BvS The Wonder Woman Costume Thread - Part 7

[Sharkboy]

in that episode she was most adorable

One of my favourite episodes of JL ever, that's the sort of stuff they could only get away with in animation, it was really fun to watch.

That's JMC's design

Cosplayer usually go for Classic Wonder Woman outfit, not sure why this one went with hot shorts and long socks.

Because not all cosplayers want to do the same thing..?

Who says W'S costume is "royal armor?"

Of course it's royal armor. Did you forget that Diana is royalty? And her costume is described as armor? 1+1

Problem is too many people forget that and focus mainly on her being a warrior which they equate with common Greek soldiers but even Greek generals wore fancier armor. Her armor should be classy because her armor is either royalty or a gift from the gods.

Still doesn't explain why it looks almost exactly like a modern-day one-piece swimsuit.

Because that's not what I was trying to explain.

Wonder Woman costume is utterly ridiculous on a serious environment.

Interesting article I'd never seen.

Apparently the costume discussion has been going on even longer than I thought

What if WW first appears with a greek/roman-esque battle armor/skirt that gets, eventually, all wrecked after a battle and later on, Superman provides her with kryptonian tech and WW makes a new suit/adaptation creating a tights/pant version?

What if I'd stop talking?

Exactly what I was thinking. They might try to say it's armor in the comics, but it makes for pretty ridiculous "armor."

 

[Mad Love]

That's why the costume's material shouldn't be mainly leather or ordinary human materials because it would be just as flimsy as a swimsuit.

 

[regwec]

Leather can be as stiff as a board, if it is thick enough and cured in the right way. I think it is a fairly sensible base for the costume, given that the Amazons appear to use pre-industrial manufacturing techniques and fabrics.

I love Superman but not only do I not think Amazons should be Kryptonian descendants but I also don't believe the Amazons need Kryptonian tech to make their armor or battledress. Heck, WW's brother, Haphaestus, is a blacksmith to the gods. He can make armor fit for a, well, goddess. t:

I would assume it is a coincidence. The loin-cloth has been used before, after all.

Those heels are insane, incidentally.

 

[jmc]

jmc will scratch all your eyes out.

What I learned over the years of doing various WW manips is that's it's extremely hard to please people when it comes to the design.

Has Gal's costume inspired this newly announced statue/figure:

I like the idea of Wonder Woman with a cape, albeit a shorter cape. I would say have the cape stop where the boots start.

Not even a little scratch?

 

[Gort Baringa]

Nice looking statue - except for the length of the cape, almost perfect.

 

[Lily Adler]

Wasn't there talk that we may get the loincloth look for Gadot's costume from the designer or was that all speculation fueled by a vague tweet?

Either way I expect the loincloth with the pants underneath.

 

[Nicky]

I personally think the costume should be reinvented altogether into a bad ass gladiator look, no stars or stripes. Whereas with Superman and Batman you can modernise them (remove the underwear, darken the colours etc) the Wonder Woman costume is a poor design and needs an overhaul all over starting with that ridiculous tiara.

 

[Lily Adler]

How about no.

Regular Amazons:

I appreciate your thoughts but you are missing a key factor... story. In most telling of her origin the "armor" is not ever meant for her but whoever was chosen from the tournament.

By the way the New 52 is only one of many portrayals of the Amazons. Some have them in futuristic garb and some very similar to WWs armor.

It can be based on Shunya Yama****a art of WW like many Kotobukiya figures.


EDIT: lol Shunya's family name is censored.
