I don't know how well received the original Wonder Woman wearing the stars and stripes costume did overseas but I'm guessing that she was popular overseas regardless, so her new costume is for PC purposes; which is bullshit. Captain America wore the American start and red, white and blue. Why can't Wonder Woman?

Here I was thinking that the Wonder Woman costume in this movie was a pretty good adaptation, and I'm American. Blending the classic Wonder Woman color scheme from the comics with a clothing design that closer resembles ancient Greek military clothing was a good design choice, in my opinion. Really, the only thing missing was the star pattern on the blue skirt, but that would look silly and not make any sense within the context of the movie.

The Captain America comparison doesn't really fit. Steve Rogers' first role after receiving the super soldier serum was to bolster national pride. He was given the moniker "Captain America" and dressed in the stars and stripes for that purpose.

As for Wonder Woman, her only connection to America in this movie was Steve Trevor and "Chief" who claimed he had no country of his own, and Steve was actually working for the British military at the time. This entire movie takes place in Themyscira and Europe, so there is no context in the movie where it would make sense for Diana to purposefully represent the American flag.

It would be too self-referential to the time and place in which the comic book was created (WWII era USA) for Wonder Woman to dress in stars and stripes. I don't believe this movie changed that aspect of her costume for PC purposes, but because the change fit the context of the story better.

It may be just me, but making Wonder Woman look less like the American flag didn't even register with me as a significant change. On the other hand, I was quite bothered by Zach Snyder's choice to remove Superman's classic red trunks when Man of Steel came out.

Wonder Woman appeared in American comic books therefore she's an American conceptions character.

Wonder Woman is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.[2] The character is a founding member of the Justice League, demigoddess, and Ambassador-at-Large of the Amazonian people. In her homeland, her official title is Diana, Princess of Themyscira, Daughter of Hippolyta. When outside of her homeland, she adopts her civilian identity Diana Prince. The character is also referred to by such epithets as the Amazing Amazon, the Spirit of Truth, and The Goddess of Love and War.

Her homeland: Themyscira is a fictional, lush city-state and island nation appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Originally known as Paradise Island, it first appearance in All Star Comics #8 (December 1941), and was created by William Moulton Marston to allegorize the safety and security of the home where women thrived apart from the hostile, male-dominated work place.

Therefore Wonder Woman represents women's rights in the American culture. If any other culture wants a wonder woman then they need to find another substitution, not change our Wonder Woman into whatever they want her to be.
