Wonder Woman: Still missing in Action
The news just came out: after months of hype and internet rage, NBC has announced it ispassing on the new Wonder Woman series. you know, the one that had her as a weight-obsessed CEO by day, and a jet-travelling crimefighter by night. The one that had this costume. So uh yeah, I guess we deflected that bullet.
The thing is, as EW reports, this is hardly the first attempt to update Wonder Woman- in fact it's merely the latest in a long list of failed attempts to put Wonder Woman on the big screen. It's odd in this post Buffy/Alias/Kim Possible/etc. age, but Hollywood is really skittish about putting out a film with a superheroic female star. Which kind of sucks, actually.
