Lynda Carter, ass either). Glad this didn't one didn't happen. Sounds like ass (and not a really great, let’s say… Lynda Carter, ass either). Glad this didn’t one didn’t happen.

The superhero-as-politician angle would be genuinely unique for television, and a great fit for Wonder Woman, but TV too often assumes that we can't relate to the protagonists of any drama unless there are some obligatory scenes of them emptying cat litter boxes or somesuch.

If Batman drove collectors under ground, this would have driven them into the mantle of the earth. All Wonder Woman pilots pale before the awe and majesty of the William Dozier pilot.
