Part 10

Of course that is not to suggest the clothes are necessarily what make a character appear powerful or not, but I’d like to think most people can spot a pose designed to show off a character’s strength versus one chosen to make them appear more sexually appealing.
