Deadline report that DC/WB have a new show in the pipeline, with David E Kelly(Ally McBeal) on board to write and produce. According to them..



Details on the reboot are being kept under wraps and it is not clear if the new Wonder Woman aka Diana Prince will keep her signature powers and weapons, including her Lasso of Truth, her indestructible bracelets, her tiara and her invisible airplane. In the comic books, the Wonder Woman character has evolved significantly since she first appeared in a 1941 issue of All Star Comics and recently underwent a controversial makeover.

Wonder Woman fans have been waiting a long time to see her grace the big screen. The closest was the now defunct Joss Whedon movie from a few years back. We do have confirmation from WB CEO Barry Meyer that a movie is definitely in the works. Will this new show change that at all? We will (hopefully) find out in the coming weeks as DC Entertainment/WB will unveil their plans for their comics properties.

Of course we have seen the character on TV before as the lovely Lynda Carter played Diana in the 70s. Who would be a worthy replacement?

as long as its better than smallville,i'm in.

it needs the original costume from episode 1 & good acting from all cast members.

maybe wonder woman would work better on the big screen.

looks like we just found the show that will possibly replace Smallville when its over. And....cue the fancasts!

I think this is DC's way of measuring public interest.

I'll tune in if it means we get a Wonder Woman movie! Just don't let it drag on like Smallville.

Well I guess Blue Beetle needs to hold. I hope this turns out good. The CW's hands are on it I guess. >(

Many writers don't seem to get Wonder Woman. I used to like her but she keeps being called iconic, though all of these people who say this have never read the comics, and rarely see her as no other than the TV series' Lynda Carter, bad at that. She means nothing anymore.
Even the DC animated features can't get it right, though different from most portrayals. She should not be wowed at for having the ability to kick Superman's ass while being a female. I want a concrete and cool series.

Hopefully producers are considering Gail Simone to write a few episodes just to set a proper tone.
@Star: I'm on it.

This is good and long awaited. It is a more conservative approach compared to a major motion picture.

Great find ROR! :D This has the potential to be great...as long as they dont make the same numerous mistakes Smallville has over the years! Regardless, it would be a great pity if this reduces the chances of a Wonder Woman movie! However, with DC seemingly not that keen on making a JLA movie, it might not matter.

My choice is also Bridget Regan. I got the idea from CBR.
She's really hot and has shown some brilliance.

WB really seems to have no faith in Wonder Woman. They'll give Batman, Superman, Flash and Green Lantern feature films, but they want to put WW in black pants and put her on TV. Pity. I would hope they at least keep the classic costume, but I seriously doubt that will happen.

Considering the fact that it's taken them ten years to even hint that Clark Kent will finally don the Superman costume, I think the odds of them giving us the Wonder Woman we all know and love are just about nil.

this is another example of dc falling behind marvel in bringing their charactors to the big screen.

Let's hope it's nothing like this.

"I guess if you were to compare this to something, it would have to be Ally McBeal meets Xena. She can be like Xena and beat a group of people if she has to, but the drama of her life as a single woman living in Los Angeles is probably the priority here."

They haven't said the movie isn't happening in fact it says it is possible that a film will be announced by the end of the year. So chill out guys, let DC try and sort themselves out

I don't mind a tv show as long as we get the movie too. But this instead of? Arse.

@tazmaniak: I'm with ya on that one!

Maybe they will use the series to establish her, then make the movie. Or wait until Justice League to put her on the big screen. Here's my cast for the movie....

Not sure people with one network can appear on a different series.
And let's not get into whether or not Wonder Woman is iconic. She's known to people throughout the world as a symbol of peace and strength. SHE IS MOST CERTAINLY AN ICONIC CHARACTER......

This has been on Drudge most of the day. I was wondering when it would show up here as I was too lazy. Well done Ror.

I think a lot of DC characters are a tough sell on screen large or small. Wonder Woman is one of those. Hope they can pull it off.

First Sandman, now WW. They probably wanna do the show Smallville style. Boy, God Forbid we ever get these characters on the big screen. Talk about empty promises, huh Warner Bros.?

Can you imagine....10 years waiting for wonder woman to wear her bathing suit uniform???
She will be wearing a trenchcoat and a v-neck thight top with a spray painted "W".
Instead of The many kriptonians that actually appeared thru out the shows, well se greek mythology characters.
I bet she will be blond too. Or a ginger woman, or even oriental looking-latin chick.

I will be looking forward seeing Wonder Woman when they adapted the series when Season 10 of SMALLVILLE is done
