1) They fixed her boots! They're now red, as requested by everyone ever.
2) The colors, at least on the pants, are more muted.
3) Additionally, the pants are now not made out of latex, and thus aren't horrifically shiny.
4) She's not wearing high heels, but more reasonable boots.
5) She isn't wearing bright red lipstick, either.
6) The stars down the side of the pants aren't a difference per se, but they are much more visible now.
7) Goddamn, I can't believe they fixed her boots.
Overall, the outfit somehow looks cheaper and more Halloween-ish than the first one did to me, but I still think overall it's a significant improvement. More importantly, it appears someone actually listened to us. That's insane. Do... do they actually care what we, the audience, thinks? Madness! Thanks to Matt P. for the tip.

Wonder Woman was great because not just only the actress but the costume so characteristic and unique, ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? with this new look?, besides the new actress is pretty but looks RUDE not sweet and strong/smart as Linda Carter. Not making me want to watch this new show. Just look at Batman or Superman, even spiderman, they stud to their original looks. Come on producers it is a cheap copy of our great comic characte
-
Pants are now spandex, not latex. Latex is as, if not more shiny, than the vinyl/PVC from the original photographs.
-
That's exactly what happened to Silk Spectre in Watchmen. Heals when posing as sexy tarted up super-hero; prison fight - heals are gone. Maybe they were raised and lowered by a special button on her utility-belt.

that looks awful. WW isn't terribly cute either. they need circa 1994 jennifer connelly to play WW. THAT would be amazing. hell, i'd like to see her today...she'd just have to put a little weight back on- she's gotten so damn skinny ever since she became a serious actress (except in beautiful mind and house of sand and fog. she was gorgeous in those.)
-
It's the fabric they used for her top. It looks exactly like the cheesy shiny plastic fabric they use for Halloween costumes, and the way it's bunched up as she runs, it looks like they didn't even bother to add boning for structure, thus making it look even cheaper. If they step up their costuming game to make her top look less cheesy, I'll be a happy camper.
-
Totally. This is about 4% as sexy as the original costume, whether it's "comic book accurate" or not. It's lost almost all its sex appeal...sorry, red lipstick and heels are sexy whether you're willing to admit it or not. She looks like Danny McBride with that expression. Meh.
-
Not anymore. I turned my back on that life.
-
costume improvements=great everyone dissing her face=confusing (to say the least) Sure, she's making an intense face, but she is still beautiful. I mean, should she have a Cover Girl smile while she's chasing bad guys? It would be one thing if her face was all contorted, like that Gary Busey mug shot, but she just looks pissed. Hardly an "orc". Actually, there are quite a few men out there who pay dominatrixes a lot of money to look at them that same way. Nevermind the fact that most of the people who have a problem with her face in this shot are probably not attractive even when they are making their prettiest expression. Damn, comment sections turn people into assholes.
-
Ok, my 2 cents: 1) The outfit is much nicer this time around, although i was one of the apparently few who never had a problem with the pantsless look. Ah well, cest la vie. 2)I agree with with plenty of others who have said that she look TOO FREAKING YOUNG! This pic doesn´t look like Diana Prince to the rescue as much as it looks like a teenage stripper running late to the nerd bourlesque show.
-
Yay, they fixed her boots! The costume is still an embarassing failure of creativity, but at least now the boots match. *Whew* Now that they've handled the concerns of all homosexual fans out there, maybe they'll fix the problems us straight fans have with it, which is everything else. I'm willing to bet money this never makes it to air. Seriously.
-
I like my boobs just fine thank you. Think she's beautiful and all...but I think hers would be a downgrade.
-
would WW's boots really sag like that? the term is chintzy.
-
oh, rick, back in 2000/2001 I wrote at least three possibly four twincests. it's far, far too late.
-
"If they do, they're $500/hr minimum, and unlikely to be cruising a random street." You have unusually specific information on these matters, is there a story you'd like to share?
-
Wonder Woman's bracelets were never gold.. they were originally colored blue, but have been silver since the late 80's.. so they're actually right.
-
She's making a face like she's really trying to poo when she runs.
-
depends. are you still doing that Thunder Kittens Twincest story? -hand poised over nuclear button-
-
*Fangirl squeel*
-
Yes the lasso needs fixing but even more so those bracelets are also not gold for some reason. Hopefully this will get fixed.
-
Off with the pants! Bring the underwear BACK!!
