Would David E. Kelley’s proposed “Wonder Woman” series have been better or worse than “Heroes,” “No Ordinary Family,” “The Cape” or “Alphas”?
Now we have more with which to judge:

You know, if they had just showed some of this fighting action stuff...
by tvs michael pawlak
People would have been more onboard with it. At least for TV, the fight choreography is pretty decent for a superhero show.

The costume still looks like they bought it off Fredrick's of Hollywood Halloween Collection
by tvs michael pawlak
-
That sucked But her tits did look good
-
no 'wonder' this didn't get greenlit. she looked so uncomfortable calling them puppies tits... I can only guess women have a hard time denigrating themselves.
-
That was bad.
-
Better then Heroes ever did. Still not how to Wonder Women.

THREE FUCKING TIMES TODAY WITH THE STARCRAFT SCREAM, NEW BEATIES VID, THE FRANK MILLER TRAILER, AND NOW THIS WHEN THEY GET CRUSHED BY THE CONTAINERS

It'd be nice to see the whole pilot, just for the hell of it. NBC probably did the right thing, not bringing it to series.

I mean, teeth are not unimportant, but that's not where I would've gone next.

The action sequences are actually far better than I thought they would be
by GeneralKael
The sickbed scene is a bit weak but the action scenes are pretty good for TV. I take it from the business meeting that WW would have no secret identity, similar to Justice League animated. I didn't really see a need for her to have one anyway. Does she have a secret identity in the comics now? I think that instead of releasing the lame costume photo they should have released the action scenes as this might have made people give it a chance. I would have been much more interested to watch it - what they did release made it seem pretty lame - these clips would have made me want to at least watch a few episodes
-
is the best decision ever made.
-
Also killing the dude with a night stick was funny shit.
-
That was... awful.
-
the fight scenes and the lasso effect, even the chase scene look well done. And Palicki is much prettier than I thought she'd be. too bad the writing and acting are terrible. We need a good Wonder Woman movie. Get Joss Whedon's script and film that fucker!
-
The action is awful and unrealistic. Script is nauseating. Even perfect tits and ass can't help that
-
That fight choreography wasn't too bad, I'm surprised to say the least. And the traditional outfit in the fight scene too! Some promotional stills of her in that would have created more interest. Because her ass and hips look great in that outfit. And a pre-emptive fuck off to genderblender.
-
I'll admit that was better than I expected. I expected a complete disaster from David E. Kelley, though.
-
The still photos didn't really seem to work very well but in the videos she is much better - still seems to young for the part though...
-
I think Wonder Woman would work better as a film rather than a television series.
-

Think about it: Would Wonder Woman ever even say the word "tits"?
by MrMysteryGuest
That would be a crass word for an Amazonian to say in casual conversation.
-
Or more precisely, internet users. The backlash against the pants costume was so great that it probably made the execs back out of things. If they showed the fight scene in the warehouse we might have all thought about it differently. I dunno - now I feel kind of bad about wanting the show to be shelved - however it's kind of hard to make a total judgement call based on 3 clips. It has far less suckage than I thought it was going to be - it seems like this was actually intended as a superhero show with a different take on her alter ego, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. The leaked info made it sound like it was mainly going to be a Alley McBeal clone where she just happens to be Wonder Woman and this doesn't seem like that at all.
-
After next year's Avengers, DC is going to be begging Joss Whedon to come back for a Wonder Woman feature/television show.
-
This is just so wrong that I don't even know where to begin. 1. A foot chase?!? REALLY!?! Maybe they were going golden age with this, but WW has been able to fly for the past 50 years. NBC, what happened to your balls? Did they just... drop off? Even Heroes wasn't afraid to let its character fly. 2. No offense to Palicki, but she's way too soft to play this character. Wonder Woman muscular and toned to the point of being a fitness model. Everything about Superman's perfect chiseled look should apply to Wonder Woman. Palicki? Not even close. Like I sad, way too soft. I might buy her as Donna Troy, but not Diana. 3. Palicki can't act. There. I said it. 4. ARGH!!!! The writing. Quick! Bring my some hydrochloric acid for my ears! "Lawyer up?" REALLY!?! Is it suddenly 1983 again and WW's guest starring on Hill Street Blues? So, so bad. DEK should know better. His other shows are so much more polished, even when they're more relaxed - like Harry's Law. 5. We all know that the costume is bad. It looks even worse in action. 6. So, let me get this straight. Wonder Woman catches the bad guy. She lassos him in. The police demand that she hand him over. She's afraid that he'll *ugh* lawyer up. ... ... She hands him over anyway. .. .. .. .. Bitch, you have your LASSO OF TRUTH around him. Fuck the police. You're Wonder Woman! What part of "Lasso of Truth" don't you understand? And since WHEN did Wonder Woman cave in so easily to the demands of *shock* a man? Totally unbelievable. 7. A board room? *sigh* So, Diana of Themyscira, Paradise Island's finest warrior, not only eschews an actual secret identity, but also picks a career that puts her behind a desk? Law firm, cosmetics company, dildo manufacturer.... If it's not law some sort of direct enforcement then it doesn't matter. Congratulation, Kelly & Palick. You're officially worse than the 1974 Cathy Lee Crosby Wonder Woman pilot. At least that one got a chance to air. Yes, Palicki. You're officially worse than THIS---> http://tinyurl.com/3rnt4v4

