That's actually a nice design for the suit. I'd love to see that in a film. Don't care for the model, attractive for sure..but I don't think she's...WW enough.

devilshalo

Fixed.

Solid Snake

ha. I don't think Monica Bellucci could pull it off either.

RocShemp

Actually, she's a pretty realistic depiction of what a young WW, at the beginning of her career, would look like.

That said, I've always felt you need either Lucy Lawless or a woman like her to do WW justice.

Artman

I'd like to see Gina Carano as WW... she's really the most realistic/believable possibility imo.(the only one I'd believe in onscreen to be honest) With the 2015 release all but officially confirmed for Avengers 2 this wk... I think WB should look at 2016 for this film. Flash and WW solo films for 2014... Supes 2 for 2015 (he would be the Iron Man for this series). The Batman could act as the Captain America / introductory role for JL. Reynolds as Green Lantern sticks to JL films, and even than, he's minimally used... they have to triage that mess....even seeing him in previews would undermine almost everything.

Aquaman needs a solo film more than any of the others to fix his public perception. The general public tends to think of him as being lame character whose only power is talking to fish.

The best thing for Green Lantern would be to write out Hal Jordan and introduce Kyle Rayner. If they hadn't royally fucked up Parallax in the first movie, that would be easy to do...

So maybe Flash and Wonder Woman for 2014, Superman 2 and Aquaman for 2015. Green Lantern 2 and JLA for 2016. Batman doesn't need another solo film. Martian Manhunter doesn't either since he could be explained within the JLA movie. That's the "Big 7" that are practically guaranteed to be the cast of JLA. Martian Manhunter may be replaced by Cyborg if DC wants to go the new 52 route, but those have always been the Big 7. Secondary heroes like Green Arrow, Plastic Man, Hawkman, Zatanna, etc would be saved for JLA 2.

Gina Carano is an inspired choice combat-wise and in terms of general physicality. She's also quite a looker. I just wonder if she could sell the gravitas of what is essentially an Ambassador (who also happens to kick ass).

Michael Corvin

Great suit. Looks great with the leather jacket too.

devilshalo

Well, if you were Ash Ketchum, I would have had to put Megan Fox's name.

kgrogers1979

Yeah, its inspired by the JMS era.

Michael Corvin

Ahh... nice. They could easily pull that off on film.

Solid Snake

Yeah. Seems like JMS' take on characters at times lead to great new costumes. Thor for example got him a badass look. We only got the upper half of the look for the Marvel films...and they gave him crappy pants for some reason. They should've given him the whole damn attire..looks badass for sure.

That's funny, all the comic book fans seemed to complain about the costume change (like any change, unsurprisingly).

The difference is the JMS Wonder Woman was too drastic of a change. It looks nothing like classic Wonder Woman at all. The model in those pics took the jacket and put it on the classic Amazon warrior outfit, so it isn't too drastic of a change.

And saying comic fans always hate change is misconception. They hate bad change which unfortunately happens more than good change. Changing Wonder Woman so that she looks nothing like the classic Amazon warrior was bad change. Changing Dick Grayson from Robin to Nightwing was good change that everyone loved. There are also all the legacy characters like Wally West and Kyle Rayner that everyone loves. So fans don't always hate change.

And that costume didnt last long, and was replaced in the 52 with black boots/bottom

kgrogers1979

Yep. They fixed Wonder Woman, but they gave Superman some Iron Man style armor which is even more retarded than biker chick Wonder Woman. Why the fuck does Superman even need armor. Oh its simply because Iron Man is so popular right now, so lets give Superman the same type of armor even if it makes zero sense...

RocShemp

Actually, armor on Supes was long overdue. No armor made sense when he fought mere humans. However, he's fought plenty of guys with equal or greater strength. His fighting them with just his traditional tights is the equivalent of a Marine going into combat wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

Maxflier

While I agree that the biotech way he gets his armor is retarded as fuck, I disagree about him not needing armor. He doesn't NEED it as far as needing to be protected, but without it he would end up nekkid a lot considering the damage he takes during battles.
And yes I am aware that there was an equally retarded reason why his cloth suit could take damage without being destroyed.

stingermck

The short answer about Supermans new suit? Probably done because of the lawsuit. In fact, my conspiracy theory is the entire 52 was done because of it.

fumanstan

There was a positive comment here for the pics with the jacket though.

It's not a misconception to me. I read and pay enough attention to comics to see the reactions. Seems like "true" comic fans treat all changes as bad. It just takes some time before they stop whining and realize its often good.

Solid Snake

What lawsuit?

Solid Snake

Oh ok. That one. I thought that was done. It's still going on?

kgrogers1979

Well really if an enemy like Doomsday or Darkseid or Mongul is strong enough to hurt Superman, then armor isn't going to do much. If they can hurt Superman, they can tear through armor with ease. Superman wearing armor for protection is like children hiding under their desk to protect themselves against a nuclear attack.



Costumes being shredded to pieces is something you just have to take for granted. It also makes no sense how Bruce Banner's pants aren't shredded to pieces when his mass increases ten times to Hulk size. (Or maybe they are implying that Hulk has a tiny little Banner size penis which is why he is always so angry...)



Nah, the new 52 was done as a gimmick to increases sales and nothing more. The industry has been relying on such gimmicks for the better part of two decades now. If the new 52 was because of the Superman lawsuit, then they would have rebooted Superman alone with no need to mess with anything else.




Really more than anything else its just people on the internet that like to bitch and moan about everything. You don't see nearly that much bitching in real life. Comic fans on the internet always talk about how events suck and they are fed up with constant event after event after event. Yet the new Avengers vs X-Men event is the current number one selling comic. In fact, its the first time Marvel has even been in the top ten since the new 52 launched last September. Regardless of all the internet bitching, the vast majority of comic readers like events well enough to keep buying them. Events always sell extremely well and that's why DC and Marvel rely on them so much in recent years.

So really the idea of comic fans always hating change is really just internet nerds bitching and moaning about everything. Dick Grayson has always been much more popular as Nightwing than Robin. Tim Drake has always been the most popular Robin. Legacy heroes like Wally West and Kyle Rayner are well loved. If comics fans truly hated change, then none of that would be true.
