- Knee high boots? Huh?
- The waist seems a little loose, like it is just hanging there. I would have expected it to be a bit more form fitting like it is around the chest.
Other than those two issues, I quite like it. i know some "Traditionalists" will have problems with the colors but I do not.

Is it light/bright in color - no. However - Melissa adds a lightness to the character all by herself. Are tri-color bright characters not "modern" and suitable for mainstream and TV - I guess not anymore.
After N52 and some of the rumors about them going "non traditional" I am so-so-so relieved. I'm so looking forward to this show. Yes!

Melissa looks quite fit as well.....fills out the sleeves rather well, I must say!
The "lighted" version of the same pic looks even better:
Take a bow, Ms. Atwood!!!

I like it a lot.
Could have been a bit brighter but hey she is instantly recognizable.

This is perhaps the coolest thing about it.....instantly recognizable as a SuperFamily member, yet different at the same time, IMO. I cannot say how happy I am at the reveal!

That does look better. Still can't say I'm a fan of the knee high boots though. I like the colors though.

But honestly. Why are the images so dark? haven't they heard of lighting?

Agree with that.....I wish they would ditch the leggings and shorten the boots if I had my wish. She has great legs, IMO...

Yeah.
i think if the idea was "This is the exact same outfit but no cape...."then well its just a strange dress with boots. As the expression goes-it ties it together.

Agree....I've checked out a lot of the articles on various mainstream comic, pop culture, and film sites. Aside from a few trolls, most I've seen are very complimentary. In this day and age, it's quite remarkable, especially from the fandom sites. Hopefully this translates into ratings and a long shelf life for the series.

It's a 2015 version of Helen Slater's 1984 costume.
Wow.
