Take a Peek at New TV Wonder Woman's Boobalicious Duds

[Sephychu]

Egh, too much blue there.
We shall see.

 

[CrashBang]

Apparently the red and blue didn't shout AMERICA! loud enough, they had to add the eagle to make sure you get it.

If this has already been pointed out, I apologize, but golden age Wonder Woman originally had the golden eagle on her cheat rather than the 'W' so, in that respect, this is a more traditional costume (apart from the retarded spandex)

 

[For.I.Am.Mad]

At least she looks like WW. But, damn, why does the costume look so cheap?

 

[ciotog]

it's a little shiny don't you think?

Apology accepted good person, for you are the third to point this out. I know next to nothing about Wonder Woman, especially not about the various costumes she's worn throughout the years. My judgement was based on the tone of the article which implied the eagle was a recent addition rather than one harking back to originality.

I was also rather spectacularly sauced at the time and was looking for a lively debate.

I will edit my first post though, put in this explanation. Recieving a quote notice is always exciting, to have it turn out to be someone correcting you is much less so; even a correction as diplomatic as your own.

I couldn't agree more. I like you =] and your avatar kicks ass. I've been tempted to get a tattoo of the Watchmen logo for quite some time

I think the reflectivity makes it ugly. Cloths that are highly reflective just seem so odd and strange. If it were more of a flat color then I think it'd look better. Either way Wonder Woman's outfit has always been a little goddy but that's fine since she's not running around going "I'm batman" and striking terror into the hearts of criminals.

Sigh...opportunity = missed.

 

[K_Dub]

*Sigh*

I was pretty excited about the idea of a Wonder Woman show. I like her. She's a cool character. But looking at this costume, and the show being described as '"slightly goofy comedy-drama ... packed with Girl Power pop-songs,"' REALLY pisses me off. I'm expecting little to no entertainment value from this show.

 

[TehMagster]

This costume looks like something you buy for $30 around halloween at one of the numerous seasonal costume stores =_= I have seen the same costume with slight rendering (darker blue pants, red boots, no heels) and they look fantastic but this one is...meh.

I really love the Wonder Woman character in general, but I have a bad feeling that the show is going to be terrible, especially if they can't even make the costume look semi-decent. I suppose we'll just have to wait for the pilot episode then?

 

[Ghengis John]

I for one intend to watch every episode. Before it is canceled. All six of them. It looks like somebody has a fondness for the 60's batman. Which never ends well. Also the girl's cute, I wish her career the best of luck.

 

[GotMalkAvian]

Uh, Watchmen, Sandman, (ah, let's cut to the chase the entire Vertigo imprint...

DC's published a lot of good material over the years. Blame WB for the shitty adaptations.

Oh, agreed. Most of what I wrote was hyperbole. Vertigo is still awesome, and DC even manages to churn out some good mainstream stuff every now and again.

 

[Gordon_4_v1legacy]

To quote the great Robert Downey Jr.: "Bigger tits". Seriously, did anybody else even see the original show? Lynda Carter's bra would have laughed Adrianne Palacki's spandex right out of the sound stage. I know Hollywood hates them now, but there have to be SOME working actresses who have non-plastic breasts of the appropriate size to play the ol' WW.

While Wonder Woman (like all female comic characters over the age of 15) suffers from big boobs syndrome, her character does not revolve around it....that would be Power Girl, where its played for irony and laughs at almost every turn.

To play Wonder Woman convincingly you gotta be a good actress; and you've got to have presence. I mean no disrespect to Ms. Palacki but it's going to take some real good camera and effects work to make me believe she can use a tank like a cricket bat or battle ancient Greek demons.

Apparently the red and blue didn't shout AMERICA! loud enough, they had to add the eagle to make sure you get it.

As an outsider looking in, America is so hilariously nationalistic. I mean yeah you've got your obvious state sponsored brainwashing with the pledge and all but damn, even your comic characters can't escape.

Anyway, I'll watch the first episodes for s&g's but I'm not exactly expecting The Dark Knight here.

Edited in a followup post, ie the eagle is part of the original costume.

