Yet Another Attempt at a Wonder Woman TV Show

[Hector]

Didn't watch Smallville, don't watch Arrow...and will automatically pass on "Amazon".

It's like these hack producers are embarrassed to just name them Superman, Green Arrow, and Wonder Woman.

Besides, I'm not into 90210 crap...it's an automatic pass from me.

[PNGwynne]

They've been afraid to embrace their roots for a long time. Like it's not cool to be a "comic book" company...

Is it wrong to long for the days of "Batman '66"?

Not as far as I'm concerned! I really liked Lynda Carter, but she never fought one darn villain of her admittedly small Rogues' Gallery.

I'd watch a Xena-style show, but a rehash of Smallville leaves me cold. I want costumes & heroics mixed with the drama & a dash of humor.

Is that Shakira wearing some Oh, Mighty Isis outfit from Party City? Holy, Bean Tacos your premise sounds terrible at best! Smallville was the MOST BORING thing I had ever seen. The appeal of Clark Kent vs Superman is just more bland than an evening of watching paint dry while listening to Celine Dion on a friday night shortly after eating a steaming bowl of Ramen Noodles! Wonder Woman without her outfit,lasso,invisible jet,frequent trips to Paradise Island and Steve Trevor is what WW is all about. Ok, the Cheetah was never on the show and they replaced her with Formicida, the ant queen however, its these crazy elements that made WW fun. I havent even mentioned the spin transformation and the eye candy that is Lynda Carter. Yeah, Smallville was just wrong. I have no idea whom it was that thought this idea was amazing?

I hope that no one ever attempts to create another WW show by casting some horrible young,sad creature like the failed bomb that was the "WW 2011" monstrosity! That was a complete disaster not to mention it kinda ruined it for WW to get ahead. There isnt much of another promising Goddess like Lynda Carter to play the part with the same wit,charm,natural beauty nor charisma that she gave to the Amazon! everyone keeps tossing all these pretty faces no of complete D list, disposable pretty faces with not much acting chops. I think these "men" imagine what their choices look like in some cheap costume instead of the character's main focus which isnt her looks! All this smutty thinking is very akin to the way most illustrators have been drawing the character in thongs with her butt showing. The trailer for the failed pilot showed the opposite with a sloppy young gal wearing blue pants? It's terrible that no one has grasped the character so well since Lynda Carter. And let's not mention that terrible movie with Crosby. What the hell was that all about anyway? Did the director for that 70's boredomfest never read the comic nor bother to learn that Wonder Woman wasnt even a blonde? Yikes

I never count out CW. Their creative team finds a way to bring a fresh approach to DC product. Look at Arrow and how well it has been received? And Smallville ran for ten years. If there IS a way to get it done, I imagine CW will flush it out.

[Bruce Banner]

The series is said to be a Smallville-esque take on the character...

[johnmiic]

The concept for this show has as much chance of success as Retro-Action DC Mego-like figures at Mattel.

[Operation:Mego]

I hope it's more Xena then Smallville. I'll watch it for sure.

Yes, exactly what I was thinking.

Here's who I think should play 'Diana' (as hilariously said by Wrathdemon. ):

Not sure how old this picture of her is, but she looks like she would make a great young Wonder Wo - I mean, Diana. Plus, she's been on shows shown on CW before (Supernatural) so she seems like a good choice all around.

I doubt the costume would even look that good. Probably just a white robe type of deal.



And played by a actress who doesnt even resemble the character in any form.....

[Figuremod73]

^^^^^^ I would prefer if Lynda played WW mother. i think that would be a better role for her......

I wouldnt mind that either. Has she even been given a chance to do voice work in any of the cartoons?

I've been thinking. They will run this **** show for 9 years. Even develop a fan base because of the half naked women and a love for this "Diana". No Wonder Woman name or costume will be used. She'll be wearing an outfit like this....remember she's just an "Amazon' LOL

I call this "how to make a successful show without really trying". No wonder WB/DC is losing all their readers (and probably viewers, as well)

[Mego Magyar]

Lots of hot half naked, "sweaty wet" (sometimes horny) women (as far as TV can push is without being dirty).

I'M IN!

[Cosmicman]

Sounds like an excuse to publish Wonder Womanesk type stories but not use the secret "Wonder Woman" name.

This will be like that hunk of **** Smallville and they will call her Diana for like 9 years and she will have powers and you won't see a Wonder Woman costume on "Diana", as long as they can run it without someone complaining. Pretty close?

They'll have this mad scientist woman turn up that turns into a Cheetah woman from splicing DNA. Diana has to stop once in awhile but they will never call her Wonder Woman. Diana will have to stop this mad Cheetah woman every so often.

Then we'll be visiting the Amazon island a lot. Lots of hot half naked, "sweaty wet" (sometimes horny) woman (as far as TV can push is without being dirty). There'll be some horn dog name Steve Trevor that shows up and he likes Diana but remember everybody, she won't be called Wonder Woman. This is Diana. TV is so predictable.

Oh sure, they'll probably give her the lasso and flying powers (maybe) because I'm sure this show that wants to stay family happy will avoid and invisible jet.

Remember, half naked women make money and give men woodies......Diana will raise lots of money with stupid people. Just take away the "Childish Wonder Woman" theme like they did with Smallville and half America will be hooked on a lady that will look something like this....Sad but I'll bet they go this route.

Sounds like a little bit behind the curve...considering Heinberg wrote "Wonder Woman" 6 years ago...

that's not the kind of Juice that counts in network TV... I'm sure his Grey's Anatomy and Gilmore Girls credits are much more important than his short WW comic run to the execs.

Also keep in mind what's been successful... Smallville, and what hasn't been when they try something more straight up comic book... Birds of Prey. I'm not saying a more comic book approach can't work for a Wonder Woman tv show, but they certainly can't replicate The Avengers, Dark Knight, or Spiderman on Tv with a limited budget for effects, stunts etc. Of course the networks will try to graft on previously successful formulas onto new shows. The success of Smallville came from the WB/CW's attempt to find a replacement for Buffy, and I think Smallville owes as much to Buffy's formula as it does to Superman.
