New Pic: Are These Wonder Woman's Star Panties?

I saw this yesterday on Facebook, but wasn't sure about posting it. But Bleeding Cool has this pic on their great blog; so I thought, "why not"

Looks like it could be the hot pants!

To tease the possibly of seeing the original Wonder Woman costume, Liz says that Adrianne Palicki looks great in the WW hot pants.

My Rant on Wonder Woman's (TV) Costume

I needed a day to think about this WW costume. And while, it's not a bad, bad, bad... It ain't good either.

In an earlier post, I said I didn't want to see the pantsuit. Well, we got the pantsuit. In fact, we got Madonna's 'American Life' tour costume. The S&M look is not giving me Diana, it's giving me Britney Spears in the 'Blackout' days.

The leggings look slutty, the boots should NOT have heels, Diana should not wear make-up, the blue on blue is too much and breast plate looks like a drag queen's final act costume.

NBC, haven't you been listening to the fans? Have you been looking the Justice League cartoons on Cartoon Network? Hell, do you even know who Wonder Woman is?

This costume does not convey Diana at all. I'm getting Showgirls and the Pussycat Dolls! This is not up to par, y'all!

Now, if I was a part of this pilot, I wouldn't place her in the costume just yet. Diana would be in plain clothes or in some of her native wear until she needs to wear the costume.

 Oh, and the costume would have been the classic style. However, I would have limited the stars to 2, one on each side of her "panties" (see John Byrne's version), or mimic Alex Ross's style (see above).

Let's face it; the TV look is just Campy McCamp. This is NOT a uniform of an Amazon Princess, this is a look for a sorority girl for a Heroes themed party.

NBC please listen to the fans. Take this look back and give us a warrior princess in man's world. Maybe something similar to Xena, but true to the look of the Amazing Amazon.

Hera help them!

My Top 5 Costumes I don't want to see in Wonder Woman Pilot or Series

Lord this Wonder Woman pilot is giving a me an ulcer. With the all this talk of changing her iconic costume, my fears are consuming my soul... Okay, not really, but it's bothering me.

It feels that whoever working on her look is hooked on "wowing" the audience. And by wowing the audience, it means breaking the WW fans' hearts.

So this is my plea to not use any of these 5 costumes in the WW pilot.

That skirt- leave it in the 40s

Granny Panties - NO

Alternate Universe a.k.a. Cathy Lee Crosby look

The broke ass Biking shorts

And this one

First Look: An Original Sketch of Wonder Woman's Costume

 Here is a sketch of Wonder Woman before she made her first comic debut

This is the description

H. G. Peter - Original Illustration of Wonder Woman (ca. 1941). This is, quite frankly, an incredible piece of comics history. Recently acquired from the estate of H. G. Peter, Wonder Woman's original artist, these are his first sketches of the Amazon Princess. The figures are done in what appear to be pencil, ink, and crayon and show Wonder Woman from the side and from the front. To the right of the figures, in pencil, Peter has written to Dr. William Moulton Marston, Wonder Woman's creator, "Dear Dr. Marston, I slapped these two out in a hurry. The eagle is tough to handle - when in perspective or in profile, he doesn't show up clearly -- the shoes look like a stenographer's. I think the idea might be incorporated as a sort of Roman contraption. Peter". In red pencil, below the figures, Marston responds, "Dear Pete - I think the gal with hand up is very cute. I like her skirt, legs, hair. Bracelets okay + boots. These probably will work out. See other suggestions enclosed. No on these + stripes - red + white. With eagle's wings above or below breasts as per enclosed? Leave it to you. Don't we have to put a red stripe around her waist as belt? I thought Gaines wanted it - don't remember. Circlet will have to go higher - more like crown - see suggestions enclosed. See you Wednesday morning - WMM." Measuring approximately 13" x 18.75" overall, the piece is in excellent condition. It was obviously folded to fit in an envelope, with a horizontal fold approximately 4.5" from the top and five vertical fold lines. The profile figure stands approximately 8" tall, while the front-facing figure is slightly larger at 9". The historical importance of this piece cannot be overstated. This is a rare insight into the creation of an iconic character, showing clearly the creative process undertaken by two important comics pioneers. A piece of this caliber is rarely offered for public sale, especially one with such important historical qualities. Obtained from the estate of H. G. Peter, included with this lot are two other interesting items: a hand-drawn, hand-colored postcard addressed to "Miss A. Fulton" and signed "H. G. Roth" (Peter's real name), measuring approximately 6" x 4", and a sepia-toned portrait of Peter holding a pipe, which measures approximately 5.5" x 5.5". All in all, a fascinating collection of material from one of comic's most important artists. 

It was sold in an auction in 2002.
