I don't care for the costume.

The overall design is okay, I agree the belt is not prominent enough to replace the red trunks. The New 52 design shows how important that is, although I'm not fond of the cadet collar there. Otherwise I think the texture on the suit is a little bit busy, there's hardly a square inch not covered in some sort of marking. Blending texture and smooth parts would help.

Batman's costume looks good, although it still runs into the difficulty of how to make the cowl look right. Some angles it looks like he has no neck. I do like the shorter ears, makes him look a lot more ready to throw down.

Wonder Woman's costume, the more I see of it, looks better and better. It almost looks like actual ancient Greek armor, while still evoking the classic Wonder Woman look. The skirt in particular solves a lot of problems that comes with having an actual actress wear such a costume.

[up]Personally I like the collar on Superman's New 52 look, but that's just me. Aside from that, yeah, mostly agree with you. Wonder Woman's movie design strikes a good balance between greek hero and superhero.

[up]They said similar to Injustice Gods Among Us.

I do think it could be cool but we need to see it first.

It could be that the costume is designed to mitigate the lack of certain Required Secondary Powers. Like helping to safely discharge static build-up from running at high speeds. It's pretty popular today to show the ins and outs of how the costume is made so that it's not just stylish but practical and necessary.

lol practical and necessary. he has uber powers. the suit he wears doesnt matter as long he isn't running with earth tied on his back. it just needs to look cool. cyberpunk base is a design choice so it doesnt match the tv show like the speculation reports. theres a suspension of disbelief that isnt asking to be broken either way with or without it. the only thing a newly designed suit can do is offer better use of his speed force and protection from things that otherwise the speed force would normally block out.

high tech tactical armor would be better appropriate for the lesser powered individuals. even so i dont think anyone from the audience cares unless its brought up in the story. Those scenes are always techno babble exposition anyway. but with all how "grounded" and "real" DCCU is i guess it's valid to discuss

me personally i like the Injustice version because it just looks better aesthetically though the classic one is iconic.

Why did we not get a world's finest movie 40-50 years ago? Or a world's finest cartoon? I don't like the dark and edgy DC Comics! *goes and reads some all ages DC Comics and Showcase Presents World's Finest*

Or a world's finest cartoon?

40 years ago? Let's see... back then, that was the seventies, and they had Superfriends then. So why to bother with a World's Finest cartoon when you already have those two (and Robin) along with Wonder Woman, Aquaman and the greatest superheroes ever, Marvin, Wendy and Wonder Dog?

It's also worth mentioning Batman and Robin appeared regularly in Superman's radio show as early as in the forties.

For the Aquaman role Jason Momoa has been reading Geoff Johns run with the New 52.

“So, there’s not really a lot of spoilers I can give away. But the research I’ve done on the New 52 stuff with Geoff Johns, and just researching who he is, he’s amazing. He’s got a lot of powers. He’s extremely tough. He’s super strong. But I’m excited about... there’s a big beautiful map laid out and I wish I could carry it with me. It’ll come out soon enough and you’ll see just how big it’s going to be.”

I appreciate the fact they are doing effort to at least check the source material (or in Wonder Woman's case, take comic book writers as advisors). A nice change from, say, Fant4stic.

Ben Affleck talked about the Solo Batman film saying if he can direct it he will but he isn't sure

Though since the film hasn't officially been announced he might be trying a swerve so he doesn't get in trouble by saying he is directing the movie before it is officially announced.

Sounds okay, but I am sceptical about them revealing so much about this plot.

According to Goyer, WW will be portrayed with "nobility and dignity"

This is a response to fan casting Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. Nathan Fillion said at one con that he would like to play Booster Gold if he plays a super hero. Fans than said they wanted him to play Booster Gold and Alan Tudyk to play Blue Beetle.

Alan Tudyk said if it meant working with Nathan Fillion he would love to play Blue Beetle.

This isn't a confirmation of the movie happening or if they are even up for the role.

I'd honestly chuckle if someone tried to make a Wonder Woman film with Diana as a secretary, or a maid. Or a Taco Bell worker.
