SDCC: Wonder Woman costume revealed, is a total badass.

[Keoul]

Probably because of the lighting but everything looks too dull with a hint of sepia.
It's like the same deal with the guys except instead of grey and black she gets bronze and sepia.

 

[ChaplainOrion]

I like it, it makes sense, there's definitely that sense of Greek warrior in it. And the boots look like they're meant to be more like greaves than anything. I also imagine that the high heels will work out in the end and maybe give her a greater presence when standing next to Batman and Superman.

 

[FPLOON]

It's like she's ready to smack some sense into Batman and Superman or something...

Other than that, I really want to see her in action...

 

[Mikeyfell]

Uh oh they picked the version of her costume without long pants!
Take a shot every time someone calls this sexist.

She kinda looks like Wonder Woman as re-imagined by someone who forgot what a color is

Being, brown, copper...

I just hope the movie isn't as bad as Man of Steel

 

[lunavixen]

To be honest, it looks more like something Xena would wear rather than Wonder Woman (minus the heels). It's only vaguely recognisable as Wonder Womans outfit with all of the colour leeched out of it. I'm rather lukewarm about this.

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

It's not bad, I can see it working as something an Amazonian warrior would wear.

That girl needs to eat a steak every once in a while though, there's not a bit of muscle on her and that's kind of sad when she's supposed to be a Amazonian princess. I mean, I'm not saying she needs to be a female version of Lou Ferrigno, but she has absolutely zero muscle definition whatsoever. I'll be surprised if she can even lift that sword by herself without special effects.

Well, Zach Snyder is a man who forgets colors exist from time to time (or the majority of the time). Most of Man of Steel was gray, which was one of my problems with his aesthetic choices, so this outfit's colors are pretty much par for the course. I mean he even managed to make Superman's blue and red spandex look dull and washed out, so this is probably the best anyone could have hoped for with regards for his version of Wonder Woman.

I feel like, at least for the purposes of Man of Steel, Snyder is washing out the colors to avoid the visual campiness of previous Superman films. Unfortunately, what he doesn't realize is that campiness doesn't come from color scheme alone, and when we have bright and colorful superhero romps like the Marvel films to compare them to, making the colors that desaturated just makes the eyes thirsty for color.

 

[BathorysGraveland2]

I just don't see why anyone would deliberately leave their mid riff, arms and thighs exposed. If you can't afford a full panoply of armour, then at least cover it up with clothing. It just looks silly with those massive exposed spots screaming "hit me here!".

Boob plate too, for fuck sake, but I guess I can let that one slide in comparison. As a guy, I have no real right to say, but I'm not seeing any female empowerment here. More idiocy in an attempt to make the design "sexy". Surprised the reaction has been so far positive in this thread.

 

[DementedSheep]

It almost works for a Greek warrior spin on the WW costume but with the high heels, really really short skirt, actor looking liked she'd break if someone breathed on her to hard, drab colors (but that might just be the poster)...overall it's meh.

True to form, the first person to bring that up in the thread isn't someone calling it out but someone assuming that they will.

Did someone say tilting at windmills?

 

[ShadowsofHope]

It's not the worst I could have imagined, but it's far from the best as well. Her body structure doesn't exactly scream "amazonian warrioress" either, even if her armor does.

Also, goddamn. Zach Snyder doesn't want happiness anywhere in his movies does he? I look at those posters and wonder just what the hell is supposed to attract my interest to the movie..

I suppose he was probably going for gritty realism and ended up with dull.

I just did a text search for the word "sexist" on this page.

You're the only person to say it so far, apart from me just now.

Guess I'll be staying sober tonight.

These are my thoughts about the poster:

Good points:
-The armor looks like a more realistic representation of what an amazon -might- wear. I mean, metal armor or some brightly coloured spandex, which is more 'realistic'?
-The poster tries to depict her as a badass.
-No tits'n'ass pose.

