I think my problem with this is it looks too much like something a cosplayer would make or buy online. I feel if the costume looked heavier or made from a thinker material and was less spandex-ie it'd be alright. Also I'm just not getting a powerful or heroic vibe from this image. Of course I'll watch the show to see whats really what but these are my early feelings.
Wonder Woman
Character » Wonder Woman appears in 8805 issues.
The Amazon princess, blessed with god-like super abilities, Wonder Woman is one of Earth's most powerful defenders of peace, justice, and equality and a member of the Justice League. She is considered an archetype for many heroines outside of comic book. Her initial origin depicted her as a clay baby brought to life by patron goddess Aphrodite, but in recent years she has been depicted as the daughter of Zeus and Amazon queen Hippolyta.
Adrianne Palicki As Wonder Woman Costume Revealed!
oh no she doesn't have star spangled panties!!! @_@ RUINED FOREVERS!!!
kidding aside, it's not terrible, the boot color choice is a little weird, but the rest isn't bad at all.
But if that (boot color) was the only nitpick I had about this show, it'd be alright... but sadly the show's synopsis just sounds craptastic.
I actually like this more the than the other new one. If she had this in the comics than maybe the new look would of shined on me in second thought. People are complaining about it being too sexy,at least she is still wearing pants but I prefer the original look still in my personal opinion. No black leather but blue leather which is fine by me if she is going to wear shiny pants, the upper body has almost the classic look while the lower body is based on the recent look so not bad for me. I thought worse that she was going to wear a spy outfit or just business suit so this is a lot better plus she still might have her superpowers which I hope since it shows she has her lasso.
Wow I really hate it. Hopefully it looks better on Tv. I really hoped for the tv show she was going to use her costume she has now that Jim Lee made.
Someone should send that image to the producers!" Just found a photo manipulation making the colors less bright really would be ideal. "

I'm thinking you might be right, but if that's the case you don't have to be so defensive about this. Since these are just those reactions you brought up. Granted, saying stuff like "this show will end before it starts" is helping no one even though the claim is coming from a reaction to the image." How many times have we seen this? Why does everythink this will ruin the show? "this show will end before it starts" Stop being absurd. This is the first look. I'm positive it's not the final costume...and I also believe they put this out to guage the reaction towards it. I guarantee the costume does not look like this when the show starts. "

Yep, and gimps in two layers of fully body suit leather bondage are the most wholesome guys around and if they say stuff like 'punish me mistress and call me a worm' thats code for something like I am going fishing... anyway, you get the point etc and all that jazz. More to clothes than coverage, texture, cur, fabric, emphasis. Even differences between dimensions can make a diff.
The pants would be less of an issue if the boots were red or something. It just looks like whoever designed that thought "WE MUST HAVE RED ON TOP, BLUE ON BOTTOM. NO MIXING. NO CHANGES. FINAL DESTINATION."
Yep. That is my opinion.
" @digimod said:So is it risque because its shiny and the colors are bright? Prostitute seems a little harsh to me especially when compared to most costumes in the comic books. But then there has always been that criticism so it's not about this costume but female costumes in general." @xerox-kitty said:Yep, and gimps in two layers of fully body suit leather bondage are the most wholesome guys around and if they say stuff like 'punish me mistress and call me a worm' thats code for something like I am going fishing... anyway, you get the point etc and all that jazz.

What's all the crap about the bright colors? Wonder Woman is supposed to be bright. That's where the problems with Superman Returns started. The Maroon and navy blue was ridiculous. Not every superhero is dark and moody like Batman. The Costume looks good. This show will still fail and fast but the costume looks great. Hope she does a good job.
Baggy knees, bad cut. Jeeze she is gonna camel toe in that. Who put a seam there? Silver Gauntlets with the gold? Where are the folks from "What Not to Wear"?
" It looks like a deluxe Halloween costume. Ugh, the shiny material looks so cheap and cheesy. It's fine for the red bustier but the the pants shouldn't be made from the same material. The gold appliques look plastic and yes, the boots should have been red. "You hit that nail on the head!
Pardon my bluntness but that looks like s#$%.
Not only that but Adrianne Palicki looks so uncomfortable in that damn outfit, her stance in that picture alone should tell you she just can't handle this.
Yuck, it's so bright and shiny, it looks like latex....you know, the thing that people have NEVER liked on superheroes. And that fake gold? Are you kidding me?
Blasphemy.
" Just found a photo manipulation making the colors less bright really would be ideal. "Oh god, that looks perfect. Especially the one on the left.
wow, cleavage too much?
Most importantly, costume Material looks super cheap. She freaking looks like a blow up doll
I dunno what they could've done differently for the pants, but it does look kinda 80s silly. She could wear like a nice, royal blue skort!
I am mostly confused as to why they made her shoes blue instead of red.

I stand by the image on the left. as a costume I'd like to see when the current amnesia/whatever storyline ends.
" @digimod: I wouldn't use the term myself, but lets see. Personally, I would say the shininess really gives away the material a flimsy quality, almost like its just there to be ripped off. The chest has a rather disconcerting popping effect as well. Oh, and you can't compare this to comic book outfits lol, thats again, visually things look incredibly different in 2-D as they do in 3-D. Well, until the DC pencilers start drawing like photographs. This creates a huge disparity. I don't think the bright colors is an issue at all. Just like all things though, its effect can aid an overall product. Real life vs paper again. Colors can aid realism, but then again they don't need to be bright. Just depends. "OK - I agree with your here.
Hilariously awful. Cheap plastic looking tiara, eagle, and belt. Shiny cheap plastic looking everything really. And latex pants? Jesus... How can you take a character seriously when they look like this? And to the people who think this looks decent (let alone good), are you out of your mind? Every single aspect of this costume is bad.
Why not just get rid of all the cheap plastic bullcrap, No stupid looking tiara. Have a red fabric(NOT SHINY) looking top with the eagle embroidered in gold thread, not a weird plastic thing sewn on. Have a WW logo BELT BUCKLE(instead of a bad plastic belt), and have her wear BLUE JEANS (not skintight latex!) and RED BOOTS(that are not high heels). It would look 1000000% better than this trash and be way more modern and mainstream looking than this bad cosplay/porn costume.
I rather her be in a Smallvile version of her outfit. I mean I know people hate those outfits but there more realistic, Christopher Reeves never looked epic in the superman movies. Spiderman was cool because he didn't have th cape and outside underwear and he kind of needed the flexibility of that outfit.
LOL! How can anyone have an issue with this look? Haven't we all learned since having to swallow the trash that is Smallville that the TV producers will NEVER, EVER do what the public wants or expects?
This is as good as it gets folks. I agree she's much too shiny and the boots/pants combo is kinda clumsy looking. They could have done something much sleeker in that area.
I would have gone for shiny in the gold areas and then matte in the others.
I doubt she could move athletically in that vinyl, but I could be wrong.
" Have a red fabric(NOT SHINY) looking top with the eagle embroidered in gold thread, not a weird plastic thing sewn on.

When I saw the outfit I thought: "It isn't the original, but it could have been worse! At least they didn't put her in jeans and a t-shirt!". Basically the opposite of your thoughts on the subject.
I had basically given up on the show. From what I read about it, it sounded to me like they were throwing the book completely out the window. Frankly, I totally expected to see her in Jeans and a t-shirt. This picture gives me a bit of hope actually. Not everything has to be Dark Knight level of seriousness.
