Fanboy ALERT...first photo of Adrianne Palicki as the new Wonder Woman
'Wonder Woman': First look at Adrianne Palicki in costume -- EXCLUSIVE PHOTO
by Lynette Rice

Red alert! Or should we say blue? EW has obtained an exclusive first look of Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman — aka Diana Prince — from NBC’s reboot of the classic 1970s series.



What’s different from what we’ve seen before? Well, how about those shiny blue pants? And blue boots instead of red ones? Compared to Lynda Carter’s get-up, this body-hugging extravaganza de-emphasizes the patriotism and seems to play up the comic’s Greek mythology. And a special shout-out to those bracelets!

Wonder Woman is being remade by Boston Legal writer David E. Kelley, who has incorporated the superhero’s signature lasso, cuffs, and plane in the pilot. NBC promises the project, if picked up to series, will offer a serious, non-campy take on the DC Comics character.

Along with Palicki, Elizabeth Hurley (Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me) and Cary Elwes (Saw, The Princess Bride) have joined the cast. Hurley’s character runs a pharmaceutical company that is creating a drug that makes people stronger while Elwes plays the CEO of Diana’s company, Themyscira Industries.

6. As much as I'd like to see her legs, I will not miss that creepy, rounded, diaper thingy that Carter
wore for "shorts". I always hated that thing... Possibly one of my first fashion judgements after "Osh Kosh rocks!"...

3. I'm cool with it except for the kinda' high heels. It's hard to fight the bad-guys in heels.
But maybe not for Wonder-Woman. :)

11. I was thinking a nod to Ginger Rogers
who made every dance move Fred did, only in high heels and backwards.

16. Nikita of "La Femme Nikita" always fought the bad guys
stylishly dressed and in spiky high heels and she didn't even have super powers. So does Sarah on "Chuck". Ya gotta keep up the eye candy factor on these shows.

5. Not enough flesh. Lynda Carter will always be Wonder Woman, in my mind.

7. Silicone boobs? On Wonder Woman? No way!
I remember the original comic version. I wish they would stop messing with my nostalgia.

9. The original:


A trivia bit about her creator:

(William Moulton) Marston was the creator of a systolic-blood-pressure-measuring apparatus, which was crucial to the development of the polygraph (lie detector). Marston's experience with polygraphs convinced him that women were more honest and reliable than men and could work more efficiently.

10. Too much pornstar and not nearly as wholesome as the 70's version.
But I'll probably watch it anyway.

12. I once ran into Linda Carter in a diner in Vinton,LA in full costume.
She was doing some benefit in Beaumont, Texas, and we were racing horses in Vinton.

She came back to Vinton that evening and the whole bunch of us partied all weekend.

I could never get her to go to the track in costume, tho.

17. She's very, very pretty.
But Lynda Carter was and is a Woman, inside and out. I adore her on all counts. I'll of course give the new girl a chance, however.
