#1 Wonder Woman's costume changed.

Pros: Boots are red, pants aren't skin hugging shiny abominations against practical wear. Colors more acceptable. Big thing, heels are gone, boots are now more practical!

Cons: Still plasticly

I have to give NBC full credit, people called shit on the costume and they tried to address it. That's a good start guys and that does get some willingness to give lie lay from me. Good effort guys, you get a +10.

On the flip side, a problem here is that alot of the commenters are noting that well... It feels like someone dressing up as wonder woman, not someone as wonder woman if you can grasp the distinctions. I got nothing on how you could address that.

They fixed my major issues with the costume.

I approve.

Of the costume.

The actress just doesn't seem to fit the role to me in that shot. something I can't put my finger on....

The costume looks a whole lot better.

As for the actress, I honestly think she's acceptable. We haven't seen her in action and these are all stills, which aren't the best way of determining whether something or someone works.

While I'm with Adam on that there's something about her that says not Diana to me I also agree with Stofsk that this being studio stills it's to early to vote for keeps.
Boots are a considerable improvement, and while I don't like the pants, I think they work. Something about the belt still bothers me (though I can't quite put my finger on it) but all in all, much better than the first one.

The belt (and all the gold 'metal' stuff) looks like it's made out of plastic. It would be better if it was made out of gold. Or at least looked like it was made out of gold.

But that could be a lighting issue. Post-production is where the magic of film comes out to shine.

It doesn't have to look like gold, as long as it looks like metal, but yeah, I think it looking too plastic-y is the problem.
