Rotund Waller vs Thin Waller

[Arach Knight]

One of the most prominent changes to come out of New 52 and the Suicide Squad/New Suicide Squad is an all new take on Amanda "The Wall" Waller, who has been reimainged as a thinner, more attractive woman. Although this new rendition of Waller retains the same characteristics, many fans consider her new look to be too much of a departure from the original, therefore undermining the character. How do you, readers of the current run on the book, feel about this change?

Yeah, wasn't fond of the physical change. The problem is as "the wall" she is very imposing and intimidating, with the New 52 kind of "supermodel" look she lacks that and it's hard to take her seriously. There really was no need to change it BUT the character is still essentially the same. Yes, her earlier life is a bit different but remains true to the essence of the character. Though some act (in my opinion) the physical change is so much of a departure that she is not the same character at all. Makes me wonder what would happen if they gave Luthor hair if they're going by that.
