Rating TV’s Wonder Woman costumes
How does the 2011 TV pilot look stack up?
Move over, Helen of Troy. The lovely and talented Adrianne Palicki’s is the face that launched a thousand comments:
Or perhaps it was her costume that did it?
The collective Internet response to the new TV Wonder Woman pilot costume looks to be spread evenly between an indifferent “meh” and outrage, with fan-made costume retouches cropping up online almost immediately – just like what happened with the Wonder Woman costume redesign that debuted in August 2010.
But how does this latest attempt at Wonder Woman’s outfit compare to previous attempts at capturing the comic amazon’s look on the small screen?
Contender 1: Cathy Lee Crosby starred in a made-for-TV Wonder Woman movie that was the first attempt at adapting the character to TV… by changing everything about her, omitting her ability for superhuman feats, secret identity, and of course: the costume.
Contender 2: Lynda Carter in the well-known 1976 series that aired on ABC and CBS, which was actually a fair adaptation and compromise of the original World War II-era Wonder Woman costume and the later iconic look. It’s also an acceptable look when compared to the Christopher Reeves look in the 1978 Superman movie, though it is admittedly cheaper looking.
Contender 3: Smallville’s Erica Durance, who plays Lois Lane, went for the Amazon look in the Smallville episode “Warrior,” which involves a comic book convention and Zatanna and a bunch of other things. Regardless of that show’s convolutions, this costume is a more realistic take of Wonder Woman’s look that wouldn’t look too out of place in a The Dark Knight-esque take on the character – or a crossover romp in the Xena: Warrior Princess universe. Too bad it was wasted on a “wink-wink, nudge-nudge” type scenario on Smallville.
So, does the 2011 costume really look worse than a one-episode outfit from the notoriously low-budget Smallville, or does the shiny really work you?

NBC Picks Up Wonder Woman Pilot
Finally, some good news regarding Wonder Woman! Contrary to what was said in the press weeks ago, THR confirms that NBC has picked up David E. Kelley's version of Wonder Woman to pilot. Apparently, NBC and the other television networks first passed on the project due to budgetary reasons but, last month, Kelley hinted that the show might finally get a chance to land on the small screen as soon as next year.
"I think the likelihood is we'll see it next year. I'm being optimistic but I don't think I'm being unrealistic." he told THR in mid-January. He also hinted that NBC would be a perfect fit for the series.
"I like to think of it as a smart script and I know [new NBC programming chief Bob Greenblatt] responds to smart material." He added that the character will not only be a superhero but a "real complex woman".
Now, let´s just hope it gets picked up as a proper TV series!

No Punching Disney Princess in The Avengers, But Definitely Another Female Hero
By now you’ve probably heard all the official denials that manufactured Disney princess Demi Lovato will not be in “The Avengers” as rumored, which apparently made a lot of nerds really happy. I don’t know, I think she would have made a fine addition; she’s not a really bad actress, per se. Or at least, it would have been funny watching her punch people in the movie, being that she got in trouble for that in real life. You know, as an inside joke kinda thing?
