AMAZON: CW Are Hunting For Their WONDER WOMAN; Show Compared To SMALLVILLE

Why would anyone be inspired by smallville for anything? Smallville defeated its own premise by season 4.

Thanks @NerdyGeek but that was posted weeks ago. It'll save those that haven't seen it the trouble of finding the article though.

Smallville should have ended 5 seasons before it did, hopefully this show won't be as drawn out and dragged down with filler.

I won't watch it.

Make the freakin movie already.

Im not too worried about the movie, Superman Returns came out when Smallville aired, so they do know how to get stuff out on multiple platforms. I just wish this wasnt their first priority to get her on the small screen, instead of the big screen.

Chronicles female superhero’s life as a young Amazonian, before she becomes a warrior princess with super powers. Iris, comes from a remote, secluded country and until now has spent most of her life as a soldier and a leader on the battlefield. Because of relentless brutality of her life at home, Iris looks at our world with absolute awe and astonishment. She’s delighted -and just as often horrified – by the aspects of everyday life that we take for granted: skyscrapers, traffic, ice cream. It’s all new and fascinating and sometimes slightly troubling – to her. Iris is completely unschooled in our world, our culture, our customs. And she’s completely inexperienced at interpersonal relationships. She has no social filter, does not suffer fools, and tends to do and say exactly what’s on her mind at all times. She’s bluntly, refreshingly honest. She can tell when you’re lying to her. And she doesn’t have time or patience for politics or tact because she’s too busy trying to experience everything our world has to offer. There are too many sights to see – and things to learn – and people to care for. Hers is a true, noble, and generous heart. And she will fight and die for the people she loves. Iris is a fierce warrior with the innocent heart of a romantic – and she will fight to the death to make the world safe for innocents and true romantics everywhere.

Oh and please find someone better than Palecki or w/e her name is and not one of those skinny, shit model wannabe actresses that usually headlines CW shows either.

A tall, pretty, unknown that actually looks like she eats and can kick some ass would be splendid, extra points if she's naturally raven haired and can be classified as beautiful(yeah, yeah I'm asking for the near impossible I know).

given up with arrow is a little bit better than smallville as for wonder woman well it might be worth checking out for the babes & if you want a laugh.

it's CW what the [frick] where you fanboys expecting.

If its origin, then they wont start with superpowers. Gonna go for realism at first like they did with arrow. And that wont work for this character. They need to truly show the character.

@Splenda agreed, Wonder Woman, if done the right way, could be phenomenal

I highly doubt the producers of Smallville were inspired by and using "Nolan realism" on the show lmao

Smallville just sucked. Plain and simple. They had a low budget. That's why Darkseid was a mist that possessed Lionel.. That's why Doomsday was some Dr.Jekyll/Mr Hyde/Hulk ripoff.. That's why Brainiac stayed in human form

I personally was a fan of Smallville, and I'm currently enjoying what they're doing with Arrow. If they did this show the right way, I'd definitely watch it. As long as they don't completely de-power her. Her powers aren't that complicated to pull off anyway. She has super-strength and she flies. They wouldn't have to start the series off with her truth lasso or invisible jet of course though

Smalville suffered from the wait. The wait defeated the show. They could have simply made a Superman show when they started the blur thing and cut out all the nonsense. I think it wasn't that it took 10 seasons to become Superman but that 2/3rds through he already was and they just started to stall. In hindsight it the first few seasons would make for a good show. And the last few seasons would be great for the start of another. A blur season 1 with Superman for the rest would have been great.


Now this concept worked with Superman because of the Superboy angle. Wonder Woman has no early days like that. If the CW made some kinda of Spartacus type show then I would give it the go ahead. If their plan is treat it like some destiny thing then no. Arrow is handling properly. The origin is great but the now is more important.

Batman would suffer the same thing as Smallville. The origin is nice but the now is important.

Jessica Szohr as Wonder Woman:

And Arrow is proof that a Batman TV show would've worked.

Anyone who watches that show sees it's essentially a Batman knockoff, with characters in the show that could've obviously been Alfred/Robin/Catwoman/Gordon/etc instead.