Bad points:
-She doesn't look like wonder woman. More like Xena or something. (as mentioned before)
-High heels? Really? Everyone knows that those things are terribly impractical for active combat. And if it's because the actress is short, cast a taller actress then! Which brings me to the next point...
-The actress looks like a skinny model, not like a strong but agile amazon warrior. She looks like even I could take her, and I'm no fighter by any means.
-Oh great more brown and orange. I've already been sick of that style since CoD3 and 300.

How they could fix it in my opinion:
-Find an actress that doesn't look like a skinny model.
-Lose the high heels.
-Return at least SOME of the colour, don't keep it all bronze armour.

 

[Kolby Jack]

I don't like it any bit.

- Somehow, that eagle feels too American. And if it's not American... well, the eagle is the symbol of Zeus. Isn't WW a feminist character?

Zeus is her father. Well, at least in the new continuity. I'll forgive you if you choose to ignore that, because I try to forget most of it myselfWHY GOD WHY DO THEY KEEP DOING AWFUL THINGS TO WALLY WEST HE WAS THE GREATEST FLASH EVERANDICAN'TBELIEVETHEYARETREATINGHIMLIKEGARBAGEGODDAMNITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!

*cough* Erm, anyway... I think it looks fine. I don't see the "petite" thing people seem to see. Wonder Woman has always had a supermodel figure like most female superheroes. Could they have broken the trend and gone with a little more meat for our amazon princess? Sure. Should they be blamed for not doing it? Nah. I'm more concerned about her ability to act, but we'll see when the thing comes out.

 

[mecegirl]

I didn't think she'd look like a good Wonder Woman when she was announced and I was right. She looks...petite. But that could be because I already know she's a shortie and I expect wonder woman to be tall.

Not sure I approve of the combat heels (though at least they're not stilettos or something equally impractical), but other than that... it actually looks something like what a warrior would wear to battle.

The stillettos are a bit odd

It looks to me like they're solid raised heels, not stilettos. The angle and lighting make it kind of difficult to tell though.

They're raised heels.

Of all the things, that bothers me least. Mostly because they'll probably raise that poor girl up a smidgen so she's not staring at everyone's nipples throughout the entire movie.

Where are ya'll getting the idea that she is short? Not defending her as choice or anything because what I've seen from her acting does not impress me(She was in the Fast and Furious movies and had a cameo in Date night. But for an international model turned actress I guess she does alright), but Gal Gadot is 5'9". Which for a woman is pretty tall. But what I wonder is if movie magic and camera angles can make a 5'7" Tom Cruise look the same height or taller than his co-stars without heels why do they need to put them on Ms. Gadot?

....Besides the obvious its a lady and thus flat footwear is a no no... Some "Greek" looking strapy sandals would look more appropriate, especially once covered by the armor that she is wearing in the picture .

It depends on who is drawing her. If it is the "house" style then she is either super skinny or has an exaggerated hourglass figure. But artists that draw in a "house" style tend to draw all their women alike to the point that the only way to tell heroines apart is by hair color and costume. They do similar things for the male characters expect it will be big and beefy for the heroes, and monstrously huge for the villains. Artists with a more varied style tend to draw characters like Wonder Woman, Big Barda or She-Hulk(to give a marvel example) as both taller and buffer than other female characters.

It's kinda amazing how the same costume can look so different depending on the artist.

Overall though the actress is a very slender woman, but she is also an international model (she also participated in Miss Universe contest for Israel) and women who go into modeling tend to be tall and skinny. Based on that picture they have actually padded her out up top because the actress has a smaller bust line.

Ben Afflick is 6' 3". Henry Cavill is 6' 1".

Staring at nipples was kind of a deliberate exaggeration, but the notion is still true. Even if she's tall for a women, they're still tall for men.

As for using camera magic... of course they could. But heels are way easier. And, you know, there's also the 'hot heels' angle.

As a side note, do her feet look super tiny to anyone else? Distractedly tiny, in fact?

It's kind of weirding me out.

 

[Foolery]

Needs more muscle. And less skin. I saw a preview image with IronBatman, so why can't Wonder Woman suit up to the extreme.

Maybe, something like this. Just as an example. Make her footwear closer to combat boots and less heel, that would be cool.
