On the left, we have the first on set picture of Adrianne Palicki in the Wonder Woman costume. As you can see, the costume has change significantly from our first look. The shiny pants are gone, and the boots are now red. The stars on the legs were there before, but are a little more visible thanks to a change in the material.

The photo on the right is the same costume worn by someone who is clearly Palicki’s body/stunt double. Or maybe she’s making a weird face. Either way, she’s jumped up on top of that car, so we can look forward to Wonder Woman doing that in the pilot.

What do you think? Is this an improvement on the costume, like the old way better, or still think another direction was needed? Leave a comment below!

Via the DC Nation twitter, we now know who will be TV’s next Wonder Woman.

Adrianne Palicki, a 27 year old actress best known for the recently concluded series Friday Night Lights, will take up the role of Diana Prince and the alter ego Wonder Woman. After several attemps by DC parent company Warner Bros to bring Wonder Woman to the silver screen in recent years, the prospect of a TV series was recently taken up by veteran David E. Kelley. Kelley, whose credits include Boston Public, Ally McBeal, and The Practice. A pilot episode is expect to begin production soon for NBC, which will be extended to a full season order if successful.

Previously a Wonder Woman series starring Lynda Carter ran for 3 seasons from 1975 to 1979 first on ABC and then CBS.

Rob Pratt, an animator with Disney credits, has created a pretty brilliant little Superman cartoon. Its very short (about a minute) and the above video includes a message from Pratt about the production of the animation.

This is definitely worth watching, to see what one man can do with a little music for inspiration and little more than a pencil and a computer to do awesome hand drawn animation.

Conan’s new show is filmed on the Warner Bros lot, and that means he’s on the same campus where DC Entertainment is run. In this bit from his December 9th show, Conan sits down with Warner Bros Animation Creative Director Peter Girardi to grill him about some of the less awesome characters from the DC Universe.

Conan then joins Bruce Timm, character designer from Batman The Animated series and producer of many DC animated works that came after (Including the upcoming Green Lantern series). Timm takes direction on turning the host into a character worthy of joining the DC Universe, The Flaming C.

Telltale Games goes Back to the Future with it’s new five-part episodic game (and Michael J. Fox sound-alike), while Hasbro goes Back in Time with the Hub and new takes on its classic properties and cartoons.
