EXPOSE: WHY WONDER WOMAN NEEDS TO KEEP THE REAL DEAL WARDROBE.
Don't forget that Xena, wasn't afraid to be sexy in fights, because it distracts guys (and lesbian villains too.) If she had on a lot of clothes, she rips a slit in her skirt (sometimes throwing off bulky clothes quickly,while keeping weapons and basic attire on) and kicks/punches them, while they're starring at her.
WW sexiness is a distraction, to better beat the bad guys.Both heroines do the exact same thing.It's what all lady fighters do and guys can sexualize a lady in any type of outfit,job or role. That's why she need to keep the traditional outfit.Plus, WW is the Barbie of Super Heroines, she wears a variety of outfits- BASED on the core design.
Yes, putting a armored jumpsuit on WW will silence the critics and please the feminists,but that just turns her into lame knockoff, of any X Man based lady superhero. Then,you can't tell the difference between her and Man of Steel villain Faora-Ul,who herself was a pure evil version of the character the producers are trying to change Diana T. Prince into, for Batman V. Superman.
Also,since This version of Faora wasn't killed at the end of Man of Steel, a change to confuse the two roles (with the audience) will be created. Next, this undying need to turn Diana into a bitch is weird. The TV show worked because she was: willing work with men,actually friendly (when warranted) and was able to fall in love with her supposed enemy,a man-if they respected her as a woman.
A true woman uses her sexiness as a weapon, before uses her skills and smarts against her foe anyways.
