Best commercial to ever come out of Mexico

[dreadedlurker.insanejournal.com]

I looked and looked but I didn't see this video posted anywhere on the site. So, I present: the best commercial EVER. It features our favorite three women of comics. And it even has DC approval. (translation of the commercial and some comic covers featuring the Joker under the cut)

It's a commercial for a department store called Palacio in Mexico.

Translation: "We women...have always known... that a change of clothes makes us powerful."


Also, for legality, a comparison of Bolland's sketch of the Joker on a Wonder Woman cover, and the finished product.

The original sketch:


and what ultimately hit the stores:



I think we can all agree the original concept was infinitely better. BTW, the sketch was originally posted on scans_daily by...um...somebody really cool.

By all rights, shouldn't the Joker be the one recoiling in horror at what Wonder Woman is wearing?

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Amen. That whole get up is vile. she looks like a hooker...

[bluefall.insanejournal.com]

The Joker actually loved Diana's 90s look. Kind of tells you something, doesn't it?

[mullon.insanejournal.com]

Not if its the same outfit.

[salamangkiero.insanejournal.com]

Oh, motto. Totally. need brain bleach for image of Joker in '90's Wondy costume.

Biker shorts is not a good look for WW.

[proteus_lives.insanejournal.com]

I approve that commercial!

Why is diana why that choice of clothing, was she experimenting with a new look?

[minarho1.insanejournal.com]

I think this is when Artemis was Wonder Woman for a while and took the official costume. The artist himself said that the design was a rushed deal. Still does not excuse the fugliness, though.

Ah I didn't know that, thanks. :)

I love that commercial...it definitely doesn't look like a crappy fan film. Also, I love the jiggling while running!

The sketch looks like Joker is flashing Wonder Woman (especially considering her eyeline)...which is almost as disturbing as what she's wearing.

I think that was the point...and why DC made him draw a different cover! It's too bad, the ultimate cover is really pretty boring.

Why I haven't seen that ad before?
It's pretty neat, actually :)

I remember seeing that commercial on TV, and yes it was awesome.

Oh and on that sketch I know there's a pocket in Joker's trench coat but it kind of looked like a boob and it threw me off a little there for a moment.

[dreadedlurker.insanejournal.com]

Well I'll never see THAT picture the same. :O

[greenmask.insanejournal.com]

Aaaaahaha. Can't unsee, indeed!

[greenmask.insanejournal.com]

It's TRUE, too! The advert.

[janegray.insanejournal.com]

That's one awesome commercial! :D

Video needs to go behind the cut.

Re: Mod Note:

[dreadedlurker.insanejournal.com]

Huh, I thought it was within the limits size-wise. Oh well, it's behind the cut now.

Re: Mod Note:

We prefer that all embedded video be cut, because it can load deadly slow for some people.

Re: Mod Note:

[schmevil.insanejournal.com]

And thanks. :)

DC, you are wimps. That cover would have been AWESOME.
Also, cool commercial; well put-together. I note that all three characters are dressed in the television versions of their respective costumes, rather than the ones found in the comic - do the old Batman and Wonder Woman shows have a following in Mexico?

[mysteryfan.insanejournal.com]

Fun commercial!
