Why can't anybody, even a TV genius like David E. Kelley, get a Wonder Woman TV series off the ground? It was the same story with the Wonder Woman movie. At one time Josh Wedon was attached to that project and he couldn't make it work. The animated Wonder Woman movie that was released last year as terrific. If they can put Batman or Superman and now Green Lantern on the big screen, WW should be a no-brainer. Everything you need to tell a great story is already there. How great would it be for a Dad to be able to take his girls to a WW film and bond over that terrific female hero? Not to say that a boy wouldn't love her too but there is really a lack of female heroes in popular culture today. I am sorry but Sarah Palin just doesn't cut it.

yeah, I've never been able to figure this out, either. maybe it's because, unlike Superman ( Lois, Jimmy, Luthor, Metropolis, Smallville, Krypton, Daily Planet ) or Batman ( Alfred, Robin, Gotham, bat signal, groovy car, more recognisable villains that you could shake a batarang at ), there seems ( even though everyone knows who she is ) to be nothing absolutely set in stone with Wonder Woman. maybe the problem is that every time a new writer comes along, he/she ditches all previous continuity/history and tries to do their own thing with her, until what we've ended up with is the God-awful mess that is modern Wonder Woman comics. that said, why can't they just do a live-action version of the cartoon you mentioned? that was cool, and I'm sure it'd work as a film proper. hell, I'd settle for a decent animated series. just so long as they keep the star-spangled pants, and not that rubbishy Jim Lee outfit she's been knocking about in, of late. I mean, come on! if you can get a Green Lantern film together, SURELY Wonder Woman can't be that hard to do?
Comics writers also notoriously claim that WW is hard to write successfully.
Personally, I think it's a myth, a myth that's intimidating potential writers.
Maybe the movies should stop looking for a definitive comics WW and just remake the tv series. That's most people's "iconic" WW anyway.
That watercolor painting is my fav of all of these.
