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.

    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By Nas · Posted

      So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

      Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.
