The anticipation is finally over, as a photo of sexy Adrianne Palicki in the new Wonder Woman costume has been released. There have been a few changes since Lynda Carter rocked the Wonder Woman suit in the 70s, but not so drastic that the superheroine is unrecognizable.
Instead of short shorts, bare legs and red boots, Palicki dons shiny, skintight latex pants and blue knee-high PVC boots. The rest of the suit, sans being a bit more shiny, isn’t too much different. The new Wonder Woman costume still includes the bulletproof bracelets, golden lasso, tiara and cleavage-boosting top. Unfortunately, the new suit excludes the white stars, which is sure to upset a few die-hard Wonder Woman fans.
I don’t know about you, but seeing Adrianne Palicki in the new Wonder Woman costume has me even more excited about the new film, even though I’m having trouble getting past the shiny latex. These new superthreads seem a bit, well, constricting. How will she be able to catch criminals swiftly if she can barely breathe while standing still?
