It was never going to translate well and be the same outfit- superhero costumes never do. A little work, red boots (without high heels) and less plastic look and it could work.

Re: Wonder Woman's outfit for the NBC's upcoming show.
The design of the suit isn't bad and is recognizably Wonder Woman. That said, the shininess and the materials used are terrible. It looks like a bondage suit, or a cheap plastic Halloween costume.
The show's probably going to be terrible. Reviews of the first draft of the script and as well as an actress's audition tape (where she reads a scene from that same script) were leaked about a month ago.
Overall it looks like a goofy bastardization with the character being altered into some kind of Ally MacBeal imitation. This WW will work in a corporation that makes money selling big breasted dolls of herself, dance and sing to pop songs, have ice cream sleepovers with her BFF, and cry herself to sleep at night over Steve Trevor (who has dumped her according to the backstory). I'm predicting that it will flop as hard as The Cape.

Oh, God, it is atrocious.

Re: Wonder Woman's outfit for the NBC's upcoming show.
OK, this is more like it. At least she’ll look good in her civilian persona.
Oh, and by the way Bug-Eyed Earl, after seeing these photos I'm beginning to think you're totally right about the breasts thing. I still think the costume they eventually settle in shouldn’t draw too much attention to the fact though.

Well, as a fan of Greg Rucka's run, I'm kinda hoping they don't fuck up Veronica Cale.

Looks like they toned down the shinny a bit. And the boots are now red.

Re: Wonder Woman's outfit for the NBC's upcoming show.
Better but they should also tone down the plastic look of her top. Plus her belt screams "I'm made of cheap plastic!"
Funny enough, in the first pic looks like an action figure.

ToplessRobot
They changed the costume due to Internet Bitching, picture is available on Topless Robot.
Among the changes:
* Fixed the boots, they are now red, and are normal boots, not high heels
* NO MORE PVC PANTS - they appear to be more satin-type material, and the gold stars are more visible I find.
Overall, they fixed my only real complaints from the previous costume

Re: Wonder Woman's outfit for the NBC's upcoming show.
This silences my bitching about the heels and the fact that her wondies are plastic. I wonder if they're still going with the evil pharmaceutical company plot, though.

Re: Wonder Woman's outfit for the NBC's upcoming show.
Well, it's what Greg Rucka did during his run in the early 2000's. Granted the company itself wasn't evil -- just Veronica Cale -- so we'll see how it goes.Panzersharkcat wrote:This silences my bitching about the heels and the fact that her wondies are plastic.

I rather liked the character of Veronica Cale, but she only works as a female Lex Luthor who is jealous of Wonder Woman, not as some sort of poisoner of everybody.

Re: Wonder Woman's outfit for the NBC's upcoming show.
Their take of Veronica Cale is symptomatic of how they just don't get the core concept of Wonder Woman. To me, Wonder Woman can be described as a simple X meets Y scenario.
The West Wing meets Ray Harryhausen.
With the entire scenario they've proposed, it's quite apparent that they had an original superheroine storyline in the works and slapped the Wonder Woman name on it for recognition.
Because it's not like there's been any recent super hero tv shows that didn't use established super heroes, right?

Re: Wonder Woman's outfit for the NBC's upcoming show.
There have been two recent shows that use original superheroes.
One of them bombed completely (The Cape), and it's final episode won't even be shown on television. Not exactly encouraging results.
