It seems that evil adversaries aren't the only problem that the new star of Wonder Woman has to deal with.
If the latest pictures from the filming of the TV remake are anything to go by, actress Adrianne Palicki is not only fighting crime but also fighting to stay in her costume.
The 27-year-old was spotted on several occasions almost bursting out of her tight-fitting outfit as filming continued in Los Angeles this week.

Palicki's costume issues came to light shortly after the first pictures were released from the set of the show in Los Angeles.
The snaps showed Palicki - and her stunt double running down the street during the filming of an action sequence and at one point jumping over the roofs of cars.

The original version of Wonder Woman was one of the biggest small screen hits of the 1970s and made a star of Lynda Carter, who played the superheroine.
The character was known for having a wealth of superpowers, including superhuman strength, superhuman speed and extra-strong senses.
Adrianne - who is a relative unknown - beat several other higher-profile actresses to the part, including Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks. The new version will also feature Elizabeth Hurley as Wonder Woman's adversary Veronica Cale.

Hurley recently revealed she was part of the show by posting on Twitter when she first got the role: 'Thrilled to be doing the NBC pilot Wonder Woman'.
She added that she will be playing the lead character's nemesis saying: 'I'll be playing the evil villain. Can't wait'.
Palicki is better known in America for her role in the drama series Friday Night Lights, but has yet to make a household name for herself.

The new show is written by writer and producer David E. Kelley, who brought Ally McBeal, Chicago Hope and Boston Legal to our screens.
The plot is described as 'a reinvention of the iconic D.C. comic in which Wonder Woman - aka Diana Prince - is a vigilante crime fighter in L.A. but also a successful corporate executive and a modern woman trying to balance all of the elements of her extraordinary life.

No broadcast date for the show has yet been given.

Shortly after Palicki was revealed to have the lead a photo of her appeared in the character's revamped costume, which ditched the 'big pants' worn by Lynda Carter in the 70s in favour of skin-tight PVC trousers.

However her outfit seems to have undergone some noticeable changes since the picture first surfaced earlier this month.
The photo featured the actress wearing a red and blue PVC catsuit complete with matching shiny blue boots.
But in the photos from the set the trousers are no longer rubber while her footwear is now red.
Reports suggest that the original outfit was not popular, with Hollywood Reporter blogger Borys Kit noting that fans had described the look as 'trashy'.
Other online commentators said the outfit looked 'cheap' and even suggested the combination of blue trousers and boots resembled 'footed pyjamas'.
Another added, 'she probably squeaks every time she moves'.

The costume also attracted some controversy for not featuring the patriotic American stars and stripes which featured on Carter's outfit.
Rival TV network Fox said; 'The new and allegedly improved Wonder Woman (a.k.a Diana Prince) has been given a head-to-toe makeover by artist Jim Lee, replacing her signature American flag decorated briefs with skintight…pants and purging the super hero of all her trappings of Americana.'
A spokesperson for the heroine’s creator, DC Comics, defended the new costume, telling the Fox : 'The latest evolution of Wonder Woman’s iconic costume is a central part of the latest comic book storyline.
'All of the classic symbols – patriotic (stars, eagle) and heroic (lasso, bracelets) – are ever-present.'
