Not long ago, NBC released the first official image of Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman. David E. Kelley (of 'Doogie Howser' fame) wrote the pilot, and though it's not guaranteed to survive past the pilot stage, fans of the DC superhero are just excited to see someone finally doing something with the character, instead of more mindless chatter about some mysterious script maybe being written.
Problems quickly arose, however, when pretty much everyone immediately crapped all over the new Wonder Woman look, saying the costume was too shiny, looked more like a Sexy Wonder Woman Halloween costume than a legit, badass superhero get-up and, well, a bit much on the red lipstick, no? Wonder Woman is fighting criminals, not giving them lap dances.
Anyway, some new images have surfaced of Palicki on set, and look at what we have here -- they've changed the costume! Yup, the blue high-heel boots are now flat-bottom red boots, and her pants are no longer shiny and plastic-looking, but a muted navy blue. And the super-duper-red lipstick? Um, what lipstick?!
Check out a larger comparison image after the jump. Does this work for you now?
I know when I fight crime, I like having my boobs on the half shell - can’t hang out upside down with Batman though.
Seems like it would be hard to keep from it.

For years, I kept wondering if they’d make a big-budget film with Lucy Lawless in the role or someone with the same build and look... not a pop-tart lookalike. Real action stars like Michelle Yeoh can make productions like this watchable, but even in MY’s case, she’s so small boned that it’s less than believable when she high kicks someone who’s at least twice her body weight. I suppose by the same standard, Lynda Carter didn’t fit the role very well either ...but it didn’t matter as much in her case ;)
I’d either wear the first or the third. Never the second.
I like hte first one best. The 2nd looks like a Western Version.
You just can't compete with the original...
Thank you.
I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time :)
Contact cement.
She looks kinda like a thin Rosie O’Donnell.
I’ll pass and watch the BEAUTIFUL Lynda Carter on the old show.
I just wish it was on HULU.
bttt
I’m sorry, what did you say?
You may not like her look for the role, and I have yet to be convinced myself, but that gal must be 5’ 10” at least (with an athletic build), which is giant in Hollywood - especially for a woman.
They tried to make the tough football guy in Friday Night Lights she was dating look tall next to her in the show, but in publicity photos she towered over him in heels.
Glad they ditched the high heel boots and lipstick, but I think the Linda Carter costume was a classic! So they could still do better! Linda Carter so owned that little slip of a costume that she seemed like she had super powers - you would have to to wear that thing!
I want to see her use an Axe or Sword or something also.
That would be true to the comic AND something new on the screen.
She looks French to me. Probably surrender after the first shot.
Love Adriana Paliki because she is all kinds of sexy - but this fan attempt at the costume (and that model) put her to shame as far as getting "the look" right.
Ick on the R.O’Donnell comment...
OTOH, Ms Carter has/had some healthy & attractive curves unlike nowadays “performers”.
And,as I’ve been noticing, did Ms E. Taylor ~RIP~ .
Aloha kakou.
