    Probably just shooting footage of her running, doubt they were going for close up shots. Demo wise I'd assume they are shooting for that 18-35 males with female interest as well.

    Honestly, I think now that the colors have been muted I think it looks a lot better, similar to what they did with the Captain America costume while keep true to the comic. The redesign for the show was done by comic artist Jim Lee if I'm not mistaken, below is a version of that costume by Adam Hughes.

    Looking at those pictures....this looks terrible.

    Too bad, really. WW is a great character with a rich history. Sucks no one can seem to do anything with it.

    Still not won over by the costume but I like how her boobies are swaying as she is running. That tells me they are real and fabulous. :grin:

    Barely shooting the pilot, no confirmation if it'll get picked up or not.

    With all the buzz it's garndered, I wouldn't be surprised to see it on the NBC schedule in 2012.

    No dice for WW, honestly from reading the pilot script, it wouldn't have surprised me if it got cancelled within its first season. You need a DC comics guy to write it and push it, nothing against Kelly but, this is WAY out of his comfort zone, which isn't bad but hard to pull off with an iconic character like WW.

    I'm wouldn't be surprised if this ends up on CW, Syfy or Lifetime. There's a lot of places to put a crappy superhero girlpower show on.

    The Costume killed it. . . . [Smallville sucking doesn't help either]

    I like WW but I am not sure she is as ICONIC as Batman or SuperMan
    enough to carry a show . .. .

    If i comes on . . I know I would watch it.

    [Hell . . I thought the BLADE Series wasn't that bad]

    Each his own, of course, but Smallville lasted 10 years, had a STRONG fanbase and was able to wrap up it's story. WW's writers and NBC could only dream it's show would have gone so nicely.

    Smallville was a different animal, however, because it was basically a prequal to Superman while WW would have been the actual story. It's problem, in my viewpoint of course, was two fold...WW's original show was good and that generation was already dissecting this show's costume and script. Secondly, unless you read the comics or the cartoons, people haven't had a movie or show about the character in decades and thus a disconnect has occurred. Not a fan of JJ Abrams but get him or Joss Whedon on the job and watch out...WW has a ton of potential but just needs someone with a vision for comics and their origins.

    They killed The Event with that break and then nuked the series. NBC is never going to gain any traction when they drop series every season and start up with new "epic" stories that fans know they aren't going to get to see an ending to.

    I honestly think Community is the best comedy on TV right now. 30 Rock is still solid, though seemed better a couple of years ago. I quit watching The Office after the fifth season.

    I've been liking Parks and Rec more and more ever since I realized that they've moved out of The Office's shadow.

    The Wonder McBeal idea never sounded good. I do not want to see an episode of dancing CGI babies.

    Lesbians and trannies, from what I can tell. A growing demographic.

    It's a stunt double running on top of the cars. An older woman with different face and an obvious wig.
