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

Did you just say "Boobalicious"?
This doesn't look very promising, not that I'd watch it anyways. Not that I'm calling it bad, just not really my tastes.

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;Neverhoodian said:You do know that Wonder Woman got her start during World War II, right?
Also, Batman is an American creation as well. Just sayin'
Now I don't know that much about Wonder Woman, but she's best known by the general public as a type of female role model. She was regarded as a Feminist icon during the 60's and 70's, demonstrating that women could be just as capable as men (or super-powered men, as the case may be).
Somehow I don't think the producers were thinking "female role model" when they designed this particular costume. I understand Wonder Woman is known also for her beauty, but it seems like this is just blatant male fan-service with the over-accentuated boobage factor.
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.
As for Batman, there's a difference between an American creation and iconically American. Batman wears a black outfit with no iconatry except for the bat; no country or widely recognised organisation has claimed the bat or matte black. There isn't anything about Batman that is necessarily American, he's just a man with virtually unlimited resources. That's his strength, he is an anyman.
Apparently this is not true of Wonder Woman, she is a super (suffers from whatever guys trying to relate to Superman suffer from) any-american-woman.
Well that's already a mark down for this show in my eyes...
Also, Me and the lady-friend believe it's high time the escapist sat down and really had a think about what it considers 'Boobalicious.
We're currently unimpressed.

since when does Wonder Woman wear pants?! that's the only semi-negative thing i have to say about it though, other than the pants it looks awesome and can't wait for the premiere...
Quick edit, Repone Consuming was my captcha and it's the funniest one i've ever seen

Beautiful actress, decent design - I prefer the traditional bare-leg look to the pants, but it's a reasonable compromise to something a human being has to wear. Other than that, though, the DESIGN is basically perfect...
...The EXECUTION, on the other hand, is CRAP. What costume designer in their right mind makes the whole bloody thing that "shiny?" Some varied textures - leather/metal for the top and boots, cloth or performance-spandex for the pants maybe? - would help it tremendously. Unless its meant to "work" under certain types of lighting...

MovieBob is gonna be fuming... and I quite agreeTom Goldman said:
Wonder Woman could ahve made a fantastic film, and also been THE superhero reboot that is truly empowering to women, and instead we get this.
Don't get me wrong, women can be sexy and confident, and so my dig isn't at the costume so much. But "Girl power pop songs"? Can you get any more insulting and regressed? Bullshit. Well done tv execs for fucking it up again. This isn't even out yet and I hope it gets canned after the first season
My only problem is that the boots and pants are both blue, it looks weird. I think if the boots were red or gold it might break up the colours better.
Man I'm a Marvel fanboy and even I think this is extremely tacky. All Boobies Aside.
We get all the badass comic to screen costume transitions and you guys get this.
(The Dark Knight is the exception to the DC/Marvel costume rule)

I'm glad the designers went with long pants instead of the usual "booty-shorts", if you will. It makes her look like she has a bit of respect, however minimal it may be. 
But I digress. I don't know shit about Wonder Woman outside the whole "clan of Amazons" bit.

Speaking of "Girl Power", who else wants to see a Live Action Power Girl? EPIC BOOBS ARE EPIC.Gaderael said:

Was this posted yet? I only skimmed the thread, sorry if it's already been mentioned.

It's a recolour of the photo that makes it look much better. Not good, but still, much better.
I don't really understand Wonder Woman's appeal, outside of the obvious titillation. A female superhero must have been a big deal when she was created but not so much anymore. Does she have anything that makes her interesting besides two x chromosomes?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the only thing that excites me about this series is that we may finally see Giganta rendered in live-action.
Ummm.
You can probably guess why.
