Why NBC’s Wonder Woman Should Seem Much More Familiar…

Well, I have never read anything from the Silver Age, nor do I care what the origins of Superman’s (or any other character for that matter) costume are/is. So an attempt to attach me to that era is mistaken. That much having been said, you are WAY WAY too far down the rabbit hole. ALL explained origin(s) for ANYBODY’s costume are subject to change every 10 to 20 years. Latching on to one and holding on come Hell or high water is probably not healthy. And if you cannot see the humor in this thread, well imagine if you overheard two sports geeks arguing for over a day about the origins of the pinstripes on the NY Yankees uniforms, because that is equally entertaining.

You’re really getting worked up about the story somebody made up at least 60 years after the fact to explain Superman’s costume?

He wears the costume because he’s Superman and that’s what Superman wears. Nobody but the most continuity-obsessed fanboy cares one whit about the in-story explanation for it.

Please stop. You’re embarrassing comic book readers around the world.

I thought this article was about the forthcoming Wonder Woman TV pilot so how did it degenerate in to a pointless argument about Superman’s costume, it would be nice if it got back on track.

So here’s my two cents casting Liz Hurley is a mistake sorry but she can’t act, the costume i have no problem with with them giving WW trousers, (sorry i know Americans refer to them as pants), instead of the butt revealing swimsuit of the comics, i think the top half looks fine and a reasonable adaption of the proper costume but the boots should be red and white not blue which make them indistinguishable from the trousers.

As for the casting of Adrianne Palicki as WW/Diana Prince the actress I’ve only seen her in the episodes of Supernatural she’s appeared in as the murdered girlfriend of Sam Winchester in which she was fine in but it was only a small part and she’s only been back once or twice since getting bumped off in the pilot and the episode of Smallville she was in as the fake Kara/Supergirl from the end of season 3 which i seem to remember finding her a bit wooden but if she has developed as an actress that’s fine I’ll wait to see her in action before rushing to judgement.

The script leaked onto the internet seems weak and to centered on her work love life balance which is not what WW should be about Kelley is a great writer on his shows which have all centered on the law his forte and their have been good female characters on them but i fear he could turn her into a caricature.

What this needs is help from comic book writers who have written for WW but what every WW or even just comic book fan wanted was the Joss Whedon movie or at the very least like i said a comics writer who knows the character and can create a believable version for fans and non fans to tune into week in week out on a series not just a pilot.

As for the articles’ author and his Catwoman comparison based on casting it’s a fair one to make, that thing was one of the worst movies of all time but here’s a little trick comic fans and DC can do just simply erase it from their minds as it was in no way other than the movie title is it connected to the character from the Batman comics.

Finally i will watch this and try to avoid seeing the opinions of those who’ll see it before me when it does eventually air so as not to colour my judgement. i hope that the script kinks are worked out as I’d like to see more superheroes make it to the small screen to successful shows as done right it could be where they are better served with the chance to create and develop story lines over episodes and entire seasons.
