I think the face armour is a bit much but other than that it seems pretty amazing.
I genuinely love that costume.

First announced back in September, The CW is developing a new "Wonder Woman" pilot in the hopes of bringing the character back in a regular television series. Today, Deadline reveals that the new take on the DC Comics heroine may actually focus on a new iteration of Wonder Woman with a character named Iris.
The site managed to get their hands on a character description being used in the casting process. They note that the network is looking for particularly tall actresses to play the part, asking for those who audition to be 5'8" or taller. The leaked description reads as follows:
She comes from a remote, secluded country and until now has spent most of her life as a soldier and a leader on the battlefield. Because of relentless brutality of her life at home, Iris looks at our world with absolute awe and astonishment.
So it's not Princess Diana, and life on Themyscira (or whatever they're going to call it) is defined by "relentless brutality." Why even pretend that this is a Wonder Woman series?

Merciful Minerva! So much for using code names to avoid internet speculation.
I must be the only person to think Arrow is lame. IMO its Nolans Batman with a Vampire Diaries feel to it. Any gritty that they try to do gets nixed when they force in the bad acting and lovey/dovey crap.As long as they don't mean much of the stuff in there literally, I'm fine...
What I mean is... Iris could be a casting codename... which doesn't hurt.
The description of Themyscira isn't all that bad, though not what we usually imagine it to be. The point they are probably trying to make is "Its lost to the world and you probably haven't heard about it"!
And if they can get the "looks at our world with absolute awe and astonishment" part right, I'd know that the heart of the show at least is in the right place...
Though WB has a history of messing non "Batman/Chris Nolan rip-off (Arrow?)" stuff up.
And the less said about CW the better!
I just wanted to throw in another name to see what you guys think... Lauren Cohan from The Walkin Dead.
That CW thing sounds really bad. I hope they rethink that.
