I bet this will be soulless. I know what Marie means. I look at that girl and I can hear a squeaky voice spouting inane dialogue. And "not camp"? So they mean generic boring and taking itself too serious. Comics are inherently camp!

The outfit is too...shiny.  It just doesn't look right, even for a superhero costume.  It looks too..plastic I guess.

That's why I love Flash Gordon so much ;D
The best comic book superhero adaptation ever made followed by the first season of Buck Rogers. I know, they aren't really superhero and are more newpaper comic strip...

I hope the shininess is only in this promotional picture. I like the new outfit otherwise. If it looks on air more like in the picture that Karsten posted, then it would be great.


I'm not sure what I think of the new outfit..and that actress.. Something just doesn't look right about her as Wonder Woman.  Maybe she's a bit too thin to be believable as a woman as powerful as Wonder Woman.  I'm not sure what it is.  
I think she looks okay. As much as I love Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman, I always thought her waist was too small. It looks too unnaturally thin because of the corset. It looks better in the new one. But please loose the glaring red lipstick.


The perfect new Wonder Woman in my opinion would have been Terry Farrell of about ten years ago.

I hope that (if the series gets picked up), Lynda Carter gets a guest role. Preferrably as Wonder Woman's mother, the queen (if something like her exists in the new incarnation).

That would be cool if Lynda Carter would be in it as her mother.

Not only that I don't care much about Wonder Woman to begin with, but this is also helmed by David E. Kelly (seriously?) of all people and reviews of the leaked pilot script have been devastating.

One of many as an example:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2011-02-02/wonder-woman-a-sneak-peak-at-david-e-kelleys-script/

I look at that girl and I can hear a squeaky voice spouting inane dialogue.

Adrianne Palicki was supposedly great in Friday Night Lights - never seen that show, though.

Looks like they changed their mind on the Wonder Woman costume. With the darker pants, red boots and stars down the legs of the pants...



I think this is an improvement. I like that we got an action shot this time... but I would still like to see the actress replaced.

All my critique points have been addressed: Darker pants, red boots and no red lipstick. No I would like to see a picture where she doesn't make this stupid face :laugh:
I am still looking forward to it. I hope it will not be a big disappointment.

I am hoping... but find it doubtful for some reason.

So am I. :( She looks like an athlete doing a fun run. Lynda Carter... she had something special.

Actually the point has been proved. ;) This guy is very annoying, but he talks about the reaction to WW in the first minute and shows a brief collection of Photoshopped alternatives which are all better!

I agree with you both... I found him amusing at first... but he quickly became annoying to me. :P

While I understand what you are saying... I do think there are better choices out there. For example... I would like to see Eliza Dushku in the outfit. I won't say anyone has the right look without seeing them in the outfit though.

Well that outfit is better.  Still not sure about her in the part.  But I'll be optimistic and hope for something good.
