Pérez’s 1987 costume design is particularly notable because it followed DC’s game-changing Crisis on Infinite Earths Series. The artist made significant updates, such as swapping Diana’s high heels for flats—highlighting the impracticality of an isolated Amazon culture using heels—and giving her bracelets of submission a bolder design. However, this iconic costume is not just Pérez’s creation. The foundation of the look, including the Change from Diana’s classic golden eagle emblem to the WW initials on her chest was introduced in 1982 Under the leadership of DC Comics’ first female publisher, Jenette Kahn.

Therefore, Wonder Woman’s classic costume, with her signature WW emblem, star-spangled briefs, white-striped red boots and bold bracelets, was the result of a collaboration between DC creators. See this costume return in Batman/Superman: The World’s Finest #30 was nostalgic for me, as it faithfully recreates the original design. The only thing missing is Diana’s curlier, fuller hair that Pérez popularized in his version. While I understand that hairstyle was very much a product of the ’80s, I still would have loved to see it make a comeback.
