I'm indifferent towards the new costume, but I'm pleased that they're changing her costume, if that makes sense.
Someone somewhere, and I can't remember who, made one comment that's stuck with me: in the 1950s when she was created, she was a woman wearing boyshorts, she was making a statement, saying "I'm not in the kitchen, I'm wearing athletic clothes, and I'm going to kick your arse." Only it's now 2010 and the costume hasn't changed except to get tighter and skimpier, and she doesn't look like an icon of feminist freedom any more, she looks like every other bikini babe.
I don't 100% agree with that - I don't hate her costume. But yeah, I'm happy to move on.
(The new costume - yeah, I'm indifferent to it, but it opens the door for a lot more reinventing to come. If they're retconning her entire story, a few costume changes as she grows into her Hero Thing should be easy. :D)
Also, I still like your icon of all the DC icons :D
