First of all, get your facts straight. There is NOTHING silly or 'goofy' about Wonder Woman's origin, story, or concept behind her. She's a Warrior. If you go by the Lynda Carter stuff, then YEAH, that was silly. But that was about as much Wonder Woman from the comic, as Halle Barry was Catwoman from the comics. It was watered down at best. Granted, Lynda looked LOVELY as WW, but the live action 70's show was just goofy. Wonder Woman's story is that of a TRUE warrior. Not just some bimbo dressed in a skimpy outfit. She's very much someone who kills when she needs to (As happened to Maxwell Lord in the comic, she broke his neck on purpose) And her strength rivals that of Superman. She has fought the ENTIRE Justice League (22 members at the SAME TIME) and stomped them all. She is the only 'hero' to have nearly KILLED Superman when he was under mind control and taking out the JLA right and left. Only Wonder Woman was able to stop him. So, in conclusion, perhaps you should actually DO your research about a character's origin, and background before you start calling them goofy, silly, ridiculous, etc. She's one of the most iconic figures in comics, and LYNDA did not do that to her. She was an iconic figure long before the lovely Lynda Carter put on the WW outfit.

I don't consider it as shorts. They are more shorts then shorts. We can call it underpants they are so small. Only wonder girl in comics can wear it. But the costume doesn't fit in reality. <a href="http://www.womenspantssuits.com/evening-formal-pants-suits.html">formal pant suits</a>
-
Pretty sure Wonder Woman didn't have implants. Really? Out of all the actors and want-to-be actors, they couldn't find one that naturally fit into the cups? This is pathetic, worse than Val Kilmer/George Clooney Batman movies.
-
Birds of Prey were utterly crap. Less said about it , the better.
-
tits are everything... and ass. Lynda Carter definitely have them in spades.
-
Togs, togs, togs, togs, UNDIES. Undiesundiesundiesundiesundies.
-
Tits aren't everything.
-
So if this show had been made, I take it they'd have made the "ability to not fall out of her top every time she moves" one of WW's official powers?
-
As someone stated above, her boobs are most likely natural, and this is just what happens to boobs when you wear a corset or bustier that shoves them up. Especially if it's a hard plasticky bustier like that one looks like. :P
-
I think it's time we start heckling Rob for a TR contest involving "Nerd News From the Alternate Fringe Dimension". First on my list would be what happens if this Wonder Woman show was made and aired...and was actually successful. XD
-
You know what's sad? The costume here is still twenty to a hundred times better than the costumes for Birds of Prey and Smallville. You know, if they ever had costumes at all on those shows.
-
Oh no no no. There was nothing subconscious about his projections. The guy was very aware of his interest in bondage and gender politics. Whether or not his editor was aware of it, that's what I'm not sure of.
-
The view from the other side must be amazing
-
I can't help but think about the enormous, embarrassing wedgies she'd suffer after every action scene.
-
She has the weirdest and fakest looking bolt on boob job I've seen in quite a while.
-
You're right. Is she supposed to be a WWE champion as well as being a superhero, CEO and her own secretary?
-
I totally agree that this does look like a "Sexy Wonder Woman" halloween costume. But if this is the look they were going for, they should have hired a more attactive, more muscular woman. WW is supposed to be able to outsmart villians, and dropkick a quarterback 100 yards... Sorry, to me, this woman looks more like somebody from a theme park show(Like one of the many arnold/terminators from the Terminator shows) or one of the booth babes from a comic book convention.
-
Unfortunately, every time someone tries to change WW, the hardcore fans call foul. Usually, i disagree, but in the case of the TV show... i think they were right. About the story changes, not the costume. I use to say that the comic's WW (or atleast her costume) couldn't be taken seriously unless they did make changes. And then I saw Thor. Now I'm thinking that focusing on the original story will be the best thing for the lady.
-
Eh, this could've worked... had this pilot's premise sounded like it was actually worth a shit.
-
This was a horrible idea from the get-go. I swear, I think D.E.K. produced it just to maintain the rights or whatever.
-
Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, I suppose :)
-
Maybe he was auditioning for the role of AMAZO...
-
i like it.. I would have liked to have seen the show, as awful as the concept maybe. Her boobs looks terribly uncomfortable smooshed into that bustier... also, I hope someone photoshops frosty mcnosmile out of the picture, because I'd like to save it, but I really don't want to stare at his "I am disappoint" mug
-
If they had switched the giant belt with the tiny tiara the costume would work better.
-
In fairness, lighting changes a lot of that. Thor's armor looked utterly plastic in early promo shots. Whether a David E. Kelly WonderMcBeal show would fix it with lighting, on the other hand, is a whole other question.
