Looking good there,  someone on another website made the Xena comparison though, which I think is valid at this point, it's pretty close unless this WW outfit does in fact have more color too it than what we can see in this promo shot, which I bet it does.

They might've played with the colours just like they did with Batman and Superman's reveal poster. Batman was black and white and his cowl reveal only showed his.. well.. cowl and rest of his face. Superman's photo was desaturated with a blue tint added to it. So I think it's the same with Wonder Woman's reveal poster. So for that matter, we haven't seen the true colours of any of the suits.

Yeah, which is why I don't worry about the "color" for these things but it's the first thing the detractors jump on when they see it.

Complaining about colours isn't that big of a deal when you've seen people complaining about the fact that it's wrong that Wonder Woman is carrying a sword, a weapon of murder. Those people obviously aren't familiar with the comic-books, but it's quite lame to say that about a movie character if you ask me.

I'm torn on the WW outfit. In one hand, the colors would make it

more comic-booky... but on the other, WW is an Amazonian which

means that bronzed look works quite well; it's more warrior-like.

I totally agree, that's why I'm glad that Superman's outfit in Man of Steel was a bit more desaturated compared to the comic-book vibrant colours. I actually love the colours that the costume has in the reveal photo. It makes her look more realistic and down to earth. They made it look like real ancient armour that people have used centuries ago.

Tried to remove that filter as much as possible:

IF these are the true colours, it turns out that did the same things as they did with Superman's suit. Less vibrant colours to make it look more real and not from a comic-book.

Yeah, there's some dark blue in there for sure, not the type of blue from the comics etc, but that's different media.  I expect vibrant colors in comics but not so much in movies.  They did the same with Marvel, look at what they did with Captain America, it's a darker/washed out blue and not the blue we all know from the comics.

Batman has a "contingency plan" for every super-powered Being he investigates. I love that.

And if I remember right, doesn't Superman end up giving Batman a Kryptonite ring because he knows Bats will do what's necessary if needed?

Yus. And in one of the Crisises (I cannot recall exactly which one), it is also revealed that Aquaman (I think it's him?) has heard Superman say Bruce's name with fear (he thought it was anger at the time, but later figured out it was fear). Superman knows Batman is among one of those who can kill him if he really wants.

 

Sure is a good while out before it releases I figured on a next year release not two years.

 

So now I'm not a big comic book buff here, but I assume both superman and batman won't really be fighting each other but will be fighting against Lex Luthor.

If the movie is true to the comics, it's very possible that they'll fight against each other. The only thing I know, if they do fight each other, is that Superman will need to surrender or die at some point.

I've been expecting them to fight each other, I hope I've not been wrong on that.

 

And I'm not sure what I think about the WW costume - too little colour, it doesn't hold true to any WW costume I know from the comics.

I like how they're keeping everything vague and a mystery before revealing the teaser/trailer. More productions should do this to be honest. And I'm also hoping that we're going to to get tons of long trailers/tv spots for this film.

Yep, it gives you that sense of reality. Like you're not watching at an actor who is doing a cosplay of their favourite comic-book character, but you're actually really seeing that character coming to live. If that makes sense :p

Comic and film are two very different media, and the vibrant colors do not work as well on film as it does in the comics. While we all love the comics, the content must be adapted if you're gonna successfully move it into another media. And by doing it like this, the characters feel less like a cosplay, like you say.

 

But for WW, wouldn't the New 52 have worked pretty well?

Youtube will be taking them all down until they officially release the teaser

 

Nobody saved it?? Why do people continue to post on youtube when they will yank just about anything off to avoid conflict.

I think Wonder Woman's outfit looks great and the colors are probably muted for the promo shot, but I can't help but be skeptical about Gadot's physical build. Looking at her right arm in particular, it looks too thick to a mass she's bulked up to. I'm not sure about her legs, but I'm thinking those were shopped to be bigger also, albeit slightly. I think when we see more of the movie, she's going to look skinnier than this promo shot indicates.

I don't get why WW has to be bulkier or something, as far as I know, except for a few things, she's always been tall and slender or just toned up but never with too much muscle, she's suppose to look hot as well.

 

I think she'll look fine, we're still two years away guys.

Not really because then it would look like she's walking around in a swimming suit. The suit she's wearing in this film looks much more realistic if you ask me.

It's not that she needs to be bulky or buff, Wonder Woman shouldn't look like a twig either. Galdot has done well in putting on mass for the role, but I am skeptical she's put on as much as the promo shot indicates. All that working out she's done and, going by the promo shot, there no muscle tone to account for. Could be an early test shot before she got heavy into the workout regiment and they touched it up to be what they expect. However, If Galdot really is as big as the shot indicates, great! That's not a twig WW then.

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      By Shadow8 · Posted

      I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.
    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      Could you come up with a slightly less depressing background for Tux instead of that gray gradient? Doesn't have to be cheerful, just less of a downer...
    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
