    The Amazon princess, blessed with god-like super abilities, Wonder Woman is one of Earth's most powerful defenders of peace, justice, and equality and a member of the Justice League. She is considered an archetype for many heroines outside of comic book. Her initial origin depicted her as a clay baby brought to life by patron goddess Aphrodite, but in recent years she has been depicted as the daughter of Zeus and Amazon queen Hippolyta.

    This sounds worse than the pilot NBC made. At least that one was true to the character.

    I realize Wonder Woman is the most well known heroine, but she just doesn't work for tv. By the time you come up with a decent premise, overall arc, villains, etc for a Wonder Woman show you will have departed so far from the character that you might as well call it something else.

    Not to mention having a Wonder Woman show airing at the time of the Justice League movie when they have no connection whatsoever would be confusing to viewers. Especially when Marvel and Disney will have a SHIELD show that does connect to the movie universe.

    Exactly. Wonder Woman is being set up for a bigger screen than the TV screen. Even if the show did come on, it would end canceled after one or two seasons due to the movie any way. I mean, WB couldn't have Batman on Smallville or a live-action show featuring Batman because the Nolan films were out. Batman won't show up on Young Justice anymore due to Beware the Batman. I doubt Wonder Woman would be any different since the Wonder characters seem to be harder to use due to legal reasons. Just ask the creators of Justice League and Young Justice.

    Arrow is okay because Marvel beat DC to the punch by featuring Hawkeye on film first. Featuring Green Arrow in the Justice League movie would seem like ripping off Avengers. Green Arrow on TV is perfect because he's a B-Plus hero fans actually care about and who isn't likely to hold a movie any time soon.

    A live action show?...Ehh...I still think its better, all comic related things be animation. This way it would be like sort of watching a comic rather then reading...plus you can do more with animation. But....eh will see how it goes I guess.

    That's wrong, Mr. Guerero. I like ComcVine, but own up to your mistakes instead of coming up with lame excuses to cover yourself. When you spread misinformation--willfully or accidentally--you need to issue a retraction. You didn't publish the facts; you put in your own (incorrect speculation). I posted one of the first 10 comments correcting your assumption as Mr. Heinberg and Mr. Johns have, but you still let things grow out of control. For what? Clicks? I understand that this is an entertainment website, but that doesn't mean that you should lower the bar on journalistic integrity. I understand that you could have been swept up yourself or that you don't know everything about entertainment, but come on. With great power comes great responsibility. And being responsible means owning up to your mistakes.

    At least Iris is was actually a Greek name, unlike Diana :P

    I have to agree with people saying that WW would be better suited for the big screen instead of TV. And yeah an animated series would also be a great idea as well.

    I heard she is going to be a teenager in this one. I think that can work a lot better than the NBC pilot 2 years ago. They should go the Smallville route. My guess the CW will take this pilot because of all the success Arrow has been having.

    I hope it is done like the Percy Jackson movie. For season 1, every episode can fight a mythology character who is in disguise as a human similar to Buffy and the Grimm tv show. Diana also needs to do the whole football team.

    Thank you Geoff and Allan for easing the minds of their core fanbase. That name thing was really the only thing that made me worrisome. Now that that's been cleared up, this project sounds really good. Especially since we were close to getting this:

    Based on the description, Diana will be out of her own country and trying to get used to human life and ice cream. Maybe Diana will be spying for the amazons or just studying human cultures.

    You can't have a Wonder Woman show without Diana, unless the show isn't about Wonder Woman at all and instead about the Amazons themselves.

    I'm just glad they're moving forward with this instead of that NBC version.

    If no costumes are used, it could be like a typical cw high school drama show with a little bit of super heroics that hopefully will not be too expensive in special effects. If Diana does not have too many powers, it could look more like a kung fu show. The most expense in special effects could be with the mythology villains and can save money by having the villains disguised as humans most of the time.

    Chances are they were going to use the name Iris, & the internet backlash in fact made them pretend it was a code. Afterall, we got the bat-embargo & the aqua-ban on JLU BECAUSE they did not want confusion between two shows using Batman & Aquaman. Because remember, these studio execs are lacking any intelligence.

    My guess is more money can be made from live action tv and live action movies than in cartoons for kids. The recent Young Justice cartoon and Green Lantern cartoon both did not seem to profitable. I remember the old Smallville tv show and they used lots of embedded advertising or product placements inside the show such as cell phones, cars, etc. to make more money from advertisements to adults who have some money to spend.

    I really don't wanna see WW TV show but it might be cool. Arrow has been awesome show. I guess DC is also using the small screens to hype Justice LEague Movie like Marvel did with all the Avengers related movies.

    CW shows are able to survive on very few viewers like 1 to 2 million viewers which is why Smallville lasted 10 seasons. The new Amazon tv show can even last 10 seasons like Smallville. All it needs is a cute actress and a believable love story with Steve Trevor. Most of the earlier seasons of Smallville were carried by the believable Clark and Lana Lang romance and tons of love triangles.

    Doesn't sound too bad. They are making some changes and there won't be costumes etc.

    Could be worse, could be Wonder Woman, the series about Iris, an Irish-alien female cyborg telepath working for the CIA, played by a slim 4'9" blonde.

    We'll reserve judgement when more is revealed.

    What's the point. Just call her Diana, and make it apparent there's no relation to the movie... unless they get the same actress to play in the movie too.
