Marvel have shown them the only way this can be done and they're ignoring it, if they had a Wonder Woman TV series that'd at least be something to work with. @Kooster – none of the charaters are going to be done right in a Justice League movie made from a standing start.

If not, how many versions of Wonder Woman are going to flood the media? Aren’t disconnects between the various DC Comics properties the reason why everyone is forgetting Bryan Singer’s movie?

The poor quality of Singer’s movie is the main reason everyone is forgetting Singer’s movie.

To DC Comics and Warner Bros: Please focus on getting Wonder Woman right for the Justice League movie, and then move on from there! Why focus on a TV show?!?

It's the eternal question - why is Honey Boo Boo on and Firefly isn't? The business gets in the way of quality storytelling. How many truly creative and original shows end up making it?

Another misfire, Cathy Lee Crosby's 1974 version, was actually probably closer to being accurate. Lynda Carter got more right than wrong, but they just don't make all-ages dramas anymore on network TV. Everything has to be "edgy" with season-long story arcs. This is why the Bionic Woman remake failed as well. Kelley’s pilot just didn’t feel like Diana or her world in any way, shape, or form.

That's not to say we won't be happy with any comic book adaptation, The Walking Dead is a good example of something working. But superheroes are difficult. Smallville was good, but it's best years were while he was in high school with his legendary legacy still off in the future and us seeing glimpses of it. Once he moved to Metropolis it was kind of Superman Lite. Decent, but obviously different then the comic book and therefor disappointing. Bottom line is there are too many things working against us for us to be happy. First and foremost, the television execs are looking to make money, that doesn't always translate to accurate in terms of mythos. That effects #2 - special effects. Cost is way too high to make something look like a comic book, at least in a weekly format. Plus, if they're having this much trouble making the adaptation of Powers work WITH Bendis directly involved, what chance does Wonder Woman have. In the end it doesn't matter because WB is apparently serious about making the Justice League movie. I can't see them risking possible multiple spin-off movies with the individual characters to come up with a weekly series. They never let Bruce Wayne/Batman in Smallville for that reason.

It certainly had it's flaws but I thought it was no worse then Smallville. I wrote a review of the pilot on my blog if anyone's interested. http://landsharkattacks.blogspot.com/2012/06/tv-review-wonder-woman-2011.html I actually kinda liked it.

In the case of this Wonder Woman show, is he aware one of the huge, blaring errors was characterizing Diana as a violent sociopath?
