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.

looks like the same batman from "dark knight returns".... basically bat-god.

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.

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.

None of those videos are available now....anywhere else to find them?

I am not a fan of the Wonder Woman outfit, it has no color to 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 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.

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

Most of the videos are too meh anyways, sure you get a general idea of what's shown, you can make things out to an extent but we need the HD teaser please!

[Razorwing]

Yep, HD please. and now.. lol. 

[macoman]

Yep, HD please. and now.. lol.

Yes let the comedy begins!!! :P

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.

[George P Global Moderator]

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.

[Lamp Post]

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.

[Jase]

The suit looks good without the filter, let's hope it's like that.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

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?

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.

[George P Global Moderator]

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.
