The original Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter, has seen the newly released photo of Adrianne Palicki in costume as the revamped superhero for David E. Kelley's upcoming TV remake.And Carter loves what she sees. The actress and singer, 59, tells E!, "I think she looks fabulous....It's a new look and, jeez, her body looks fantastic."
She added, "You know, I'm very sensitive to the fact that she will be compared....There's no getting around it. It is what it is. I would hope that people would cut her some slack."
Fox News has criticized the va-va-voom makeover as striving for a more globalized look, stripped of the stars-and-stripes patriotism that Carter's (equally campy) 1970's costume represented to many.
But is Carter worried that Palicki will make comics fans forget her own indelible Diana Prince? "I'm sure there will be people who say she looks better than me, and like her better than me -- and that's also fine," Carter said. "I want this story to be told again. I'm really excited. I can't wait to see it."

Lynda, you were the first. And still the best. Back in your day, your costume looked alot better than this new one. Adrianne is cute but she looks like a hooker with that red lipstick going to a holloween party.

I agree 100% Linda is hot and no one could take her place as wonder woman. As for this new costume put the stars back on it be proud to be American, patriotic is a good thing.
Lynda is just as pretty if not prettier!
Different actress, different look. The look of Wonder Woman has changed many times over the years. I think both women and noth costumes look great. It will all depend on the writers and the acting.
I'm seeing an S&M tone here.
Actually, Cathy Lee Crosby played Wonder Woman on TV in 1974, one year before the great Linda Carter debuted on the same network.
Chuck – I did not even realize the stars weren’t there. Good eyes. Yes, they need the stars back. I guess it’s not politically correct to be patriotic anymore. Might offend people to be pro-America! Sheesh!
It's totally unnecesary to put stars and stripes symbolism on her costume. Wonder Woman is not even American -- she's an illegal immigrant from the land of the Amazonian women.
Looks ready for action to me...
The stars are there; its on the stripes side of her pants.
I like the new Wonder Women costume it's pretty good. I will no doubt watch Wonder Women if it gets picked up plus I like Adrianne Palicki she is pretty good actress liked her in FNL. Adrianne will do a fine job as Wonder Women.

Double sided tape has several uses! The outfit is hardly anymore low cut than Carter's.
More people would watch the show if her boobs did fall out!

Sorry for the double post.
I think Lynda Carter looked way better! I don't like the red lipstick either. I don't think this was the best pick for the new Wonderwoman!

Lynda was beautiful and her height made her special--(oh that smile)! Both ladies have fantastic shapes, but did Kim Ks huge hips and butt influence the new girls selection?
I THINK THEY SHOULD BRING HER BACK AS WONDER WOMANS DAUGHTER,AND LET LINDA CARTER BE ON THERE TO, THAT WOULD BE COOL ,LOVE LINDA CARTER SHE IS MY FAVORITE , SHE IS BEAUTIFUL,,AND I DONT LIKE THE NEW COSTUME ,,LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING FOR HALLOWEEN SORRY,, CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE SHOW,,,

Lynda Carter will always be the original beautiful and gifted Wonder Woman.
The other girl is cute, but no Lynda Carter! Leave well enough alone.
