Fans have responded well to Gal Gadot's version of Wonder Woman, as she was hands down the favorite in DC's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Before she graced the costume though there was another popular Wonder Woman, the talented Lynda Carter, and it seems the new team found a way to tip their hat to her iconic take on the character.

DCEU films are typically filled with homages to other DC lore, and Wonder Woman will likely be no different. In fact, Twitter user @haarleyquin spotted one homage to a particular episode of Wonder Woman where Carter wore a piercing blue dress. While the cut is a bit different, the dress Gadot is wearing in the Wonder Woman trailer at the banquet is a spitting image of it, in what seems to be a nice nod to longtime Wonder Woman fans and Carter herself, who inspired a new generation of Wonder Woman fans during her time as the character. Otherwise, it's just a major coincidence, but with the DCEU, that is rarely the case.
Granted, it won't replace a full-fledged Carter cameo, but it is still a nice nod nonetheless.
Wonder Woman currently enjoys a 4.04 out of 5 on ComicBook.com's anticipation rankings. You can find the official synopsis below.
Wonder Woman hits movie theaters around the world next summer when Gal Gadot returns as the title character in the epic action-adventure from director Patty Jenkins. Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.
Wonder Woman is directed by Patty Jenkins and is written by Allan Heinberg, Geoff Johns, and Zack Snyder. The film stars Gal Gadot (Diana Prince/Wonder Woman), Chris Pine (Steve Trevor), Robin Wright (General Antiope), Connie Nielsen (Queen Hippolyta), David Thewlis, Elena Anaya, Lucy Davis (Etta Candy), Danny Huston, Ewen Bremmer, Doutzen Kroes, Samantha Jo (Euboea), Florence Kasumba (Senator Acantha), Said Taghmaoui, Eleanor Matsuura (Epione), Emily Carey (Young Diana), and Lisa Loven Kongsli (Menalippe).
