Nad…not skimpy enough! I envision a more bikinish costume…but it’s not bad. ---

> [@Silent\_Kal](#): > > Bleeding Cool posted [some Photoshopped costume fixes](http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/03/19/fixing-the-wonder-woman-costume/). Red boots and slightly muted colors are a big improvement. It could be that the costume looks a lot less shiny and day-glow in the actual show. It depends on the lighting and color balance. It wouldn’t surprise me if that publicity still was photoshopped to within an inch of its life by someone who thought superhero==cherry red and electric blue and shiny. Of course, one guy can produce a bad publicity still, but who hired that guy and then gave the OK to release it? It points to a troubled production. Thing is, if there’s one thing Wonder Woman ain’t, it’s a neurotic career girl who sits around in her jammies watching reality TV and crying into her Haagen-Dazs about men who won’t commit. She’s a ball-busting Amazon. She is _literally_ female domination personified. ---

> [@Dante](#): > > The biggest improvement was shopping Cobie Smulders face in there. Winning! I know, right?! She’s got the perfect body for it - tall and toned without being too skinny or too solid. Plus a naturally pretty face that’s not too delicate for a superhero. But I wouldn’t wish this particular role (on this network, with this showrunner, etc.) on my worst enemy, let alone an actress I dig. ---

> [@beartato](#): > > If anyone could use a gritty reboot, it’s Wonder Woman. This just looks like pure camp, but without any hint of self-awareness. Ya know, after seeing her dressed in a girl who kicked a hornets nest, in the court room scene, Noomi Rapace may be the gritty reboot that you are seeking. Sorta like spiderman when he wears that black costume instead of his red one. Declan ---

As long as she gets tied up, a lot, I’ll be fine with it. ---

> [@Zebra](#): > > As long as she gets tied up, a lot, I’ll be fine with it. I’m hoping for some good knockout scenes, myself. A reenactment of the classic chloroform scene from the “Fausta, the Nazi Wonder Woman” episode would be great! https://www.youtube.com/embed/M-Uo8jDmoVY?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/S9XAmyXM4RM/hqdefault.jpg "Wonder Woman Video 40") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9XAmyXM4RM) I know this type of scene is extremely unlikely today, but that KO scene really set my deranged paraphiliac hormones into orbit, when I first saw it, as a horny teenager! ---

Production for the NBC pilot closed the touristy street between Orange and Highland starting Tuesday for a three-day shoot that will... The first shots from the set show NBC was listening. The boots are red, the pants are darker and Wonder Woman looks much less like a sex doll in real lighting. Moral of the Story: Promotional shots suck 85% of the time. ---

That’s definitely an improvement. No more high heels or plastic pants! Now if they could just fix every other problem with the show… ---

I was just about to post that some “leaked” photos show her in a costume that look a little better. Though I think the pants kind of look like sweat pants with stars stiched on the side… There’s a clip of them filming a chase scene with here here along with some pics: > **[Wonder Woman Costume In Action](https://www.buzzfeed.com/donnad/wonder-woman-costume-in-action)** > > Looks like the magic lasso of Internet Truth won out.
