John Stang's Wonder Woman costume

When I first seen the Wonder Woman's costume for the upcoming Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman I thought it looked awesome but strange in the same thought. I liked the all leather armor look however at the same time it looked nothing like Wonder Woman.  I read what others had to say about it then made my own observations based upon my vast knowledge of period armor from my days I spent in period historical reenactment clubs and my knowledge of Wonder Woman and the Amazons.

First was the wrist guards/bracelets.  Wonder Woman uses these to deflect bullets.  The new ones are made out of leather.  While that may be historical accurate it is also accurate for them to have metal strips attached to them.  Metal pieces was also attached to leather body armor too.  Also leather dye is an aged old practice going back thousands of years.

With this in mind I used gimp to edit a familiar pic. I muted the metals both gold and silver.  I think this pic now looks awesome.  I just wish the industry could see these changes I made with gimp.

One thing that I can't edit is the boot.  They are 4 - 6 inch high heels.  Wonder Woman is a warrior/athlete.  Can you name one Athlete that wears high heels?  I can think of none.  High heels is extremely painful to wear.  Women mostly wear flats today because of this.  Why advertise something that is painful to wear not mention will cause potential nerve damage to a woman's ankles before they are thirty.  The Movie industry should be accountable for such things.

Thanks for your time.
