• But mother she's actually a blonde and looks more like Eliza Cuthbert.

• fanboy? i've never read A comic book, much less a wonder woman comic book. i just like large breasts and there are a distinct lack of them on television...sofia vergara and christina hendricks sporting the only two recurring impressive racks on all of network television.

• Whedon is a guy, you know.

• Man this is gonna suck. :(

• i should make a note, i know its not here!

• i should make a note, i know its not here!

• Hey i think this picture is HEAPS better than the one on the post :D http://www.wwtdd.com/2011/02/adrianne-palicki-is-our-new-wonder-woman/

• NOOOO!!! David E. Kelly raped my horny adolescence!

• *inputs two cents* Works for me. Someone shoot the writer. *two cents: given*

• The girl's cute but she doesn't fit the part. They should've given it to Joanne Kelly. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1162399/

• Now that I see the leading lady, I'm getting some good vibes about this show. Seriously, it's sounding more and more like "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman", only with no Clark and a Super Lois. If handled correctly, the show could add more depth to Diana's character other than what Rob had appropriately described and could offer a new direction for Wondie that would, God willing, make her an interesting and distinct part of "The Big 3" once again. Mind you, that's a very big "if", since we're talking about Wonder Woman, after all.

• Adrianne deserves a chance to prove if she can handle the role for the pilot may not take. espically since David proved by making wonder woman come off as batman with the crime fighter at night ceo by day. and also giving her the personality of alley mcbeal. if the execs are casting they should really do one thing good for the show and start talking to Lynda Carter to come on board as Hypolita. though if the show includes some actress playing Giganta down the road i will give it a chance.

• I call shenanigans on this comment. This implies that there were <i>good</i> parts to Ally McBeal and Smallville.

• Funny. The pilot ep has a segment about her complaining that her breasts aren't as big as her action figure. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/02/17/tanit-phoenix-audition-tape-for-wonder-woman/ I guess fanboys like you have made Wonder Woman turn all body conscious like Ally McBeal.

• Dammit. I can't unsee it. I don't like them apples!

• From the Wonder Woman and Gail Simone forums... there are already plenty of gay male and female readers of Wonder Woman's book. So the character already appeals to them. To me it's Hollywood thinking this female character needs fixing before realizing what works already. Then again DC does the same thing itself.

• Um.. lots.

• Okay, the current comic book form of Wonder Woman is a mess of ideas rolled into one. Invisible Jet, American Colored themed costume, etc, etc. But, I don't think the solution of bringing her to the small or big screen is to put in even more elements that clash. Y'know, stuff like being a CEO of a company. Why not just trim the fat of the original, keep what makes sense within the core idea and go? What's the core? Wonder Woman is an ambassador that goes out into the world to stop wars. I think the best version of WW is Paul Dini & Alex Ross' version from "World's Greatest Super Heroes" She's trying to stop wars/conflicts. Often times meeting resistance due to politics and the fact that many of the conflicts are in parts of the world where women are not treated with the same respect as men. This to me sounds like great stuff that writers love to sink their teeth into. Go with that, get rid of the flying invisible jet, change the costume to look more like old Greek armor. You can keep the red,blues, and stars so she still visually reads as WW. Wait? What? Why would she dress in USA colors? Well, I always thought a great writing device that explained this was in the Wonder Woman animated DVD. Hippolyta says that it is tradition for them to garb themselves in the colors and symbols of the country they're visiting as ambassadors. I was like, "yeah that works." There you go Rob.

• I don't know if pandering to a particular demographic is really the way to go here. Wonder Woman has name recognition, which should at least get people to check out the first episode. If it's well-written enough, I'd hope people would come back to it week after week. The description of the pilot script as it is, however, doesn't sound good at all. While part of the reason I have negative feelings about it is because it seems to be screwing up a character I really like, I'm not sure I'd watch it if it were a completely new character specific to the show.

• personally, i was hoping for someone with much larger breasts.

