Wonder Woman is an icon. She is a part of the big three at DC -- the Trinity. However, with the exception of her direct to DVD movie, it has been increasingly difficult to bring her to the big screen.
In a recent blog post the discussion turned to one of the problems with Wonder Woman came down to her costume and it's inability to translate from comics/animation to live action TV and movies. Below is a look at some of the attempts to do this, which, in all honesty have not been entirely successful...
First Aborted Wonder Woman Pilot - Linda Harrison as Wonder Woman
1974 Wonder Woman TV Movie - Cathy Lee Crosby as Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman TV series - Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman XXX Porn Parody - Tori Black as Wonder Woman
Justice League XXX Porn Parody - Chanel Preston as Wonder Woman
Second Aborted Wonder Woman Pilot - Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman
Okay, whilst I admit that the Tori Black/Chanel Preston Wonder Women are not officially licensed versions (as well as being just an excuse to show hot women in a Wonder Woman costume) the reason why they have been included is to show that the costume does not work in live action. Though, to be honest, in the case of the Wonder Woman XXX outfit especially, they look like they were bought in a costume shop. The same could be said of the costume used in the aborted Wonder Woman pilot from 2011 (stills from the show, and Harrys Law, show more of a denim trouser was used than the PVC version above).
All this being said, the closest version we have had to a proper look for a live action came from Smallville when Lois played dress up to fit in at a comic convention.
With some tweaks this would make for an ideal version of a live action Wonder Woman costume.