That's the only way I could see Wonder Woman working aside from her own film.

anything's better than heroes was..pretentious shit.
by alienindisguise
I think the ww show would have had some potential but short sighted execs are always the ones to blame since they don't know shit about shit. I'm sure they showed this to a test audience of a d d riddled kids and 95 year old grannies and based on that, realized it wasn't for the public. Stupid fucks.
-
Damn those clips pissed you right off. If you were saying that instead of writing it you'd be gasping for air right about now
-
I see your points - I think the idea was that she is living within the US society and would give a fugitive to the police if asked. However, the giant loophole is that if everyone knows who she is and she runs a big corporation, why wouldn't every single person she chases and beats up(and uses a syringe on) sue her pants off? Diplomatic immunity maybe? Would the USA really allow a foreign citizen fight crime with impunity within it's borders? I'm wondering if they thought about that. Also, I seem to remember from the comics I read that she doesn't always fly, only when needed - also for budget reasons they may have removed this ability. I dunno - there isn't much worse than the CLC Wonder Woman, except for the 60's pilot that failed - that was total crap.

Too bad. The fights were cool, but the cinematography needed work.
by Robo-Obi

Honestly, David E. Kelley is not the right guy to be helming this. Look at his highlight reel. LA Law Doogie Howser Picket Fences Chicago Hope Ally McBeal Girls Club (Remember THAT brain fart?) The Practice Boston Public Boston Legal Harry's Law Anything in there to suggest to NBC that Kelley was the right guy to bring one of DC's "trinity" to the small screen? See what I mean? It really is a good thing this didn't go any further. As good as Kelley's other shows have been, that'd be like Michael Bay tackling Macbeth. As with everything, you've got to choose the right tool for the right job. Here, Kelley would've just been, well, a tool. =P

@dannybutterman: It just go into nerd rage when I see something potentially so cool being pissed all over.
by cookepuss
Not being a fanboy, as I'm more of a Marvel fan, but something like this just confirms my belief that studio execs who commission these things don't know a whole lot or just don't care.
-