-
Improvement? Yes. Iconic costume? No, thats all that matters to me. I'm getting tired with so many costumes being changed for no real valid reason. Hercules goes around in a ancient greek toga for crying out loud. Whats going to happen when they make his movie? Jeans and a Tee? Bah. I find it hilarious that they consider the costume everyone thinks of when someone mentions wonder woman as not politically correct or inappropriate when a single Saturday night you can see droves of women wearing less, in some cases much less voluntarily. It actually reminds me of that justice league episode with the guy saying the same things about the costume with wonder woman responding with "AND whats wrong with the way I dress?!"
-
You know, you're right. I was remembering her from this. http://www.whedon.info/Sarah-Michelle-Gellar-MTV-Movie,13701.html Still, I've seen a lot of actress throw on the costume (SMG, Tea Leoni, Per Gilpin) and Lynda Carter did action scenes in her costume all the time.
-
Don't get too excited that they may be listening to the fans. I mean, they are still filming this and who wants that?
-
Is anyone else getting a kind of union civil war uniform vibe from the pants? The material and coloration just make me think of that...
-
Running boobs.
-
You do know this is a comedy type deal, don't you? The original show was campy but this NBC were talking about and the fucktard from Ally McBeal. A travesty continues in the making. It just may have enough sitcom humor to keep it around for another season. Fucktard McBeal also had Boston Public and it lasted several seasons. Blunder Woman could be the next Heroes. Yeah, I'm reaching I know..but its possible.
-
Personally I like Steampunk Wonder Woman better. http://www.geekologie.com/2011/03/steampunk_wonder_woman_lasso_o.php
-
Please tell me this show is gonna be camp? It has to be camp...No way this isn't camp...Not a bad thing mind you, but there's no effin way (based on this photo alone) that the show won't be camp...I'm cool, I liked Lois & Clark's first few seasons, so I can deal, however I can't imagine this will be shown thru a serious prism...
-
Funny you mention the Knight Rider reboot... since they cast the guy from that as Steve
-
Did any of them do a whole bunch of action/fight scenes wearing that costume? And, I don't remember anyone wearing a WW outfit on Buffy. What episode and which character, I'd love to check it out.
-
I still think the red top is a bit too shiny... but... muuuuuch better. Now let's see if that fixed anything in that abysmal script!
-
I completely agree!! But knowing how networks are, they are going to completely ruin it and not give it any substance. I guess they aren't coming from a mind set of a radical feminist that her creator was. I love Wonder Woman. I love her mythos and most of her incarnations have not lived up to it and it is annoying. What has come close aside from the JL series would be the Wonder Woman animated movie that DC did back in 2009.
-
I enjoy how she's running with her hands. Aerodynamic! Thinking this Wonder Woman thing is gonna turn out like the Knight Rider reboot.
-
...oh, and her hips...she needs some damn hips!!
-
Pretty girl but she's gotta lay off the NOASSATALLS.
-
Now all they need to do is fix her effin mug. Look at that face, not like any wonder woman I've ever seen.
-
I think it was really smart of them to release photos of her into the wild, just to check the fanboy reaction. If I were doing an interpretation of a beloved franchise, I'd put early sketches out there and adjust according to the reactions of my built-in fanbase.
-
and once again I read boobs and not boots
-
...a transvestite? Really? Have you ever actually SEEN a transvestite? They don't look that good. If they do, they're $500/hr minimum, and unlikely to be cruising a random street.
-
Ah-hah! When she smiles, she's Womder Woman! Excellent, thanks for this link.
-
We "want things done right"? As in...what color her boots are? What material her pants are? I feel like we're nit-picking pretty hard right now. Maybe if we were talking about Batman, I would care. I don't know. Personally, I only care if this show has any SUBSTANCE and can prove to me that Wonder Woman's character isn't a completely hopeless, terrible mess. I honestly want to give a shit about Wonder Woman, because her background and powers seem kind of interesting to me, but none of her incarnations have made me anything other than irritated (other than a few episodes of Justice League unlimited in which she wasn't being bland).
-
Thank you so much. There are over 79 set pictures that really give you a feel for the pilot episode. There's also a short video clip from the set. I think after looking through it all it looks pretty good for a TV budget series. I am extremely excited to watch it. She's a very attractive young woman. Also, being the pilot I'm sure she's just going to show up and do all kind of crazy superhero things until the show settles down into formulaic mode. If it's like Lois and Clark, but updated I would enjoy the hell out of it.
-
Oh, snap.
-
I get the initial impression she's someone's younger sister dressing up like Wonder Woman. But knowing a bit about the casting process in general, I'm not surprised. Although the look on her face is more one of "That's my boyfriend walking up ahead with that b****. When I catch up with them, he's DEAD!"
