They say when one copies something – it’s a compliment!
We wonder if Lucy Lawless is feeling that way these days!
Yesterday, we reported how Zack Synder made the Comic-Con crowd go crazy when he premiered Wonder Woman’s outfit for the new Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice movie.
And subsequently the director made the world go nuts when he tweeted it out for everyone to see!
But we definitely noticed the similarities that the costume, worn by actress Gal Gadot, has with the one that Lucy Lawless wore on Xena: Warrior Princess! And we weren’t the only ones!
Here are some tweets slash reactions after the costume was revealed:
So apparently, #WonderWoman and Xena shop at the same place… #NotHappy

That new wonder woman costume reminds me of xena the warrior to much

Whoever envisioned the new #WonderWoman clearly had #Xena on their mind. Normally I would think thats good, but in this context I dont know

Even Lucy Lawless herself commented on the controversy and it was awesome! Here’s what she wrote:
#Xena meets @Spartacus? At least she's not a 'feminist'!“@girlgamer: What do you think of new #WonderWoman look?? pic.twitter.com/Okzvj11y7z”

We LOVE it!
Maybe the costume designer for the new Wonder Woman outfit KNEW about the controversy this would cause, and decided to go ahead with it anyway for the publicity!
If that was the case – then they did a fantastic job!
Because we’re sure everyone will be talking about this up until the movie comes out! Which at this point – we can barely wait for! We want to see it so bad!
