Why do all these millennial actors have names that look like anagrams?
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I had no real interest in this movie (although I'm sure I'll see it when it finally comes out) but she looks great. Great enough to get me a little excited.
i like it, although at first glance it reminds me of Xena.

I want to know what wonderwaiter has to say about all this.

Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina

Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".
I am wondering if this is what she wears before she becomes member of the Justice League. She is a warrior princess after all, which is why I can see the muted browns and similarities to Xena.

It's such a rip off of Xena's costume. I'm disappointed on the lack of originality. The meme Jordan posted to this thread hits the nail on the head: "They didn't even try".
I have to say, with the exception of the recent Captain America, who made fun of but then embraced his All-American wardrobe, filmmakers are quick to neutralize the red-white-and-blue in others.
An anti-American backlash?
Fear of fanatical, flag-waving Tea Party connotations?
Worried about international box office receipts and a growing animosity toward "America!"
I wonder.
Or is somber really their favorite color?

Well, in the comics, she adopts the American colors to basically be diplomatic when she has to leave home and visit the country. To be honest, I care a lot more about giving her an outfit that actually looks like she could fight in it. Give her straps! Give her pants!
I see it as a change in the medium over time. The original comics adopted the vibrant and flamboyant costumes for two major reasons:
1. Limited color palette in early printing.
2. The tropes of superhero costumes- spandex jumpsuits and capes for men, colorful leotards for women- were inspired by the outfits worn by early professional wrestlers in the dawn of "character wrestling." Even today, it's not uncommon for male wrestlers in particular to make their entrance into the ring in a cape, and spandex jumpsuits only went out of fashion for wrestlers relatively recently- the Hulk Hogan era still made use of them frequently.
The DC superheroes, however, are nearing a hundred years old. As far as intellectual property goes, they've passed through more hands and more creative reimaginings than any other character outside the public domain, but the archaic symbolism of the Depression era still remains. It's only natural that people would experiment with changing that up, seeing how far they can take the character's signature looks before they become no longer that character.
Wonder Woman in the greek leather skirt-type outfit is nothing new, especially in the comics. Other than the color, it doesn't really look like Xena's costume. In addition, her appearance will likely only be an extended cameo so the lack of the red and blue could just be because she is not yet fully in her ambassador role. Likewise, we now know that Batman has more than one outfit in the film. Perhaps WW will too.
