I think I Dream of Jeannie should have a gritty reboot.

More “tactical,” perhaps? Flat Lycra just looks cheap.

Well, Wonder Woman dommes her fans for charity:

At least it doesn’t look as crappy as whatever material they used for the costume in NBC’s mercifully-aborted “Wonder Woman” show from 2011. That one had the unfortunate distinction of looking more like something from a low-budget porn parody than the costume from the actual low-budget porn parody.

Hard to tell in this pic. I guess cowgirl-style boot heels would be OK (even some male superheroes wear those) but skinny heels would be ridiculous.

The same thing that might be difficult about it for anyone who doesn’t want to look like an elderly woman sitting at an Atlantic City slot machine.

I refuse to believe that Wonder Woman has cellulite.

What’s “appropriate footwear”? She’s a nigh-invulnerable Kryptonian who can fly.

She could wear bomb-ass Lady Gaga shoes and still kick the crap out of the nth incarnation of the Brainiac-Luthor team.

With an easy answer: there was a Superwoman.

She was a journalist from the future (a descendent of Jimmy Olsen) who traveled back in time to learn the true origins of a Superman-related holiday called “Miracle Monday.” (Superman defeated the Devil. Don’t ask.)

Inspired by Superman, she uses a variety of 29th-century technology to fight crime — she’s a less shady Booster Gold, basically.

I hate everything about this: the muted colors, the listless attitude, the goddamn shadows that make everything so fucking hard to see.

It’s just wrong. Supergirl is not some drab, po-faced mope; she’s been a bright, peppy wiseacre from her very first appearance:

She’s Elle Woods, not Bella Swan.

I was certain this story, and even @Jason_Bass comment was about the costume design overall and the upcoming series. I could be wrong though.

Am I safe to assume you think highly enough of her as a person to be trying to knock her off a pedestal? I may have missed your larger point, could you clarify??

I’d vote for it.

Blue Pants! Blue Pants! Blue Pants!

As far as I remember from reading and watching Superman as a kid (I didn’t stick with it, shame on me), he’s got the super powers to pretty much handle any problem. And when it comes time to coordinate:

SM: “Hey bat-boy”
BM: “I’m BATMAN”
SM: “Sure buddy. Ya got any transcievers in your handy-dandy toolbelt there?”
BM: “Yes, I do, try not to break it, they’re very expensive.”
SM: “Sure thing sport…It’s not like he’s short on cash.”
BM: “what was that? I heard you with my bat-ears, say it to my face.”
SM: “Did you just say you want hay-maker to your face, bat-kid?”
…
“no sir.”
“That’s what I thought”

Aquaman: “Nobody ever asks if I have cool gadgets…or remembers my birthday.”

I think the character would look better in a blue dress, but red, white and gold was indeed a bold choice on their part. :wink:

If they dressed her in this costume then you’d be saying that it’s too ugly, or worse, too slutty.

37

She has to fit for today, not yesterday. The version you love a lot would give people diabetes and kill them.

38

And if they had to cast from Glee they should have gone with Becca Tobin. She’s athletic, funny and has a wicked smile.

For the same reason that Superboy was a “boy” until he grew up to become a “man” and “Superman”. Supergirl, in the comics, is still a teenager.

As others have said, it’s really difficult to judge the costume fairly as the lighting is darned awful. I’m not a fan of the burgundy, versus a lighter shade, but that opinion could change a LOT with a daylight photo. Regardless of lighting, I really dislike the use of tights. It’s a reasonably traditional costume otherwise.
