David E. Kelley Producing New Wonder Woman TV Series
By Krystal Clark
Why does DC Entertainment keep doing this to us? Instead of making a live action, big screen adaptation of Wonder Woman, they’ve decided to put her on television — again. The last time she appeared in her own series was back in the seventies when Lynda Carter played the role. Now, according to Deadline, she’s back! Not Lynda, but Wonder Woman…
Who would be brave enough to bring Wonder Woman back into the homes of viewers, JJ Abrams, Joss Whedon? No, David E. Kelley! As in “Ally McBeal” and “The Practice’s” David E. Kelley. He has a history of creating female-centric shows and Wonder Woman will give him the opportunity to amp it up a bit. Sources claim that Kelley’s been interested in the project for a while.
We have no idea what his take will be on the character. There isn’t even confirmation that she’ll be the Diana Prince we all know and love with the same powers. Her flight, super strength, and golden lasso might go out the window. If they keep the first two things, I’ll be content, the lasso and her invisible jet can kick the bucket. They always irked me.
The show is going out to networks now and will presumably fill the void that will be left after “Smallville” goes off the air.
Do you want to see another Wonder Woman TV show?

Okay, so we're going to talk about David E. Kelley and not credit him for Boston Legal… okay, it's not like that got critical acclaim or anything…

Just get rid of any ideas of her having a secret identity. I have enjoyed Princess Diana as an Ambassador, rather than hiding behind a pair of glasses. George Perez gave her a new means of visiting patriarch's world and a new mission. I'd like to see that angle delved into with a new series. I just hope they don't mess with too much is what I'm trying to say here, and if they can get some of the writer's for the comic book on as consultants that would be a plus. (But, yes, get rid of the invisible jet as I never could understand how an island of women who separated themselves from the world of man for centuries, even ended up with a 'jet' plane to begin with. And Diana has the gift of flight given to her by Hermes, as explained in George Perez's revamping of the Amazon's and Diana's back story back in 1986. I hope the writers of this new series will refer back to that story line as they bring Wonder Woman to the TV screen. However, I am sorely disappointed that they refuse to do anything with her on the silver screen. Sad. Was it really that much of a task that they couldn't wrap their minds around the concept? I think their first mistake was getting rid of Joss Whedon. If anyone can write a female superhero, it's him.)
