Something Is Terribly Wrong with Wonder Woman's Nose
Posted at 3:04 PM Jul 08, 2008
Now that Batman: Gotham Knight is out, nerds are able to also see the preview for DC's next direct-to-DVD cartoon, starring Wonder Woman. As soon as the trailer gets uploaded, I promise I'll post it, but for now, we'll have to settle with this promotional image courtesy of TV Guide (who has the exclusive, despite it not being on TV, nor being planned to air on TV. Weird). Still, it's worthy of discussion—not for her partially exposed ass-cheeks, which I believe have been standard for a while now—but for her nose, and how it seems to be fused to her forehead. Why? Are they going for for an ancient Greek art-pottery-type of thing? If so, don't they realize that wearing a Stars n' Stripes-themed unitard negates any kind of throwbacks to ancient Greek art you could possibly throw in?
Anyways, TV Guide also has the voice cast—Felicity's Keri Russell as Wonder Woman, Nathan Fillion as Steve Trevor, Virginia Madsen as Queen Hippolyta, Rosario Dawson as Artemis, and Alfred Molina as Ares.

She's got INS: Isis Nose Syndrome.
Posted 07/08/2008 at 12:15:54 PMI like her ethnic Greek nose. It makes perfect sense. Her Greek mother sculpted a little Greek child out of clay which was brought to life by a Greek goddess. Who cares how many stars and stripes she's dressed up in...SHE'S STILL GREEK!

and you KNOW what they say about the Greeks.... ;)

(no offense to either of them, merely an observation :p)
No, but in all seriousness I actually quite like the look.
Posted 07/08/2008 at 12:54:09 PMIt's almost like they tried to give her a Barry Windsor Smith-style nose.
Posted 07/08/2008 at 12:55:11 PMYou know, I don't really have a problem with her nose—she does indeed look like a badass. But I have never, ever understood WW's outfit. I have zero idea why a Greek goddess/amazon would dress in star-spangled underpants. And I guess I'm griping that her inexplicable outfit negates every other attempt to give her some kind of "reality." Anyone got any answers for me?
Posted 07/08/2008 at 01:08:41 PMWonder Woman adopted the stars when she fell for Steve Trevor back in WWII. I guess she just really liked the ethos of America, even if it was Man's World. Or at least she liked the aesthetics.
Posted 07/08/2008 at 01:22:46 PMShe probably just does it to piss off Captain America ever since that awkward cocktail party.
Captain America: Hey Wonder Woma.... oh.
Posted 07/08/2008 at 01:55:57 PMWonder Woman: ...
CA: ...
WW: ...
CA: Well one of us is going to have to change.
WW: It's not going to be me you self-absorbed patriarchal prat!
CA: Oh that's classy. Real classy, Wonder Woman! I'm the goddammed defender of the Free World!
WW: ...
CA: ... I need a drink.
The thing that concerns me the most is... that's not a very orginized way to carry your lasso around. I mean if she wear just about to use it, it would probably tangle all up. Maybe someone in the movie shows her the method of making a loop around your elbow to your hand over and over, and in this promo shot she just hasn't learned it yet.
And no, I don't have OCD.
Posted 07/08/2008 at 04:53:30 PMI think she's very pretty, actually. That's a style you don't see a lot of, I think it came out really well! But we won't know for sure until we see the film in action, though ^_^
Posted 07/08/2008 at 05:27:15 PMwonder woman looks like a wonder man.
Posted 07/08/2008 at 05:59:07 PMAm I the only one intrigued by the fact that she doesn't seem to have a butt crack?
Posted 07/09/2008 at 06:05:24 AMI think she kinds of looks like Claudia Black or rather, Aeryn Sun of Farscape infamy.
I dig it, and will more than likely snap up the DVD upon release.
Posted 07/09/2008 at 08:56:29 AMI was watching VH1 last night at 4am and a video for a new Sara Bareilles song came on. And my first thought was. Holy SHIT she looks just like the new cartoon Wonder Woman! Just with smaller boobs.
Posted 07/09/2008 at 01:23:30 PMKeri Russell and Nathan Fillion reuniting! Awesome. They were adorable in "Waitress", and Fillion deserves to be a bigger star than he currently is at the moment.
Posted 07/12/2008 at 10:28:29 PMThey might as well change the costume because it makes no sense to begin with. The nose is hot, by the way.
Posted 07/20/2008 at 03:54:07 AMShe looks a bit like a lanky dude:
Long face, strong nose, jawline concealed by hair.
Waistline also concealed by hair and arm.
Magic skin-tight one-piece ERASES all trace of an ass.
Result: double-take to determine gender.
It it weren't for the center-stage OMGBOOB, I totally would have guessed male.
And on that topic, if we're going display said ta-ta so explicitly, why such a junkless trunk?