-
Honestly I just think you people won't accept anything. Its a COSTUME. Its not something thats supposed to look normal. I really don't know how more Wonder Woman it can get. Some people want Xena armor but then thats Xena and not Wonder Woman.......bah no one will ever be happy on the internet. Though i think the only thing off is that Wonder Womans hair is usually depicted as curly and not straight but honestly.........you dislike this? Honestly just say you either want slut or you just don't like Wonder Womans actual costume.
-
What is going on here? Why is Wonder Woman a transvestite? I'm super confused. What direction is this show going on?
-
I want those boots. Just worried that those could be the flat boots for running, and then any non-action scene they put her in high-heels..that always pisses me off for some reason...
-
Who looks good while intensely running towards evil-doers?
-
In case the reply button doesn't work, I still want to thank JOE for voicing the problem I didn't know I had. There's a traditional Wonder Woman costume popular culture knows and loves (for whatever you feel about practicality) and this is improved, but not it. Awesome all Day is also correct in that this is probably one of many Wonder Woman costumes we'll see. Sadly, the Linda Carter original will probably remain in the closet.
-
Betcha a pound to a penny that once the movie is released, during the time she isn't seen running those boots have high high heels. Especially for posing.
-
Mea Culpa. My mind always translated them as blue or at least dark gray in the comics I've seen and Linda Carter's were mostly gold.
-
Yeah, the low-cut pants thing is getting ridiculous... Only about 1% of the women who wear them can actually pull it off. Most look like they have absolutely no ass whatsoever.
-
The pants need to be tighter up top. That's what's making it look wierd. Go back to the still pictures and check it out. They dropped her inseam by an inch, at least. As much as it seems to be the unpopular opinion if we can see a cameltoe, or at least a bulge, than this will be fixed (now that the boots are red). Dropping the heels in the name of functionality and realism, and changing the color, is great. But poorly fitted spandex instead of the skirt is what's throwing this whole thing off now.
-
Um. She's running. Take a look at the photos from superherohype: http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/161521-wonder-woman-set-pics-a-video-show-changed-costume Better?
-
That's exactly what I thought. They actually listened! :O The outfit is much more realistic and better looking in my eyes. :D Thank the Gods!
-
And for 50 years, Wonder Woman has almost NEVER been interesting or popular. Now I'm not saying correlation implies causation, but I'd sure be happier with a Xena look, and from how frequently people bring it up it sounds like I'm not the only one.
-
Is that the same chick in the leaked first picture? Cause that girl's face may be good enough to wank off to on a slow wank day, while this face just makes me think of orcs.
-
Next time you post something about Wonder Woman could you just post this picture of Adrianne Palicki: http://s3.amazonaws.com/coolproduction/ckeditor_assets/pictures/673/original/ap.jpg?1297906968
-
overall, yeah, but overall, what do you think overall? overall
-
THat look on her face? She looks like she is late for one of Stewie's Sexy Parties. Hurry Wonder Woman. Don't disappoint like your tv show will.
-
Yes we are!!! But that's because we want things done right. Apart from the boots being the biggest improvement on the costume and muting the color of the pants, it still looks like one of those "sexy" costumes from party city. Maybe if the costume were sexy Snow White...well at least that costume looks better and less cheap. I still wish we had Lucy Lawless to play Wonder Woman!!! One can dream, right?
-
What's funny is this was shot on the stretch of Hollywood Blvd. in front of the Chinese Theater...so, she sort of fits in with the other Wonder Women harassing the tourists...
-
Look, STARS!! Now Fox News will come out, admit that they were wrong, and apologize for the big fuss they made over the supposedly "missing stars" those 'Muslim loving Commies in Hollywood removed to un-Americanize our most beloved heroine...' Of course, Fox never came out and admitted that the stars were there all along, so they'll just pretend they never said it in the first place and move on. Nice improvements on the costume though, I agree, the latex pants were too much, and the blue boots were just horrible. I also really had an issue with the high heels, it sounds stupid, but it ruins your ability to suspend disbelief when chicks are fighting crime in sexy stiletto heels...
-
I'm going to go with: Because they've always been silver. Take it up with her creator.
-
Man, nerds are fickle.
-
I hope she's not!
-
YOU'RE insane if you think "they listened to us". Obviously that was one design among many that was released. They didn't whip up a bunch of last minute costume changes for shooting in less than a week.
-
re: The waist line. I think it is because we are so used to seeing women wearing low-rise pants that we forget that a woman's natural waistline is much higher. People will say she is wearing high-waisted pants but in reality she is just wearing normal pants. Her bodice/corset is exactly where it should be, ending at the top of the hips.