• For all the people freaking out about the pilot. The script for the pilot will likely not be the actual script they use to shoot the pilot. And, the first pilot they do, will likely not be the one you see on TV. For example, I would bet dollars for donuts that the "Chairman" aspect will never make the TV show. Once they film it, they'll be able to determine if it works.

• Whedon would have provided a light comedic touch to all the action, she would use "show created jargon," she would express doubt and insecurities about herself, and she would be would have had her pining for a male character. Oh wait.....

• Considering he was already Ares, that would have been a perfect choice.

• Except, that David E. Kelly had nothing to do with the shows you mentioned. Also, Adrianne Palicki is more talented then most of the people that starred in those shows. So yeah, except for the fact that Wonder Woman will have a very talented director/writer and a talented actress, it'll be just like that. Can you calm the fuck down? I wasn't a fan of Ally McBeal, but Picket Fences was one of my favs. The last season of the Practice (when Spader joined) was the single best thing I've ever seen on TV. He was also involved with Life on Mars (American Verison). The guy has talent. He chose an absolutely perfect actress to play Wonder Woman. He's including Veronica Cale, so it's not like he's ignoring the comics. He's simply fitting it so it can be a network TV show. Just like they did with the Adventures of Superman.

• It's actually not that bad....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbZnf9QLKEI

• Yet another reason why I hate kangaroos

• She didn't really age much in KC, made of clay y'know

• the late Kevin Smith

• I want to know why she isn't actually of Greek origin, and also not molded from clay

• Well, in the comics she's "Diana of Themyscira" and her alter ego is "Diana Prince". Not really sure why they would give her the island's name as her last name. After all, what's wrong with "Prince"? Nice and normal, just what a superheroine wants for an alter ego name.

• We live in hope, right? Praying to Zeus for comedic hyperbole.

• she strikes me as a little young to be a CEO

• Since Wonder Woman's target audience is women and gay people, shouldn't they target that audience, as opposed to the 30,000 people that read her comic every month? Making her more relatable to that audience is a good thing for the character, isn't it? Clark Kent and Peter Parker are nerds that are picked on and wish they could be this or that. Why is that a bad thing for Wonder Woman? As for the breasts commment, I know several beautiful women that are confident, but still think there's something wrong about something.

• Oh that was hilariously awful. I almost want to see it just for the badness. But seriously, that has to be a parody right? That can't be the real script.

• Oh for more villains, Sarah Shahi as Circe, Jennifer Lopez as Cheetah (who still looks amazing at 40 and always seemed to be in that age range), Nathan Fillon as Hercules, Peter Dinklage as Dr. Psycho, and Dianna Agron as Silver Swan. I can't think of anyone for Ares though.

• Sounds like they're combing Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent into her alter ego.

• Was I only one who thought her last name was 'Prince' and not the island where she grew up? Whoops.

• OMG! That would be awesome!

• Whose responsible this?

• That STILL sounds cocked up. Why would the billionaire AND the assistant have the same 1st name? And wouldn't people connect the two faster then they would connect Bruce Wayne to Batman Inc?!? "What? No, I am NOT the billionaire Diana, I'm her assistant, Diana! And neither me nor her have ANY connection to this Wonder Woman person, whose 1st name turns out to ALSO be Diana.."

• Sounds like the billionaire won't be a public figure and she'll be mostly playing the assistant on behalf of the billionaire then.

• I heard about this when I signed into AIM this morning. The article also mentioned: "Not only will Palicki play the star-spangled crimefighter, who's now based in L.A., but she'll also play her alter-ego, billionaire CEO Diana Themyscira and Diana's mousy assistant Diana Prince." So, she's gonna be playing Wonder Woman, Diana, and Diana's assistant, Diana?! What the shit?! I hope that was some kind of shit-journalist typo or something, 'cause that sounds fucking retarded....

• Love her! She also played Jessica in Supernatural, she was the pregnant lady in Legion and something else I can't recall right now...

• Oh god that's bad. Reeeeally bad.

• Bwahahahaa! I'd still hit that, though.

