comicsalliance: In the newly released Suicide Squad #1, out today, you might notice something very different about the Squad’s tough-as-nails leader Amanda Waller: Formerly one of the rarest breeds in the DC Universe — a full-figured lady — “The Wall” has apparently transformed into “The Rail,” adopting the same interchangeable hourglass figure and 22-inch waist as pretty much every other superheroine. I guess because there are no fat chicks allowed in the new DCU. See our reactions in animated GIF form at: http://www.comicsalliance.com/2011/09/14/amanda-waller-skinny-thin-reboot/
