Didn't Wonder Woman change her costume in the comics recently? I think it's more appropriate to the times.

Both her costume & her origin was changed by writer J. Michael Straczynski, to the chagrin of many fans.

Wonder Woman TV Show Not Moving Forward
by SuperHeroHype
Jan 8th, 2011

Entertainment Weekly reports that the David E. Kelley-scripted "Wonder Woman" series wasn't able to find a home, as all the major broadcasters have passed on the project:

Warner Bros. TV was actively shopping a script from David E. Kelley that updated the period tale about an Amazon princess who battled Nazis and other bad guys during World War II. One source close to the project said the Wonder Woman team won't give up on the project, even though it's "not moving forward at this time."

The magazine suggests that one of the deciding factors may have been the cost of the series, which the studio requiring a license fee for its superhero.

NBC Picks Up Wonder Woman After All
by SuperHeroHype
Jan 22nd, 2011

Entertainment Weekly is reporting that NBC has picked up David E. Kelley's new "Wonder Woman" pilot after all! The network was the final one to pass on the show over a week ago, but that was before the new regime headed by chairman Robert Greenblatt was officially in place in light of the impending Comcast takeover. The magazine reports:

One factor that seemed to have sunk the Wonder Woman project the first time around was the price of rebooting the series, with the studio requiring a rich license fee to bring the iconic character back to life. But then, NBC has been down this road before: It rebooted Bionic Woman. Kelley’s take incorporated the superhero’s signature lasso, cuffs, and plane in the script, and insiders said it was a serious, non-campy take on the DC Comics character.

Now the big question is who should play Wonder Woman?

And we all know what happened to it, LOL.

Hopefully this Wonder Woman reboot doesn't tank.

McG Directing Wonder Woman?
He's rumoured for the TV pilot...

26 January 2011 | Source: TV Line

Depending on your view of the man’s directorial abilities, this rumour will either have you punching the air with hopeful cheer or reaching for the lasso of sorrow: McG is apparently the front-runner to direct the pilot for the new Wonder Woman TV series.

For a while, it looked like the character would never make it back to our screens. Long in development as a film, Warners decided late last year to think again and take a shot at getting their heroine back on the goggle box, where, after all, she was relatively successful in the first place. Step one was locking in veteran show creator David E Kelley to take a shot at bashing out a script which the Warners TV bods could to show to the various US networks.

Who all passed on it.

But then, in a sudden twist, NBC decided to take a chance on the show, with new executive Bob Greenblatt deciding that maybe Kelley – and, by extension, Princess Diana – deserved a chance to make it work. It doesn’t hurt that Kelley has also crafted a legal drama for the network (Harry’s Law featuring Kathy Bates as – guess what? – a quirky lawyer) that has gained decent early ratings.

With the ambitious script now back in play, the producers need someone to get it made. And while he hasn’t yet had a meeting about the job, Joseph McGinty Nichol is the favourite to win the task.

While he’s not exactly crafted the best films featuring kick-ass women (neither of the Charlie’s Angels movies is all that great), he does at least have solid credentials in TV*, having helped launch the likes of Chuck, Supernatural and, more recently, Nikita. Plus, with his cinematic career still ticking, he’ll only likely be on board to punch out the pilot. And for now, his participation is simply limited to his name appearing on Warner Bros. TV’s wish list…
