Sadly, the Wonder Woman TV show won't be happening. People might think that's a good thing since it looked like such a train wreck. Apparently it was indeed a mess. The test audience that it was shown to didn't think too highly of it and NBC decided to pass on making it a weekly show.

One of the things mentioned about the pilot was Wonder Woman had two different looks. We've seen Adrianne Palicki with the "pants" look several times but there was mention of a "shorts" look. In other words, something closer to her original costume.

WonderWomanTV.com managed to get their hands on the following image (nice job guys!). What do you think?

Is this look better than the pants look? Which translates better to live action? Do you think it was the best decision to simply give up completely on the show or did it have a chance at working?

Nothing changes.

i can see a lot of pervs freezing the screen during high kicks to see... um... themyscira toe. 

This just makes me wake up to the fact that Wonder Woman's costume is both misogynistic and just generally a horrible superhero costume.

Give up on the show.  Totally.  I would have loved to see the show at some time, but I think the belt would be too gaudy with the shorts look.

My two cents... Jim

Good grief. The shorts look even worse than the pants.

This is horrible.

I wish they stuck with the redesigned pants instead of the "shorts".

I feel rather bad about the guys behind this show.

It looks more like a custom costume that somebody made for a convention (where it'd probably work), but as a tv show costume? no. Just no.

Interesting. Must better than what was being considered. And its a lot better than the "adult film" version suit we were originally treated to.

I think I mostly have a problem with her.  She's got a Wonder Woman costume on, but I'm still seeing the lady down the street wearing a cosplay con outfit.  I'm neither impressed nor intimidated, nor really titillated.   Don't get me wrong, looking back at the costume Linda Carter wore, it appealed to teenage me, but it has it's flaws as well (the 70's).   Maybe I'm hung up on how much I preferred the look and feel of  Xena... maybe I can only adopt one woman warrior and her garb.

On a side note, the guy in the picture seems more comic book world than she.  Get him on Fringe.

Better, but let's face it. You would have to be built like a young Linda Carter to fill out the costume correctly. And how is it after three changes the costume Department couldn't get the look right. Epic Fail Warner Bros. Another failed DC film project. Marvel Studios/Disney should just be contracted to handle these characters as well, the Warner Bros. execs. are batting .000 here.lol.

To all those people out there who hated the pants look and said "Why couldn't they just have it be like it is in the comics" I give you this, this is why they couldn't do that.

PROOF that just because something works in comics doesn't mean it will translate to live action.

I don't think the suit was ever the problem with the show, I just think that it was fundamentally flawed from a story position from the start.

She looks like she belong in a WWE ring

NBC, you fools!  We could've had a Baywatch-amount of running on our hands! And in THAT outfit!

I like the shorts look. Far better than the pants

See, the shorts would have been a worse idea for the show.

@EnSabahNurX: "Actually the current jacket and pants look would actually work well on tv"

I agree. I also think DC if debuted that costume in the show people would realize it is actually pretty good and it makes Wonder Woman look more believeable.

Hotpants make everything better.

Seriously. They let my legs breath and you should see the reactions you get from people.

Creepy dude on the left is creepy.

I am still happy that they did not pick it up

Same here.  I don't like the belt, though.

It's too bad, really, that these modern designers can't even come close to matching what the Wonder Woman show of the 70's did. 

Sad for us fans and embarrassing for them.

What's with the ginormous belt?

Maybe, I think this look would be better, however the pants were modern and I guess if the show is trying to appeal to a newer generation they'd go with pants.

As far as being a potentially possible TV show, sure, it can happen, will it reach the popularity or success of the old 70's show, maybe, we'd not know until someone tried it. That being said, its not the show for NBC, their recent attempts at an original idea super hero show, "The Cape" were in my opinion, just an insult to Super hero fans, and was full of ideas that were in no way original. Wonder Woman is a tough sell for anyone, but if they are looking for someone to take on the show, I bet they will find someone crazy enough to do it, the costume issue makes little difference to me, pants, shorts, whatever, thats not the point, the point is, its Wonder Woman. For the fans of the character, lets just hope Scifi Channel doesn't pick it up and make it into some kinda joke with a $6 budget. Viewers who could potentially watch the show however need to look at this not as being a TV equivalent to Nolan's Batman franchise films, but more toward the modesty of Smallville, its only a TV show, so they should only expect what a TV show can give, that is unless by some miracle HBO picks it up and makes it a short series with a massive budget, but that seems unlikely. 

Her corset should have been cut higher and for gods sake, havent they heard of cotton? or at least denim.

The supervillian on the left looks genuinely scary though.

And here it comes...looks like a swimsuit...or something picked up from the naughty store.

Dude, in the screenshots she had the cutest, perfectest denim pants, i know i saw them. Where did those go?

Lets see it from behind

It's not BAD per se, but the pants looked a lot better. Now if only she could keep the pants in the comics too.

She just looks like an average cosplayer. She doesn't have the body for it.
Every picture I've seen of the show just looks amateur, which is too bad.

As atrocious as the pants were, they were still better than this.

Wow....I love how when she got pants in the comics, everyone was in an uproar, and then when they give her pants on a show they're in an uproar as well, and then they finally try to show you what it would look like if they did it "by the book" and STILL their in an uproar....*sigh* Comic book fans, will we ever be pleased?

I actually kinda like it a bit more than the pants version even though I still think that the overall quality of it, is very low.

I'd probably have to see any of the show in action before actually judging it at all, but I think the belt looks way to big compared to the bikini bottom.  Its like she is wearing a big belt buckle, they should have made her belt smaller like her tiara for the bikini bottom scenes.  But I guess It doesn't exactly matter now.

I CAN'T be happy that they gave up on the series.  As a certain awesome writer who I love, respect and have a mad mad mad fan crush on - recently said on her Facebook page, '.... maybe it would have got better.'

She looks like a cosplayer. And not a particularly great one.
