At first glance it seems like it might be okay, but it looks worse the more I look at it. If it's gonna shine, I'd prefer it look less plastic and reserve the shine to the parts that are supposed to be metal. Also don't care for the lipstick. And they should have stuck with red boots.

That looks quite acceptable - but she should have red boots

I pretty much agree with Project Rooftop's assessment. It just misses the mark. Part of it is the photo-shoppery feel of the image, but overall, it just doesn't quite hit the right notes.
That said, I'm glad that they are at least putting her in some sort of superhero costume.

Is that the actress who will be playing WW?
I think the costume looks good. If I was to be nitpicky, I'd probably go with a darker blue for the pants, have her lift some weights so she had a bit of muscle and lose the lipstick but as I said, thats just nitpicking. Overall, as is, still looks really good.
I don't think it looks that bad. I'll have to see it in action to know for sure.
I'm sorry, I want to stay positive, but ewww. How is it possible that Smallville's version of the Wonder Woman costume outdoes this one?
Well at the very least this WW costume for the new show is unique. I'm not quite sure if I like it or not, but I think it's safe to say it could have been a lot worse.
Based on all the "doom and gloom" people were spouting a few weeks ago when this show was first announced I'd say this isn't bad. Remember back when everyone was assuming we were going to get a "female Batman" out of this? At least this outfit is far closer to the classic look than I'll bet most people were assuming we'd get.
As someone earlier said there's only so much you can decide based on one still shot. As always I'm going to reserve my final judgement for when I see her running around in the actual TV show. Only then will I really know if this outfit "works" or not.

I gotta be honest- it looks like an ad for a Wonder Woman Halloween costume.

Frankly they BOTH sort of look like plastic Halloween costumes. I think the Smallville outfit has many of the same fundamental rubbery and/or plasticy "faults" if you want to get picky about it. *shrugs*

Pleather?
really?
yuck
and lose the lipstick
Well one saving grace is that this is obviously an early production "beta" version of the costume. Many things tend to get adjusted or fixed as a TV show evolves before it finally gets made for real. Maybe they'll listen to various comments like these and change things like improving the lasso or toning back the lipstick.
Again I'm far from giving this show any final judgements one way or the other...

Body is good. Face is a little... I dunno. Too round for WW.

Something just looks really off about that costume, looks so plastic.

It just seems that going crime fighting isn't the time or place for make up.
It sends a message that I find to be very incongruous with my image of Wonder Woman. I see her as more of a no-nonsense sort of person when it comes to her mission in life.
Also, that actress doesn't look one whit a warrior in that picture. I'd like to see a more gritty, ancient battlefield looking vibe happening with her.
The WW costume looks a lot better than the Cap America movie costume BY A LONG SHOT !
Im depressed about how bad Cap is gonna look in the movie.. This only makes me sadder

The suit looks like it's made out of vinyl. And the boots should be red

They've already mentioned that people like Katy Perry are going to be at least indirectly involved in the new WW's life as a sort of "competitor of fame and notoriety" as far as their public lives go.|

If you're looking for the "gritty ancient battlefield amazon warrior" version of WW this isn't going to be your show.

DC finally released a photo of the new Wonder Woman for the TV pilot. Not a bad cross between the classic and the new looks.
