Debunking the Xena Comparison

| |
At this weekends 2014 San Diego Comic-Con, Warner Brothers released the first official photo of actress Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman from the upcoming  Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice film. Immediately fan boys took to the interwebs to compare Dianas outfit to that of Xena, played by Lucy Lawless  in 1995-2001. I suppose many of the so-called "fan boys" thought they were being cleaver in referencing a t.v. series thats been off the air for over 10 years. If any of them were true fans they would have known that Princess Diana of Themyscira has been rocking the warrior princess look in comics before Xena ever hit the small screen.



Throughout the years Wonder Woman has had many different costumes but she has been sporting the Warrior look since the 1980s, Thats right folks; the 80s which was long before the Xena television series was created. If you need proof, feel free to Google Warrior Wonder Woman by George Perez which was done in the 80s and you will see for yourself. Princess Diana has been kicking butt in it ever since. If anything, Xena was inspired by Wonder Woman not the other way around.  Perhaps you should stop calling yourselves fan boys when it seems like your only goal is to rip apart uncompleted films. You have demonstrated an obvious lack of knowledge on the history of the character in comics. 

For those of you who say the movie costume is a rip off of Xena; your argument is invalid.
