I think you may be onto something here Jinky :)

'Wonder Woman' star finally named



Little known actress Adrianne Palicki has landed one of Hollywood's most coveted roles.

The Friday Night Lights actress has been picked to play Wonder Woman in David E. Kelley's new TV series about the superheroine.

She'll play Diana Prince, a Los Angeles crime fighter who has a double life as a businesswoman, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Palicki will also star in the remake of action film Red Dawn.

I think they made a mistake not going with Joe Piscapo

Pity

So, dare we say this thread, older than most of our members. has finally been laid to rest?! :)

No way DW.

The main reason is that the casting that has been done for this is a tv show not of course a movie.

Now that it is going to be a tv show. it will get canceled after a couple of years but then people might start to think about making a movie. so we still have a good 4 to five years before that will happen.....

Well here we have it



Not crazy about the pants, but it probably looks better than the star-spangled panties would

Hated!
Where are the white stars and such? Looks like they decided to forget some of the iconic colors of WW uniform.
Oh, and who thought that the boots should be blue also?

I don't comment about the actrees because so far I haven't seen anything with her but from that pic she doesn't look so wonder...full...

Well, I can see that this incarnation of WW is based in the new costume WW has in her comic, I really prefer the original one, but in my opinion this costume works for the TV show.

They should have put the actress to do some excersise for those muscles.




PS: Besides, remember that in the movies they made modifications to the costumes, and they look good, except the new spiderman costume, that I HATE!!

Is it her mole between her eyes that throws you off from her being Wonder---full??

She looks damn good in that image that Dar posted... but damn that mole!

Oh, and Hawk... from what I have read... the TV show isn't even going to make it to TV. SO... so much for a movie. To bad she isn't a Marvel character and part of the Avengers... she would have gotten her own crappy movie to introduce her before the Avengers movie comes out.

The costume sucks ass! Wonder Woman's costume is kind of like Superman's in the respect that it is iconic. She has been in her iconic costume for the better part of 6 decades and never needed changing in my opinion. I don't know who's idea it was at DC that decided to change her costume into an X-men movie ripoff but I think it looks stupid. Put a picture of Lynda Carter in the real Wonder Woman costume next to Adrienne Paliki's Wonder Woman and you tell me who you'd rather be rescued by.

I may be the only one, but I like the new look. Yeah, it doesn't have the bare legs, but it is more practical and being tight looks sexy.

Doesn't matter. NBC has already gave it the Axe because the costume was too Riskey and inappropriate for TV...

Are you sure that they didn't give it the ax because it sucked?

Or because of her

Anywhoo, I wonder if any of you heard something about this:

I started watching the show Rizzoli and Isles last year and when I saw Angie Harmon, I immediately saw her as Wonder Woman. She's got the right look. She's tall and beautiful and she looks like a woman not a girl. One of the problems I had with the new Wonder Woman show was Adrianne Palicki, beautiful as she is, looks like a girl, not a woman. Know what I mean? She's got a little Lynda Carter to her look.

Too risky for tv? Linda Carter's costume showed more flesh than the new costume did...Hell, Smallville had riskier scenes with the bikinis by the lake...

you're right...and smallville had 10 seasons of similar boring chapters...except a few ones

PS: I've just downloaded the pilot...let me see it and I'll write my opinion.

I've just finished watching the wonder woman pilot, and for all those who didn't like or were having doubts about Adrianne Palicki as wonder woman let me tell you that she makes a wonderful wonder woman, she even looks great as diana of Themiscyra (without the costume), she's tall and her body is great.

Adrianne Palicki looks pretty hot in both costumes, even better that Linda Carter did (but those were other times) and she has the wonder woman attitude.

What I didn't like was how the writers adapted or in this case modify the character...in this series wonder woman is a business woman and has a multi millon dollar corporate named Themiscyra Industries and everyone knows that wonder woman owns it and she's also known as Diana of Themiscyra. Then she has secret identity as Diana Prince so she can get away from her superheroe/business life...that's too much identities for me.

I really didn't like the whole corporate approach, that takes away all the magic of been a superheroe, and the mysticism that wonder woman has.

In the pilot we can't see if she has an amazon origin (maybe they were going to explore that origin later in the series, but we'll never know).

In the end Adrianne Palicki was great as wonder woman (and I liked both costumes), but the adaptation was Poorly written, and I in my opinion that was what killed the series. I think the writers got lazy for not to consult any of the comics or the cartoon movies, they lacked the creativity to make this TV show.

But even with that story I think the series could have seen the light in the air...right know I'm thinking of the smallville series, we watched 10 seasons with almost the same plots (just remember whoever found a kryptonite rock atomatically had powers...and that happend in many seasons). Most of the chapters were Poorly adapted, and many times they looked like soap operas with super powers, but in the end we watched them all. So in my opinion the WB should have given the series an oportunity.