-
Since they have changed the boots I will try to be happy and not nitpick further. That being said, there is still a part of me that is wondering why the gauntlets are silver when the rest of her accents are gold? Is there some post-production trick that necessitates them being a different color than the rest of the accents?
-
WIN
-
1) I think everyone is overstating the actual quality of costumes used in shows. 2) Often multiple versions of the costumes are made, some more detailed for close-ups and others rougher more durable/suitable for action scenes. 3) Costumes nearly always look shitty when photographed on set. I always remind people of this little scene when they complain about on-set photos of costumes and props: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2y7on8WKjY The major thing that bugs me is the odd position of the waistline....its just seems off for some reason.
-
Now that's a definite improvement, I can get behind this wonder woman.
-
Be careful nerds. Anytime hollywood gives us exactly what we want, it's a ratings failure...
-
Wonder Woman has almost NEVER looked like what you are describing. For 50 years, all she had was a stupid yellow W on her chest.
-
Is it just me, or does the top look like something made for someone with body three times smalled than the actress?
-
Ironically the more realistic they try to make her costume the more fake it's going to look because it's based on a comic book character. Since nerds tend to obsess over practicality we sometimes forget practical doesn't equal visually appealing. in b4 "you want her to look like a slut" people, I liked it best in Justice League where she had no idea what was wrong with how she dressed. What was important to her was that she was comfortable.
-
She's power walking to a toilet. Damn those Taco Whiz tacos
-
Well, this certainly looks better. Though quite honestly, aestheticwise, I think the costume is a bit low-cut for my tastes. It just comes across as too much unadorned skin. Honestly, just something across the neck would be fine. Still not a fan of the actress, mind.
-
Wow, the sky won't fall! Can I just point out that we have no idea when that "blue boot" costume was created and pics taken, and have no idea when this new "red boot" costume was created.
-
badumtish!
-
Thank you! I'm glad you brought that up. And several of the actress's looked better than this one. I do agree the red boots with the smaller heel does look better, but I still don't love this outfit. It still looks like a Halloween costume and I think part of the problem is the girl wearing it doesn't look like WW.
-
I had no beef with the look featured on the promo pic - but dear god, this is significantly better!
-
Yes and no. This appears to be a still photo taken during shooting. So the look of the actual broadcast-ready visuals aren't going to be apparent. Also, movie props and costumes tend to look cheap when plainly photographed. It's the Planet Hollywoood effect.
-
Wow, a million times better. The boots and pants are a big improvement! I agree the lasso looks a little odd, but that's a minor complaint compared to how much they fixed.
-
BRAVOOOOO!! RED BOOTS ARE BACK! Them being the same blue as her pants was just insanity. The picture isn't very flattering of the actress though, especially with her hands all karate-chop-like while running.
-
"At huge risk of nerd-dom, why does she look so normal? Like she's dressed up as WW?" That's just... I mean... huh. You're right, that's exactly what she looks like. I don't know if it's the budget or the shots themselves but when pics like this get leaked from, say, the Batman and Spider-Man movies, they LOOK like Batman and Spider-Man. This looks like someone dressed AS Wonder Woman, rather than Wonder Woman herself. Weird. That said, I will definitely be watching this series.
-
As others have said, other than the lasso and possibly the hair, this is a major improvement.
-
Yup. Thats the first thing I noticed too. It looks like thick craft grade packing twine youd buy at some art store like Michaels.
-
No amount of boot colour changes is going to do anything about the fact that Wonder Woman is the absolute last superheroine you'd want to base a TV show on. Whatever happened to the Alias TV show Bendis was planning?
-
Not to beat a dead horse, but I do find it funny that actresses on every other show, (Buffy, Bones, Big Bang Theory) have all dressed up in the traditional WW costume, but on the actual Wonder Woman show, it's considered inapproriate.
-
What we really want her doing is the 'Topless Robot'.
-
Glad it wasn't only me.
-
The pants do look better. I'm thinking that if they would've muted the whole ensemble so that it looked like a uniform and not a costume it would've worked.
-
There are worse crimes that could be committed than looking like Xena.
-
The new Wonder Woman costume from the creators of the 70s TV Spiderman costume and the Greatest American Hero suit.
-
I have a feeling she might have more than one costume.
-
She looks like she's doing that new dance craze, "The Angry Robot".
-
My thoughts exactly. Even if running in high heels was practical, and it's not, it looks ridiculous.
-
That was really my big issue with the original publicity photos. The blue boots didn't look terrible, but the heels seemed like a bad idea. I'm glad they're gone, if only for the sake of the actress and any stunt doubles who'd be stuck running around in them.
