I'm going to shoot my own Wonder Woman pilot.

With blackjack and hookers!

In fact... forget the pilot.

For that matter, forget the blackjack.

Wait.

I've lost everything.

Easy come, easy go.

Meh.

I like the design, kind reminds me the one I made. But looks like it's made of plastic.

It looks terrible. It's like she's cosplaying or going trick-or-treating.

I like the rudimentary design (we all knew she'd be wearing pants in this)... But this doesn't look nearly sophisticated enough. Especially for a Wonder Woman who runs a major corporation... It looks like it's made of plastic. Particularly the red star on the breastplate. Let's hope this is a "Pilot only" costume, and once it's greenlit, they put some extra money into making it look somewhat decent and reshoot the costumed scenes.

Sadly, it looks like something I'd design.

Holy crap you're right! Though I bet if you drew it it would look a million times better than that photo, cause maybe the metal would actually look like metal

Well, it's an inherent problem with film and metal. Mostly due to weight and cost, very rarely are metal things in film, made of metal. From Batarangs, to swords and shields, most everything that's "metal" in film, is actually made of a metallic painted resin.

If the metal bits of her costume were made of real metal, the actress would risk lacerations, wardrobe malfunctions, etc. Unfortunately, with all that, the resin bits look terrible in still shots, especially in this day of high resolution cameras.

Even the gloss of the PVC of her costume (I'd have used a heavy gauge latex instead, PVC in still shots look like bad "sexy Halloween" costumes), will be toned down in the show, because they won't be using the high powered lights they use in publicity photos.

I know that, I said "look like metal", I know lighting can change but good god who approved that picture as the first release?

It looks terrible (but then all production photos do). I also think the actress looks like a stripper. She might be a very pretty woman day-to-day, but that publicity shot makes her look like a very ugly, fake, harlot.

But then, often these production shots are just a quick "this is the basic look" for consistency and continuity and it's not meant to be like a teaser poster. These are meant for the production company and looking 'awesome' isn't what's required. So I assume I'm judging it on aesthetic merits that the picture was never intended to fulfill.

It's not too bad. I think I kinda like of it. As I think for how the series is also the fact it may look even better in the series post fix ups ect.. I like it.

I think it would be hard to make most super heroes look good with a live action TV budget, that's why super heroes don't generally work in live action TV.

Saw this from another forum, Smallville did it

It's just funny when they did as a cameo/joke it looks a million times better than that photo of a final design they're sticking with for potentially a whole season