• It's being written by David E. Kelly, who created Ally McBeal

• There was an attempt at an Aquaman show? Do TV exec really hate money that much? (That would explain a lot of other decisions though . . .)

• This makes me want to cry and punch a wall at the same time. As much as I enjoyed Ally McBeal, this is fucking Wonder Woman...nothing good can come of this. I hope this is either incorrect reporting or that the script will be overhauled.

• My ideal Wonder Woman/Diana Prince is and will always be Lynda Carter. She could be Wonder Woman today. Well, at least a Kingdom Come WW.

• Because she doesn't fit the rest of Power Girl's appearance. You know. Boobies.

• Sorry, but in certain shots of her, Palicki resembles Matt Damon as a female impersonator. For example: http://snarkerati.com/profile_pics/Adrianne-Palicki.jpg

• Slutty & Mythic? Worked for Xena! It's just in time for the next generation of openly & closeted nerds drooling & fapping needs.

• From the people that brought you ten damn seasons of Smallville, like half a season Birds of Prey, and the Aquaman pilot on the channel that brought you Heroes and now The Cape.. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?! Really.. I almost feel bad for the actress.

• But...but...she's still gonna dress like a slutty version of the American flag, right?...Right?!

• I was thinking Power Girl too. Kind of makes you think David Kelly has never seen a issue of the Wonder woman comic.

• This is technically her third... Sort of. In Smallville Season 3, she played a character that was brainwashed by Jor-El into believing she was Kara and given Kryptonian powers, aka. Super-girl. While her character technically was not super-girl nor another official DC character, she did play a part in Smallville and that part played the part of a DC character. So... Let's just say this will be her "2nd and 1/2" DC character role. And BTW, with her as WW, I will certainly be tuning in for at least for a few episodes. Even if the writing, acting and effects are shit, then at least you'll get to see her... Hopefully actually in costume instead of the Superman Suit cock-tease they've got goin' on over at Smallville. Damn them!

• Another actress's test video has appeared online. Supposedly she's reading from Kelly's actual pilot script. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/02/17/tanit-phoenix-audition-tape-for-wonder-woman/ Yes. They have Wonder Woman very image conscious and complaining about her breasts not being big enough compared to her action figures. Great Hera, can they start off on the wrong foot any more?

• Sadly... that's pretty much what the script sounds like. I think at this point, even if we're lucky, this turd will end up only slightly better than the shitfest that was the Birds of Prey TV show.

• It's too bad Andy Sidaris is dead - he could do Power Girl justice.

• She seems as good a character as any. I just hope that, if there is a God, Christina Hendricks will play Giganta.

• Why didn't they get Tori Black to do the mainstream version of Wonder Woman too?

• I'd be a lot happier if this was a Joss Whedon project. Seriously, I tried to read that article looking for any glimmer of hope that this show wouldn't be utter trash, but at this point I figure it will be a mix of the worst parts of Ally McBeal and Smallville.

• lol, why am I picturing Ally McBeal: Wonder Woman here?

• No lie, I would sacrifice babies for a Power Girl film or TV show.

• Hair colour is of no relevance when casting an actor...its the easiest thing to change. Plus how many women do you know that presently have their natural hair colour??

• If she's blonde anyway and going to play a superheroine that's a CEO, why not have her be Power Girl?

• I like Friday Night Lights and think Palicki is quite a good actress. She's also TALL and doesn't look like she'd blow over in a breeze, which is good. But IF this http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2011-02-02/wonder-woman-a-sneak-peak-at-david-e-kelleys-script/ is accurate...o.O Hopefully the music noted there are just placeholders or something.

• Why is it they never cast a woman with the natural hair color of these characters? Shortage of beautiful brunettes in Hollywood?

• Having not watched <i>Friday Night Lights</i>, I have no idea about this actress, but I do get a kind of Linda Carter vibe from the picture. If she can do some action scenes, she'll probably work, seeing as how I don't expect a David Kelley show to focus on action sequences. My guess is the bashing will come less from true WW fans and more from fanboys wishing she were spilling out of her top gratuitously.
