Michael Wilkinson kills it once again!
During San Diego Comic Con at the Warner Bros. panel, not only was a teaser trailer for the hotly anticipated Batman V Superman was shown but also the first look of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. In my previous article, Suits of the World's Finest, I constantly praised Zack Snyder's costume designer for how he was able to create superhero costumes that closely resemble their comic book counterparts. This one appears to be a departure color wise but that may be just attributed to the desaturation of the picture. Because if one were to change the filter of the image then it would be immediately obvious that this IS Wonder Woman.
For a comparison here is an image of Jim Lee's rendition that is close to the classic image:
While she may not have a cape and the star spangled skirt everything seems just about right. Her look is very Greek, and it has to be. She's based in Greek Mythology so her costume has to reflect it. Hell if one were to inspect the image of Gadot closely then one would notice that she has her iconic lasso attached to her belt.
Having said that, even though she looks cool I still remain cautiously optimistic about Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. I liked her in the Fast and Furious franchise but that is not really enough to determine if she has the acting chops to pull it off. She can definitely be a badass, she proves that with the Fast films and this picture. But her dramatic performance has yet to shine. So we'll see. But for now the trinity is finally complete.
