Wonder Woman
 

Deadline.com is reporting that NBC has decided to pick up the pilot for David E. "I just love making shows about lawyers" Kelley's Wonder Woman series.

A corporate executive?! :ohwell:

Leave wonder woman alone g-dammit!

.....why....?

Cuz she was perfect the way she was... at some random period in time.

I'm a huge Wonder Woman comic fan myself (own them all) and I'm not very excited about this at all. Doesn't sound like it has much to do with, well, Wonder Woman.

I'd prefer a feature film... but this is a step in the right direction I guess. So long as it's good.

Does this mean the Justice League movie would have to do without WW too now? That would kinda suck (in that would have only the obscure appeal anymore), but would kinda be a good thing (one less opportunity to use her as a scapegoat for ****ty ideas).

I doubt this... thing... would have any bearing on WW's role in a JLA movie.

Why not? Supes and Bats were pulled because of their movies. A simultaneous TV series interpretation can just as easily confuse an audience.

It works the other way around. Smallville never had any bearing on any incarnation of Superman 5.

The best part about this is that for the last month, David E Kelly had been shopping his WW show around, and no studio/station would touch it cause it would cost too much. I'm guessing somethings getting ****ing cut drastically for NBC to pick it up now after previously passing.

Well it probably has to do with Comcast now being majority owner of NBC as of this week.

Couldn't care less what she'd like, frankly.

Bleeding Cool got a draft of the pilot script....it's....bad....

So she has a 3rd guise cuz everyone else knows her main ones....ugh

Wonder if they're related to the nerds from X-Files? :P

Well, this Wonder Woman:

Wonder Woman phone home?

What? She has a hanger?

Ugh

Hense her need for 3 identities?

Fun...

Ooh the irony...

The Hanna Montana of businesswomen....uh...

Goody goody gum drops?

this will suck a monkey through a straw

you know I was starting to feel cautiously optimistic about this after balking at the thought of having Wonder Woman get a live action series because of the the way she been treated recently, and thought "what the hell, this might be good." But after reading all this that all just went down the tubes.

I think Wonder Woman should just be left alone. No one can seem to get her right anyway. She is eighther made into a 2D negative feminist carature, a violent bitchy Xena clone, or she is overly commercialized. It's sad she has so much untapped potentcial.

Look at Wonder Woman in JL/U, she was cool but after a while it kinda seemed like the writers didn't know what else to do with her and couldn't resist making her come off as self rightous and snobby. She ultimately came off pretty 2D compared to other female justice league female members. Wonder Woman couldn't hold a candle to Shayera (Hawk Girl) as far as depth of character and progression went. Hawk Girl easily had best storyline of any of the female memebers of JLU. I don't anything as indepth and involved as what happened with Shayera could be given to Wonder Woman.

The casting sheet for Wonder Woman has been revealed. Filming reportadly starts March 15th. So we'll be hearing who's playing who VERY soon. Here's the casting sheet for the characters:

Henry Demeter? As in the fertility/harvest goddess? Acts like an uncle but possible love interest? Uh....what?

Goddamnit. >_<

Aaaand Wonder Woman has been cast. Adrianne Palicki who was recently in Friday Night Lights as gained the role....somehow...urgh

And I just realized where I have seen her in. She was Siren in the Aquaman pilot and fake Kara/Supergirl in Smallville.

I don't know this actress, is her acting ability decent? At least she isn't ugly, but there is a part of me that wishes they would get a more ethnic looking actress to play Wonder Woman.

She's also Sam's girlfriend from the first episode of "Supernatural."

someone on youtube did a video responce on the upcoming Wonder Woman show. Some of the things I agree with but at the same time I think he is hoping for a Wonder Woman that just isn't going to ever happen.

you know who I think would do wonders with Wonder Woman (pun intended) Greg Wiseman the creator of Disney's Gargoyals. The female characters in Gargoyals where nuanced, strong, and intelligent with engaging personalties; with out disrespecting any of the personal strength or integrity of the male characters. Because there is nothing worse than when the male characters are turned into mindless simpltons or a male damsel-in-distress just to make the females look capable and powerful. Rather the males and females in the show complimented each other. Like Elisa and Galioth or Demonma and Galiath (when they where together) or Xanatos and Fox. Even the "bad guy" females in the show like Demona and Fox where multi faceted characters. Imagine Wondy was handled in a manner that Elisa Maza was handled? That would be one kick ass Wonder Woman. However I know Greg is busy with other projects and it would never happen.

Well we could always hope Wonder Woman shows up in Young Justice.. :P

Elizabeth Hurley has been cast as Wonder Woman's nemesis Veronica Cale (who is apperantly CEO of an eeeevil company doing experiments on people).

Tracie Thoms has been cast as Etta Candy.

So it looks like Etta's not gonna be fat in this series...or white....

Triple-postor! :x

Cary Elwes has joined the cast as Themyscira Industries acting CEO Henry Detmer (formerly Demeter). He's the fellow who's the uncle type who's a possible love interest for Diana.

I've loved Cary Elwes ever since Robin Hood: Men In Tights!

Well here it is. Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman. Looks like they're going for the current costume....

http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/upl...re-Costume.jpg

She needs some muscle.

Sounds ok i guess.

looks bad, really bad.

Ms. Palicki is a nice looking lady, but I didn't think the Wonder Woman costume could get any sillier than it already was!

The thing about the classic costume that makes it work is that it is so established as an American pop-culture icon. It's ridiculous and impractical but because it's been around so long, we all just accept it as right. The shiny blue pants, however... not so much.

The least they could have done was retain the classic red boots.

I don't hate it.

I don't like the material but I don't dislike the costume.

I am also indifferent, seeing as how I'm not a huge follower of Diana.

Justin Breuning, who was last seen in the Knight Rider reboot playing the son of David Hasselhoff's character, has been cast as Steve Trevor Hmm

Well... I guess he isn't going to be a World War II vet, eh?

Well it would seem that the initial image we were given of Wonder Woman's outfit has changed. From the looks of some footage of her running down Hollywood Blvd it would seem that she now has red boots.

U can see the footage here:

Red boots will help a lot
