"Get Us Out From Under, Wonder Woman!"

For months now, Dan Didio at DC Comics has been screaming a word that, frankly, struck terror in my heart...
"Manazons!"

You see, there's all this talk about Diana Prince being replaced as Wonder Woman this year...

...A year without Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman... Hmmm... Hey DC Comics - - Didn't we do this just 2 or 3 years ago?... As Yogi Berra would say, "It's like deja vu all over again."...

...and the talk implied that the new Wonder Woman would be a man. Yeah...

Well, now we're learning that's SORT OF true. Yes, Wonder Woman's replacement is a man, but he won't dress like this. 

Sure, you MIGHT think that this boy is sexy in his "satin tights, fighting for your rights"... 





...but for every manazon twink with muscles who ALMOST pulls off Lynda Carter's old costume, there will be dozens of manazons who look like this. 

Not that I don't love me some big, hairy men...

...dip me in honey and throw me to the bears, as far as I'm concerned...

...I just don't want my bears in blue skirts polka-dotted with white stars.

The white go-go boots, however? Fierce, girl! 

FIERCE!!

Stephen, dude, I don't care how fierce the hairy man-bear-wonder-woman may be, once I saw the muscley twink in the satin tights...well, I needed to see no more.

And I'll be seeing quite a bit more of the muscley twink...in my dreams. Never wanted to be tied up by a magic lariot before......

HUGS...

There are bears and there are scary bears. He qualifies as scary. But you are right - his boots rock!

ya know, looking at him again (and its not the first time I've done so), I think the muscley twink could be Wonder BOY! Whatcha think? 'Friend' to Robin, since he lost Kon-El! :)

HUGS...

I've been told I have an odd sense of what makes a man attractive. Of course I'm in good company here. But honey, I think the Wonder Bear looks GOOD! And yes, the boots are a strong contributing factor. I'd pick Wonder Bear over Wonder Boy.

Men dressed as wonder woman?? Deplorable. What's next- suicide bombing schoolbuses?
