Yes, and I hear they are changing the Invisible Jet into the Somewhat Opaque Airplane.

To be fair, though, all the colors in that photo are darkened like a motherfucker, so who knows what any of this actually looks like.  She is still small enough to easily snap into two pieces, which is the bigger problem I have with her.

Someone should let Xena know her 16 year old niece has been stealing her clothes.

Reddit had a theory that this was to differentiate her from Batman and Superman.  The "Hero color palette"  Since Supes is already blue, Batman is black they made WW bronze because Flash will be Red.  This lets you quickly pick-out characters in a fight scene where action is fast because of the contrast vs. the static imagery of comics.

I doubt this seriously, but thought I'd offer it up anyway.  I'm more inclined to believe the costume designer heard "Amazon" and went for Xena because that's their exposure.  DC and their history of mishandling their own properties, after all.

Superman's costume isn't blue, at least not in Man of Steel. It's more "ALL THINGS MUST BE GRIMDARK!!!!" blue gray.

I am kinda torn. On the one hand, I am all for traditional costumes on superheros and this seems to be respectful enough to the design but modernized enough to be unique to this generation. On the other hand, I really can't stand the idea that women superheros are stuck with the swimsuit armor, whether it be a 1-piece or 2-piece. I like what the Avenger movies do with the costumes. As much as I am indifferent to Scarlett Johansson, I like the Black Widow gear and the upcoming Scarlet Witch gear. Hell, I even liked the fact that Capt America was not in skin tight spandex and his gear had texture and stitching where it should have been. Guess I am a non-traditionalist heathen.

I had zero problems with the costumes in Avengers being updated versions of the comics (Ultimate Captain America has had that look for years, the current comics version has it also). I didn't even mind the Man of Steel costume other than the very blue-filtered, color-leeching effect they added to the whole thing (along with the intentional grittied up film grain effects). This Wonder Woman costume though is just so monochrome and dull. And it doesn't seem to be done that way in an attempt to make it like armor because fuck me, that shit doesn't cover any vital areas.

I simply do not find her attractive in the least. Something about the cheeks and mouth in relation to the eyes. Different strokes I guess.

I don't get the love for her either. She's pretty, but not exceptionally so. Her entirely unimpressive nudes from Under The Skin didn't help matters. I know, I know, sharp knees, etc.

So I was really bothered by the light levels in the Wonder Woman shot.  Mainly because of Ironwood's "Wtf, silver lasso?" comment.  I thought to myself, "No.. surely it's only because things are so grimdark and gritty and desaturated."

So some really bad Photoshopping on my part produced this. Yeah, looks silver, though the bodice is apparently more red than bronze and the pants are grimdark blue.

She starts off on a psuedo Greek Island.  I have no problems with the lack of RWB outfit at the start as it'd make no sense.  However, what is up with her left leg?  It looks like they poorly photoshopped a boot on her.

I think they are meant to be something like vambraces on the front that don't completely surround the leg.

Point the first: Costumes are the least wrong thing we know about this project.

Point the second: People in this thread sound like the people who complained that Wolverine wasn't wearing yellow and blue.

Wonder Woman wearing off brown is not the reason this film looks bad, and there is no reason you couldn't make a good film about a female superhero dressed like a warcraft rogue.

There are plenty of good films with the porn equivalent of Wonder Woman in it.

IF this is the case, then I agree with you.  Otherwise the lack of RWB is a bit annoying.  Should Spiderman's costume be brown? It's RWB as well.

The costume makes sense to me if she's suppose to be an amazon warrior princess.  She frankly looks fine for that in a styalized comic book way.  Hell, she's wearing armor.  Thats how all amazon armor ever looks, and its better than her normal outfit. 

I mean, if they wanted to make her true to the wonder woman comic, she would be wearing a RWB bikini and have much larger tits. Thats about the only difference I can see at all that seprates this from her comic book form.  But I can see the angst, I also would be happier if they found an actress with bigger tits and made her fight in a patriotic bikini the entire film.  Since the movie is going to suck anyways no matter what.

Nah, in Gladiator they had full breastplates which make shitloads more sense. The Sexah Amazonian is an old trope the same as chainmail bikinis. Not that I mind either, but it's never been a serious reason other than objectification. Which makes sense when you know the true history of Wonder Woman's creator.

Also, actual boob plates create a weak point easily caved in at the sternum. You bow the entire chestpiece to accommodate breasts, not a double-bump. But then: comic book movie.

It really depends on whether the armor's functional or not. Late in the history of armor in Europe, some of it was almost entirely ceremonial, to be worn by the nobility for show and not really for combat. So some of that armor had some pretty ridiculous ornamental components that would have been a liability in actual combat. In that kind of context, if you'd had women being armored, I could easily see boobed chestplates and so on. But if it was being used in actual combat, yes, boob pieces would be a deathwish.

In fairness to female armor designs I'm sure that the people designing it always try to go back and look at Female armor designs through history. I'm an especially big fan of Helenic female armor.

Likewise. Also can't really believe so many people actually care what Wonder Woman might look like, is she actually an interesting character in any way? DC is very much not my thing but I watched all the cartoons and Wonder Woman sucks ass in them.

People are being super critical because it's bullshit to just cram wonder woman in a movie with batman and superman without even having her own movie first.  If that were a picture of wonder woman from the wonder woman movie it would be fine with everyone.  It's hard to express how insulting it is to have the premiere female super hero relegated to third most important character in an ensemble cast.  Meanwhile (gotg) has already been in two movies.
