(CNN) -- DC Comics' Wonder Woman has gotten a
makeover.
For the character's
big-screen debut in Zack Snyder's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of
Justice," the familiar red, blue and gold costume has been traded in for a
bronzed ensemble with matching thigh-high boots.
The new look was
unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, with director Snyder sharing the
first photo of actress Gal Gadot as the Amazon princess.
Other
fans have been vocally disappointed, dismissing the costume as too "Xena:
Warrior Princess" and the actress as too petite to portray the fierce
fighter Diana Prince.

"Not
impressed," said one commenter on DC Comics' Facebook page. "Colors
are too muted. Nothing about this says Wonder Woman."
"Where
is the powerful, strong Wonder Woman we all love?" asked another fan on
Facebook. "She looks way too small."
Lynda
Carter, who played Wonder Woman on TV in the '70s, hasn't voiced her opinion on
the new costume -- but she did ask her fans to weigh in. (The verdict?
"She's no Lynda!")
Gadot
hasn't been the only "Batman v Superman" star to suffer critics. Her
co-star Ben Affleck had the lion's share when he was brought on to play Batman.
That
criticism didn't stem the excitement at Comic-Con on Saturday when
Affleck arrived at the "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" panel
along with Gadot and Henry Cavill, who plays Superman. Although "Batman v
Superman" is still in production, those present did get a taste of what's
to come.
Also starring Amy Adams as
Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and
Jeremy Irons as Alfred, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" will
open March 25, 2016.