I'm sorry, the way the article was worded made it seem like the eagle was a recent addition rather than one from a choice of options, one of which was the eagle. I apologise for the strong inference of irrational national pride and substitute it for a weak one. Tone down my first sentence to;

Of the options available, they had to choose the eagle that has obvious links to American nationalism.

As for the look of the character, according to the (good?) women of whatever the hell that board was (females on female game characters?) sexy isn't bad my (good?) man.

How often do you notice if a bloke in a game or TV programme is handsome? I'm betting not often, unless it's on your mind for whatever reason (I am assuming you're a hetero male btw). Would it not be likely the assumption that the same could be said of hetero female gamers on female characters is true? (assuming there is slightly more to the character than pure sex appeal of course)

It turns out that we geeky men get more fucked off about needlessly sexy female characters, out of a sense of attempted manipulation, than most geeky women do.

Trust me, America is not as patriotic as it needs to be sometimes. Would people who love their country cause such a high rate of crime?

 

[Carlston]

Light hearted?

Oh so a "Buffy" fail clone.

Well women who wanted to see a female strong character... this is what yer getting. I bet she's a cheerleader, will have a hint lesbian love interest (Buffy/Xena) and have a cast of pretty boys and girl teens just like buffy to round out the lack of creativity.

 

[13lackfriday]

Spoiler: I'm glad they finally managed to properly bring the Wonder Woman look into a live-action setting....

as a novelty cosplay skank probably from some seedy street corner in San Diego.

 

[Iron Lightning]

Ow, that costume is way too shiny, it physically hurts me to look at it.

 

[RDubayoo]

Looks like a costume from a pornographic parody. I guess there'll be a scene that'll start off with Wonder Woman tied to some bedposts, and then two shirtless black dudes walk in...

 

[Dragunai]

Wanna open by saying like all the hetero sexual men I came here to see partial nudity and sideboob. I will confess I was disappointed as I was expecting a rack for the ages and got something distinctly more definable as "for the week but little more,"

Moving on ... (and no I dont care if you dont like it)

As a comic book fan I am rather amused by this:

Batman went from the comical "Adam West" era to the less comical more gritty Val kilmer / Michael Keaton era and has finally arrived at the distorted, gritty and dark era of Christian Bale who (despite being a woman abusing douche with a bad ego) has brought it into a very grateful 21st centary.

Iron man 1 and 2 whilst having light hearted tones where both made into awesome, metal backed, action heavy movies that are taken seriously across the world thanks to Mr Downey Juniors part in it.

Thor / Captain America are both set to make so much money between that even Richard Branson is going to be awestruck due the early trailers and photos respectively.

All male heroes.

What do the women get?

That god awful portayal of Cat woman by Halle Berry which went from full body gimpsuit with Ms. Pfeiffer (sp?) which was an acceptable version for the year it surfaced ('92) (see Below)

V1 - http://virginiavirtucon.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/catwoman21.jpg

Into the half a stripper version with Halle Berry in '05, which basically said. Hey we didnt exploit Michelle's boobs in the 1st so lets make a serious Batman villain into a ... heroine... because THAT makes sense... then give her an outfit that barely matches the actual comic and make sure a lot of skin shows through her slashed pants (yes I get it, they are meant to look cat slashed).

V2 - http://filmonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/halle_berry_catwoman_hq_001.jpg


On the upside the 3rd Batman in the new series is set to bring her back as a villain (Rumour says Anne Hathaway... so YAY!) and she is in the full leather gimpsuit again.

The reason I say all this is because Wonder Woman isnt a "Dumbass slutty" character. She is Wonder Woman, a strong powerful alien Princess who fights crime with her lasso of truth (and the only reason I know this is because I am a nerd, haha beat you to it!).

Judging from this she is gonna look more like a hooker with stupid one liners that will only amuse the thickest of people and most likely the show is only going to be watched by horny teenage boys until they get a girlfriend or go back to the net to deal with their sinful thoughts.

Not angry, just saying that this is a joke and not even a funny one.

Peace out
