Wonder Woman has consistently been portrayed since her creation as beautiful and voluptuous. Carter was both. This girl is reasonably attractive (though no beauty) and by no means voluptuous. She looks like a college athlete with implants. That just isn't Wonder Woman.

Carter was beautiful, but you have an odd idea of voluptuous if you think she was such back in the 70s. She was skinny. Sofia Veragara is voluptuous. Or Sophia Loren for that matter, if you want a contemporary.

These days, both Veragara and Loren would be considered "fat" unfortunately. You gotta be a Size -2 or something...

I wouldn't call that skinny. She's got a pretty good hourglass figure going there. Though I'll agree, the WW costume gave her the impression of having a larger bust than she actually did, just as Lucy Lawless's Xena costume did. (I remember back when the show was on, I was watching with my older sister, and there was a scene where WW was talking to a teenage boy who came up to about her chest level, and my sister said something about her costume's likely impact on the boy, something like "giving him boob shock," though that wasn't it. I was still pre-adolescent at the time, so I hadn't really thought about it until my sister mentioned it.)

I'm not going to argue about the definition of skinny - but I will argue voluptuous since that was the claim I was debating. The fact that Carter has a waist that slightly indents from her coltish hips and utter lack of womanly thighs - does not make her voluptuous.

Did I mix you two up?? I try so hard not to do that...

I'm sure it's just me, but I like the looks of the stuntwomen doing these things more than a lot of the lead actors. Athletic women are more attractive IMAO.

I thought the same thing. She not only has a great body, I think her face is more attractive, too.

I confess that when I went thru the entire photo series, I didn't get that there were two different people in those shots. I guess I really don't know Adrianne Palicki enough to recognize what's a stuntwoman and what's the actress. I *actually* was surprised that the actress was running on top of cars, without a harness or wires of any sort (I assumed that these are bystander/paparazzi shots) and was kinda freaked out by that.

Thanks for mentioning the stuntwoman, C.E. Evans. I would probably have gone thru life thinking Adrianne was a total (almost foolhardy) daredevil.

You're right. I'm the first to admit Carter has no ass. But from most angles, she certainly looks curvy, and she is indisputably busty. And compared to the current choice, she's downright zaftig.

Damn, that must be the infamous leaked audition scene where she's voicing a sense of inadequacy about her bust size compared to the doll. I was really hoping they would've dropped that scene before shooting. Well, hopefully it's at least been revised somewhat.

I like it that she's wearing all-white. Kind of an homage to her standard outfit during the I Ching era in the comics.
 
I'm having trouble seeing how no one in the story is going to be able to recognize her. Being a corporate executive is not exactly low-profile.

Everybody knows that the CEO and Wonder Woman are the same person. She also has a secret civilian identity.
