    Wonder Woman

    The Amazon princess, blessed with god-like super abilities, Wonder Woman is one of Earth's most powerful defenders of peace, justice, and equality and a member of the Justice League. She is considered an archetype for many heroines outside of comic book. Her initial origin depicted her as a clay baby brought to life by patron goddess Aphrodite, but in recent years she has been depicted as the daughter of Zeus and Amazon queen Hippolyta.

    Would have been spot on if she had the blue eyes but this is pretty impressive. The tiara could of been done better though.

    The tiara's design ain't very good to begin with and whoever made this photomontage made it from low resolution pictures taken from the internet less than 1000px wide, he or she didn't have the original files. Personally, I couldn't care less about the color of her eyes, I think she looks really good here :)

    She looks great, I'm really excited to see her in the movie. And the blue eyes aren't important at all.

    I honestly think the heels are simply there to make her a little taller, the choice of a wedge makes it less obvious that she's wearing heels at all. Gal is 5'10" but Ben Affleck is like 6'4" and Henry Cavill is around 6'1" ... giving Gal a 2-3" wedge will give her a +6' height which fits the character.

    I agree with the general sentiment on the board though ... the tiara is the weakest point IMO, but overall it's a solid design for her costume.

    I just wanna point something out.. this irks me for some reason but it's a misconception on heels. 3 inch heels will not make you 3 inches taller. Why? Because heels are just putting your feet on angles in a way. And they hurt because they stretch your ankle and feet out. Ugh I can't really describe why it's so painful. It will probably be more like 1.5 inches. Still in the 5'11 range of height though. Also, I understand why Gal's a fashion model now. She's got a unique look and 5'10's suppose to be the perfect model height.

    Anyways, I hate the tiara design as well. Just looks meh. And also, I don't know, but the fact that a section of her forehead is exposed just seems weird, but I understand it's probably how her hairline/forehead works.

    @darkdetective27: Good work Detective! I wouldn't call it a photoshop fail though because although you can tell it's fake, it's still enough realistic-looking that you get a good idea of how splendid Gal Gadot would've looked like as Wonder Woman with a brighter, more colorful costume. I couldn't wait to show you ingrates

    fair enough ... guess I just don't think the heels are all that big of a deal, the comic character wore them for most of her existence in some form or another and this costume is making an obvious effort to downplay them, or at least make them appear semi-functional.

    I don't like that the Tiara looks like she's wearing it upside down ... the pointy side should be UP!

    I hate it. It's not Wonderriffic enough. I mean what would be wrong with adding some standard Wonder Woman costume elements, to make it really look like her? For instance, the tiara looks like a headband instead of a weapon/symbol of royalty. The breastplate is different. The belt is different. The skirt is different. The bracelets are different. The sword and shield are different. The boots are different. There's nothing familiar at all about it. I mean they couldn't even throw us a bone with a few five point stars. It's not red, white and blue, in fact, there's no white at all. Anything remotely patriotic has been sanitized from the costume to make it look more like Xena. I effing hate it.

    And the blue eyes are important, I don't care what anybody says. Wonder Woman's eyes are blue.

    Τhe Bracelets and Tiara are too comicbooky for DC's realistic take and even in comics they have started taking second place behind the sword and shield.

    Do I agree with that, no, but I feel that's the reasoning behind it.

    Would have been spot on if she had the blue eyes but this is pretty impressive. The tiara could of been done better though.

    The reason she doesn't have blue eyes to begin with is because they went for a more "Mediterranean" look.

    I agree. That's the first thing that comes to mind too. WW should be able to look Supes and Bats in the eyes without them looking down.

    @scorpio_cassadine: I agree that the costume doesn't really scream Wonder Woman, it looks too much like a standard greek warrior woman getup imo. The colors are way too dark and muddied and her iconic weapons, namely the tiara and bracelets look really cheap and ordinary, I saw how they fabricate fake metal pieces with EVA foam on Face Off so you get this cheap, industrial, brushed metal finish. The tiara looks like the BvS logo to me, overall it's a good-looking costume but as far as designing a costume FOR Wonder Woman goes, I'd say Michael Wilkinson didn't really nail the brief.

    And I'm fed up with Wonder Woman getting shortchanged because of Superman, reading Madflavor's comment made me realize there's a giant disconnect between my expectations and what we're actually getting, we've sacrificed a lot, too much actually, but what are you gonna do...one can only hope that Gal Gadot knocked it out of the park

    I didn't say I agree. But I have seen opinions that the tiara and lasso are ridiculous running around, I feel the need to diminish their lore comes from appealing to the same fans that think Superman must be realistic etc.

    Also it might have something to do with the insecurity when it comes to magic. I mean look at Marvel, it turned Thor into an Alien and in Doctor Strange, "magic" will be very advanced science or something.

    @squalleon: I think it's the signature moves, the bullets-and-bracelets and the chakram-tiara throw, that's what people find silly. IMO, even if bullets don't penetrate her flesh I like that she deflects them anyway, I think it looks cool and bullets bouncing off his chest is one of Superman's trademarks hence the moniker "Man of Steel". Regardless of how she utilizes them, the tiara and bracelets are two of Wonder Woman's iconic symbols and I feel as though this design doesn't do them justice. So although it's a very beautiful costume, imo it doesn't read Wonder Woman, it reads Amazon soldier.

    @mark_stephen: Yeah Xena is still very fresh in the public mind here across the pond whereas Wonder Woman is barely known at all. If you show them a picture, some people may be able to put a name to the bathing-suit clad heroine, however when she comes up on the screen wearing this, "Xena" will probably be the first thing on everybody's mind. Actually the Fine Brothers made an Elders React video, one of the grannies thought she was Xena...

    Well sorry. Seesh. The colors of the costume look too bright and so does her skin in contrast to the background. I mean, if they unfiltered the costume, shouldn't the background more than likely be lighter as it most likely had a filter as well? Also, almost every official release and even the pictures WB's released, the costume looks slightly darker shades than that. Especially the skirt. So no, someone could think that someone literally went on photoshop or any picture editor, selected and isolated Gal and then brightened up her outfit. And her skin too.

    Unless I could see the article or video or the photographer who did this, the instagram account? Cause I just did a quick search and just about every article I saw had the costume much darker shades. And the only page that poped up with this image was Comic Vine. Unless it's instagram or twitter? But you know what? Whatever. I'll just wait till more official pictures come out. Also, the lasso looks really cheap. Like it could break the moment she tries to swing it around. But then again, it's magic/enchanted so it shouldn't.

    Also, people are complaining about the costume but saying to stop hating or worrying about Gal? Jeez. We should all just keep our mouths shut then or wait. We can't change anything now.

    @saint_sophie: You know you're right about the golden lasso, if we're being nitpicky it's totally the wrong shade of gold, it doesn't look like anything special. The props department didn't do a very good job with her iconic weapons
