CONFIRMED: Wonder Woman Pilot Rejected By NBC!

Mixed reviews and negative fan feedback have seemingly put the final nail in the coffin of the planned Wonder Woman TV show, with Entertainment Weekly revealing that NBC have passed on the pilot...

When the costume was first revealed, the negative feedback from fans was overwhelming. While a slightly redesigned version was met a little more positively, it would appear that the Amazonian princesses outfit is the least of her worries, as NBC have passed on the pilot. Here is an excerpt from the report over at Entertainment Weekly. More details can be found by clicking on the link below to head on over to the site.

Well that was fun (to make fun of) while it lasted. EW has learned that NBC passed on the much buzzed-about Wonder Woman pilot from David E. Kelley and Warner Bros. TV.

Why did the ‘ol girl fail to pass muster?

NBC isn’t saying for now but scuttlebutt reveals the pilot earned mixed reviews at test screenings. And then there was all the online blow back about the costume – which seemed to de-emphasize the patriotism and play up the comic’s Greek mythology. Ultimately, the wardrobe department went back to the drawing board but that didn’t seem to save the project.


I'm no expert when it comes to what happens next, but as with that Aquaman pilot a few years back, it looks like we can say goodbye to the chances of seeing Wonder Woman on the small screen. Whether this will damage the characters chances of making it to the big screen is unclear. What do you guys think about this? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!

Hopefully this means that the next time they try to do WW they'll actually go with a full-fledged movie... and do it right of course...

That's what DC gets for making bullshit, following Nolan's dumb ass idea of separation, and not doing a shared universe.

I could care less.

If anything, WB is going to take this as proof that Wonder Woman doesn't work in live action, which is kinda what they already think.I doubt she'll have a solo project anytime in the near future.

I heard the pilot was going to be aired as a TV movie.
I'd like to at least see it, to criticize what might have been.

YAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!! Good riddance to this bu||sh!t!!!! YAY! I'm f[ri]cking ecstatic now!

Now we can look forward to a Wonder Woman live action movie. It should be out in about 5 years until someone at WB will have enough balls to rise to the challenge and make it happen.

yeah, the only reason i clicked on this article is because it said it was toast. David E. Kelly should leave comics the [frick] alone and go write something about wealthy, good looking doctors, cause we can all relate to that shit...

"And then there was all the online blow back about the costume – which seemed to de-emphasize the patriotism and play up the comic’s Greek mythology."

Since when did the Greeks dress in cheesy vinyl and cheap plastic?! OBVIOUSLY the suits killed this (and good riddance), but they don't have a #$@!-ing clue as to WHY it was a GOOD DECISION! The costume SHOULD have been something like this:



She's an AMAZON PRINCESS! Screw 'patriotism', they should have played upon the Greek angle and kept the costume more true to form:



...but what the !@#$ do I know - I'm just a FAN!

Wooowww didn't see this coming. But guys, do your really think this means a live action movie for WW? I dont think so. I could be wrong though. She certainly deserves it but if they cant pull it off as a TV show....
