Fair play this trailer looks awesome.

Not quite sure how they're bringing Reboot Kirk back to life. But anyway... digging the red and blue uniform.

That's the traditional uniform, isn't it?

Yeah, this and the new Ghostbusters trailer have me reliving 1984 in the most marvelous way. Stranger Things S3 was no slouch in that regard either.

[Patrick Thistle]

Yes it's the traditional look.

WW wears red and blue because, according to the original story, it is the custom of the Amazons to honor their host country when fighting for a different country. Or something along those lines. I haven't read the comics in a while. I read the George Perez reboot version in the 80s, but that was in the 80s.

It was also to reassure parents and censors that she was not a communist or some other foreign corrupting influence on young people. And until the 80s, comics were printed cheaply, so only primary colors and simple designs would work. That's why superheroes look the way they do.


For more on the strange origins of the character, I recommend this film.

Bullet Baxter?

Indeed. It was an end of term Sports Day special. I think he stopped a baddie while wearing it.

Anyway, it was my first introduction to Wonder Woman. I have been confused ever since.

Looks good and plenty of opportunity for "man out of time" jokes for the Captain Steven who isn't a Super Soldier.

Odd to think that the original comics were shot through with BDSM.

I enjoyed the Blue Monday extrapolated soundtrack to the trailer.

Yes, sort of. Marston had some novel ideas. He also is credited with partly developing the lie-detector machine.
