Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman in NBC's failed pilot
Warner Bros.UPDATED
The Wonder Woman costume for NBC’s remake of the 1970’s series has been revealed, and is stirring up some controversy — from Fox News.
On Friday, FoxNews.com republished a July 2010 piece which took issue with the loss of Wonder Woman’s stars and stripes.
“The new and allegedly improved Wonder Woman (a.k.a Diana Prince) has been given a head-to-toe makeover by artist Jim Lee, replacing her signature American flag decorated briefs with skintight…pants and purging the super hero of all her trappings of Americana,” the story claimed.
A spokesperson for the heroine’s creator, DC Comics, defended the costume change, telling the website. “The latest evolution of Wonder Woman’s iconic costume is a central part of the latest comic book storyline. All of the classic symbols – patriotic (stars, eagle) and heroic (lasso, bracelets) – are ever-present.”
Wonder Woman‘s costume in the David E. Kelley pilot was largely inspired by the DC Comics update.
