Well, considering that Xena's costume was modeled after Wonder Woman's, it's not exactly a huge surprise that a modernized Wonder Woman costume would look like Xena.
I do agree, though, that a lot of DC's movie-verse feels like it's too little, too late. I will never let go of the fact that Marvel got fucking Rocket Raccoon into a major motion picture before DC could get Wonder Woman, and not even in her own movie. As much of a fanboy as I am for Superman and as great as Batman is, it'd really be nice to see the rest of the DCU get some spotlight-- this is going to be Superman's seventh movie, and Batman's eighth-- ninth, if you count the Adam West Batman movie. I'm glad that they're finally getting their asses in gear and being serious about getting Wonder Woman and Shazam and the others on screen, but Marvel's already cornered the big-superhero-movie market, and did so with movies that weren't as depressing and self-serious as Man of Steel was.
So.....yeah, it does feel like they're just trying to play catch-up.
I will say, though, that DC's looking a lot better on TV. Arrow's been kicking ass (even if it is just "Green Batman"), the Flash looks super-fun, and I'm really digging what I've seen from Constantine. It's a shame the "A-list" heroes don't seem to be a part of the TV-verse, because they're doing a much better job of what the DC Universe should be like (at least to me).
