NBC’s Wonder Woman Costume Looks a Bit Different in Action

A couple of weeks ago, when Entertainment Weekly revealed the very first official photo of Adrianne Palicki in costume as the new Wonder Woman, the general reaction wasn’t so much one of outrage as it was bemused disbelief. How could something like this ever get approved, much less shown to the general public? It seemed like they were going for sexy and just went too far. In all fairness, it did stay somewhat true to the original costume design, and perhaps the outfit could still be salvaged if they just toned it down a bit.

Well, today some photos from the set of the Wonder Woman pilot found their way online, and lo and behold, they have indeed made some adjustments to the suit. It’s not clear if this is due to the fan response or just for the sake of practicality, but in these new action shots the costume looks a lot less shiny, the makeup is barely visible, and the boots are back to the classic red. It definitely looks a lot more acceptable, although the hotness factor seems to have gone down a few notches as a result. But is that actually Adrianne Palicki in these pictures or is it her stunt double? Either way, what do you think of the new Wonder Woman costume in action? Check out some bigger photos after the jump.

    It looks like a stunt double, but I like her better..

    Look at her jumping on those Cars.. This shit is Solid.

  • Awesome! I really like this costume! This is going to be such a fun show! I’m so excited! Yay!

  • Brett

    Overall, it’s a big ? for me.

    (I think it’s Palicki in the first photo, double in the others.)

  • Xidor

    I think it looks lame. She looks like a cowgirl, not an Amazonian, but that will probably sell better in the US.

  • 100% they changed it because of the fanboy reaction. But really, the costume is the last thing the fans of this comic should be worried about – the show is being run by David. E. Kelly. That’s the real concern.

    Where’s the invisible plane? I hope that they have put enough fuel in it.

  • Who is the show actually aimed at? I think the first image will live on in infamy.

  • Kasper

    Wonder Woman looks ridiculous. Always have – always will. I have zero faith in this show.

  • rob

    looks stupid but with some post production they could make it look cool

    is that likely though?

  • Big Hungry

    There may also be more than one outfit…. Like the Lynda Carter series.

    Wonder what the point is to switching the bracelets to a silver color. Not that I really care as I won’t watch it. Just find this still looking strange as I’m more aware of her possibility of popping out of her top than anything else. I think it’s distracting. Also they obviously made her pants a bit more loose and comfortable for running I guess but now it looks totally unmatched to the top. Oh well. Still looks terrible.

  • Nelson

    I think it looks a lot more acceptable. This show could be very good and I am looking forward to watching it. I’m horrified because when the first Wonder Woman tv series aired I was just a kid, I could barely make sense of anything that happened on the show except the music, which to me back then, was very memorable, and the way she spun in place when changing into her costume.

    Time flies.

  • Matt

    I’m not sure there’s enough interest in the show for it to last.

  • The ONLY way this thing will be ANY good is if it doesnt take itself AT ALL seriously. Some things work fine as old comic books and campy 70s movies and just don’t work out as new school super hero drama television shows.

    Why not go back to bikini bottoms? The costume is wholly ridiculous anyway. Might as well go for sexy.

  • Brendan

    The “hotness factor” Sean speaks of is probably down more due to the stunt double than the outfit & makeup. I wonder (no pun intended) if the high heels are only gone for the stunts, for obvious reasons.

  • Brendan

    On second look, it’s definitely Palicki in the first shot, but a stunt double in the other two pics.

  • Pres Mony

    Bwah ha ha ha! Somebody better get fired over this nonsense.