-
Wow, "underneat"--talk about a slip there... {rimshot!}
-
The pilot episode of the Lynda Carter series lampshaded this: she starts off in a skirt, wearing the tights underneat, as the Queen says something about how the skirt is indestructible but there are tights underneath in case she-- --Diana is whipping that skirt off before the Queen Mum can even finish the sentence. Skirt: never seen again, abandoned in the Bermuda Triangle. {g} (I'm pretty sure I recall correctly that even when she shows up in formal cape-wear, she's still wearing the tights, not the skirt. She changes into various outfits during the run of the show, including full-legged suits for some activities like deep-diving. But the star-spangled skirt never returns.)
-
Rule Thirty-Something, wasn't it?
-
Meaning that we are now officially looking at the closest we will probably ever see to a Wonder Woman / God of War team-up. Weep now.
-
No, not at all. But he overbitched this time.
-
Problem here is 1) Too low-cut top and 2) No muscle mass at all :( Wondie needs to look like she can kick ass as well as pole dance, yanno?
-
LOL Boobpedia! I think I've discovered why the internet was invented :P
-
It makes so much sense that the same guy played all of those characters! What an awesomely creepy dude; kinda like Maynard James Keenan meets Lex Luthor. He's got villain written all over him.
-
Me and Boobpedia beg to differ Lynda Carter : <b>37D-23-37</b> Adrianne Palicki : 34B-25-34
-
He was probably imagining he was at a baseball game or somethin' whilst trying his best not to permanenntly adopt a boner-suppressant grimace in every photo taken.
-
I still think the major problem is the execution, not the concept. As a concept, the costume is pretty true to what WW's duds SHOULD look like...but the execution, in terms of fabric and fit, is just so bad. Way too shiny, too tight in some places. The WW costume is supposed to be partially armor; this looks like a bathing suit. A really uncomfortable bathing suit.
-
I didn't get the hate for this costume but those things are RIDICULOUS.
-
The pants made her look like someone who sucks at cosplaying as Wonder Woman. To be honest, she looked more ridiculous with the pants. I think people really need to stop taking comic book characters so seriously. The more you try to rationalize them and make them more realistic, the stupider they begin to look. At least with this costume, she looks like a superhero, she looks more believable, and more iconic. The other one was just...off.
-
He is truly creepy.
-
She fills that suit better than Lynda ever did, sorry. We're missing out without that show.
-
Star Spangled Bloomers?
-
If it was clearly a serious show, then I would agree, but considering the junky David E Kelly crap that this show was going to be, a costume like this would be the only thing it had going for it.
-
"Rob stop bitching!" You're new to the site, aren't you? Bitching is what Rob does best and that's why we love him!
-
Well, I like this better than the other one, just because it's more accurate and I'm a leg man, but I agree with Rob. It just looks like it's made out of a cheap material like a costume. The Lynda Carter one looked more believable as something a superhero would put on.
-
Yeaaaaahhh, if you need a bikini wax to wear it, it's not shorts. Period.
-
Dude, I'm smiling from simply being this close to the PHOTO! (*^_^*)
-
0_o! Are we looking at the same picture here?
-
damn, i'll bet that looks nice going away. horrible, yet sexy, outfit.
-
The fun part would be watching as the writers come up with a new excuse each week for her to tear off her pants: It'd start out as blatant fanservice, but after a while, if done right, it could become a beloved in-joke on the level of Kenny's deaths on South ParkXD
-
I gotta agree with Rob: The costume's super hot, Miss Palicki looks great in it, but I'm incapable of taking her seriously as a superhero in this outfit--unless her superpower is getting con-goers to shell out five bucks to have a Polaroid taken with her. I like WW, and I'm in no way saying a sexy superheroine cannot be taken seriously, just not in this costume, on a TV show, in 2011. Hell, that whole short-jacketed comics ensemble that got everyone's knickers in a twist a few moths back would be an improvement.
-
Which is ironic, seeing as this outfit is the one of the most comics-accurate costume Hollywood has ever seen.
-
That's not the "classic" Wonder woman costume. That's what happens when wonder Woman "hilariously" gets her pants caught in a car door and then runs off without realizing it.
-
Dude, when you are standing next to a woman who looks like that and is dressed like that, you SMILE!
-
Rob: {{these things are firmly on the side of underpants.}} Firmly. Very very firmly.
-
No. No no no no no. No. Just no. Costume, yes. (All three costumes were okay enough.) Show's concept? No. Not worth even that costume.
