The geek gods giveth, and they taketh away

As a comic fan I should be used to this kind of stuff, right?

The First image of Adrianne Palicki starring as the title character in the new NBC pilot “Wonder Woman,”


Why? Oh, why?

I thought the whole point of going with the costume that debuted in WW #600 was to get away from the bustier/primary color thing. I only read two issues of the new improved WW, but the shading on the top - which had straps! - came off as much darker, and the pants were black. The comic version also wears a cropped leather jacket. *gasp*

This is... this is so bad. Not to mention cheap. And shiny.

I quite like wonder woman, she was strong and noble and kinda kick ass,

I loved Wonder Woman, until the new creative team took hold anyway. How she was an ambassador for peace, but would throw down if there were no other options. How she was Batman and Superman's equal and could kick both their asses if need be. How she started out as such a misogynistic character, but grew into such an amazing icon for female empowerment, even when wearing the short-shorts. ;)

I had kind of decided not to get my hopes up regarding the tv show, but I still expected more than that.
