KnightWing Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 It's still happening, and it's worse than I feared. Deadline has the first bit of plot description we've seen for Wonder Woman, describing it 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, DAMMIT, NO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 This is going to flop hard. WB needs to stay closer to their properties so things like this don't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 That is a perfect encapsulation of the problem. I'm gonna steal that and use it in future complaints across the interwebs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, if they wanted that, why didn't they just do Power Girl? Ya know, since that's her character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Wonder Woman's one of those characters like the Hulk. Famous enough to know, not well-thought out enough to have a standard formula for her stories. Both are constantly reinvented as each fresh writer decides to take a new stab at a story style that works. Spider-man is the perfect example of a character that's really easy and natural, because his stories and environment rarely change, especially since the shift to a single book.

SuaveStar Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Adrianne Palicki to Play Wonder Woman in NBC Pilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 She's 5'11' and pretty, but I've never seen anything she's been in. Apparently this is the second time she was up for the role. She was up for it in the Justice League movie that never got made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Apparently this is the second time she was up for the role. She was up for it in the Justice League movie that never got made. I thought Megan Gale was cast in JLA? Or was Palicki attached to one of its fifteen previous incarnations? Either way, she definitely looks the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I just remembered that, too. Wasn't, she, like, a dead girl that Jor-El temporarily brought back to life with new memories and a creepy personality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Elizabeth Hurley is playing the villain in the pilot. From the script that got leaked, it's looking to be Veronica Cale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I KNOW! Even if the pilot isn't picked up, I can so see myself watching it for bad movie nights when it inevitably gets leaked to the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