-
Teeny, teeny shorts, and still no ass in sight. >_>
-
Thank You NBC for sparing us. I want my superheros looking like superheros If I want to look at someone that looks like a porn actress I would watch the Spice channel or buy the Justice League XXX movie.
-
I hope she gets to take that costume home with her.
-
That's Joe Gatt (one of the Frost Giants in Thor & Kratos from God of War). He was Elizabeth Hurley's right-hand thug in the show. And I can attest that he never smiles in photos. Ever. Because he hates you. :)
-
Usually the STUNT DOUBLE is the ugly one... damn. Kinda happy they killed this if that's the butterface we would have gotten...
-
If they'd show her in that outfit,an obvious homage to Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman,and not that vinyl jumpsuit dealie,there might have been more positive fan feedback,and it could have gone on to the pilot stage and be shown for a few weeks in the fall.
-
According to Boobpedia that's all her just push up kinda weird by that bustier. http://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Adrianne_Palicki
-
If you are really a fan of Wonder Woman you should show your appreciation. This way the world's most popular super heroine might get some respect. http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/fight4wonderwoman
-
It's pretty well documented that William Moulton Marston actually designed Wonder Woman to involve many of his Bondage/Sado-masochism fantasies anyway. An actual Wikipedia quote : "<i>"Give them an alluring woman stronger than themselves to submit to, and they'll be proud to become her willing slaves!</i>"
-
Is this the Hills Have Eyes/Wonder Woman crossover that the fans have long been clamoring for?
-
Perhaps it'd be best for Wonder Woman to wear the pants, but have those panties underneath. This would work best in a scene where she has to take off the pants (to make a bandage for an injured person or something) and then have a reason to be walking around in her starry under pants.
-
Va-va-voom! I would have watched the shit out of this if this was the only outfit she wore on the show!
-
Maybe he's in such a sour mood because he's just realized that after working so hard to get ahead in life, he's working on an awful pilot for a silly Wonder Woman show. If that's the case he's not gay so much as a bitter miserable guy... who seems a bit gay.
-
GARTOG the android does not smile, he watches humanity and disproves.
-
You also need to find the edit button :D
-
*have to* chafe like mad. I need to start sleeping more than three hours.
-
Those just look sweaty and uncomfortable and has to chafe like mad.
-
I would have watched this with the sound off.
-
they guy next to Adrien looks really uphapppy over the shorts.but given how hard wonder woman has it being understood by some no doubt the tv show would proably have wound up more of wonder woman trying to be a walking s&m tease and campy. but one will never know since the show did not take.
-
The best is too bulky to work there. But it doesn't look that bad honestly
-
Props to the creepy man from the future for not hover-handing Wonder Woman. Well played, Future Creep.
-
...giggidy. XD
-
I'm kinda surprised that people are complaining about that costume! Just think! We could have been looking at that every week! I'm going to cry!
-
Also, being that the case, her plastic tits don´t help at all.
-
Rob stop bitching! The girls wants to go around in panties, so let her be.
-
Why is she posing with Lex Luthor?
-
Agreed, I really hope they took that picture before he knew what was going on. YOU ARE STANDING NEXT TO WONDER WOMAN. SMILE MAN
-
This is neither the Wonder Woman we need nor the Wonder Woman we deserve.
-
I thought they were doing a Harry Potter cross promotion.... I applaud your 80's reference though :D
-
Is that the lead singer for Midnight Oil?
-
Thank you! I was thinking almost the exactly same thing. Granted my thought process didn't involve urinating in a bowl of breakfast cereal, but I admire your vision.
-
Yeah it looks like it would jab her in the gut if she were to bend over or,,,what was I saying again oh yeah the belt,it is a little clunky.
-
That horrible belt throws off the whole ensemble.
-
I suddenly care about this show now. I'll be starting a campaign to bring back this show that never was.
-
Like across the crotch, which I approve of.
-
It just looks like the costume doesn't fit right... like it's stretched in some places.
-
Is that guy gay? He has a clear shot less than a foot away and he's looking like he just watched somebody pee in his cornflakes,and is still none to pleased because he left his lunch money on the dresser ,and that is all he had buy foodstuff with all day.
-
I don't care how bad it turned out, but I would watch every week for that outfit thank-you-very-much.
-
Those are way too tiny for all the crap hanging off the bustier.
-
I know Wonder Woman started out from the S&M subconcious projections of the guy who created the character,but the Lynda Carter's silk and glitter costumes seemed more authentic. You're right Rob, this latex version does look more like a "sexy Wonder Woman" costume than a heroic choice of garb.
