It seems like they are going with the same subdued color scheme that they did with Superman in "Man Of Steel." This isn't unusual, I've noticed that they also gone with a more subdued...and simpler...costume design in the animated version of Wonder Woman.

It could be that it takes so long to get a movie made that the actor/actress you would choose might not be available when it comes time to make the actual movie. As an example: When I first read about the movie
Speed Racer, Johnny Depp was on the list to play Speed when he was young enough to play the role. I know that a Wonder Woman movie has been in the work for a long time (I just checked Wikipedia and the woman chosen to play Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) had not yet been born when the Wonder Woman movie was first proposed).
When it comes to comic-book-based movies, I usually hold judgment until I actually see the movie to just how the actor/actress performs despite how far he/she might be from the way the character is in the comic. An example of this is Michael Keaton. Back when it was first announced that he was going to play Batman people thought he was a bad choice, yet he proved himself in the role despite not being what people expected. In the same way, despite looking physically right for the role Ryan Reynolds didn't work for me as Hal Jordan in
Green Lantern (he might have worked as Kyle Rayner).
And now for a change of topic:
The Compact Cassette (commonly called the cassette) was originally intended for dictation use. Due to this it was not suited for music since it had a relatively slow tape speed (1 7/8 inches per second) and narrow tape (1/4 inch). However, the development in better tape formulations (like metal tape) and technology (such as Dolby Noise Reduction) made cassettes capable of moderately good reproduction of music.