Diplomatic immunity, afaik, only applies if you're on official diplomatic business
by cookepuss
Sort of a gray area for a comic-based show, but...
-
I saw the entire pilot the other day and it just didn't work. Wonder Woman needs to be on the big screen. It needs to embrace the mythology, not shy away from it. And before some smart ass says it, yes I do think I could do better. Ha. I actually wrote a mini-treatment for Wonder Woman a few days ago that I think could be interesting of course Warner Brothers don't know I exist so um...never mind then.
-
The action scene was decent for TV. The best part was the pipe being thrown through that dude's neck, but what are the chances NBC allows that kind of violence so visually portrayed on TV. The dialogue was shit though. I started laughing when the muscle-head dude said, "there's only one of you, but 20 of us." Hey, asshole, didn't you just see her throw a pipe through a guy's neck while deflecting bullets with her arm bands. I think she take on a few 'roid monsters. The writing was the demise of this show, not really the acting.
-
Still not. I actually agree that it might make an interesting big screen movie. Or maybe a cable series. But not a realistic or a tongue in cheek tv show. It needs to be bigger, with visits to the mythology of her past and all that.
-
DC needs to stop letting people use the rights to their characters for the small screen
-
Too bad. Not exactly David Kelly quality writing. But it might have been fun anyway.
-
DC needs to stop letting people use the rights to their characters for the small screen
-
The FX of them running/jumping through traffic was good, the fight scenes were better though the wire work reminded me of Heroic Trio a little? That she can kick several tons of shipping container and not kill with some of the hits she planted was a stretch. And no, the word tits doesn't roll off of Diana's lips so well. A better written line would have allowed her to make the point and stay classy... cuz that's how Diana rolls.
-
July 21, 2011, 5:55 p.m. CST
well, aside from the horrible writing and ABOMINABLY HORRIBLE MISCASTING OF THE LEAD...
by Squinty CGI Flynn
wonder why this failed, dialogue was a step up from those shity transformers movies.
-
July 21, 2011, 6:01 p.m. CST
That shit is awful. Glad it didn't air so I don't have to listen to my dad rave about another stupid fucking show.
by stu_pickles
-
July 21, 2011, 6:33 p.m. CST
Jebus that was HORRIBLE. I knew it had to be on some high level of bad if even NBC wouldn't air it!
by DrPain
And her voice was annoying as hell just in those two "dramatic" scenes. A real woman with some meat on her is what they needed, why did they cast this actress again????? The whole thing was like a fan film and not a very good one at that.
-
Yeah, the action was there, and maybe some characters would have turned out all right, but... C'mon! Writing is what is going to make or break any show, especially a genre show which has to sell the goods to a broader audience. Everyone knows who Wonder Woman is. That's not the problem. Write a great script and THAT will sell the show.
-
...using my psychic powers on ensuring this never made it to air. Why must you reveal this evil to the world?
-
and i enjoyed Green Lantern
-
Poorly written, poorly cast, poorly shot, and poorly acted. About the only positive is that the action was not horrible, by tv standards. Maybe in another ten years, they'll come back to WW and get it right.
-
Do you know the ratings that NBC would have gotten just from adolescent boys alone? Through the roof! Hefner needs to swoop in and get this actress to pose nude as Wonder Woman pronto! She was done wrong by the suits at NBC and has to pose nude to stick it to 'em.
-
An underused very good actor.
-
July 21, 2011, 7:55 p.m. CST
I love the truncated Yuuuuurrrrraaahhhh! when the cargo holders smash into those guys.
by Cureguy
-
had dialogue that felt like it was lifted straight from Garth Merenghi's Darkplace. It would've been hack for the Lynda Carter-era Wonder Woman. I can't even fathom why this much was leaked, this should be Kelley's The Day The Clown Cried, something nobody sees, locked in a vault, until the day he dies.
-
the action is pretty well shot, the actress looks pretty good in the costume even though she probably needs to put on about 10 pounds of muscle. but the writting is pretty fucking bad though. <p> wonder woman can't say tits. she can't whine about being human. shes a greek fucking goddess for petes sake, let her act like one.
-
Wonder Woman has no personality. She's not relatable at all. You could say the same thing about Superman.
-
dialogue was shit acting was shit and paliki has no fucking tits...so no, they are far from perfect
-
July 21, 2011, 9:08 p.m. CST
Looked like a lower-rung Syfy original series.
by the dolphins are in the jacuzzi
Yeah, the action was pretty good (at least what you could see of it; everything was so dark and periodically shaky - especially in the warehouse scene - that you could hardly tell what was going on half the time); but the dialogue was horrible, especially in the hospital scene. And I agree with several other people here that Diana would never say the words "tits" and "ass" in a public board meeting. Way too classy for that. She's royalty. They never should have taken WW away from Whedon. He could have made that movie epic. I hope Avengers owns all next year, so he can laugh in DC owners' faces as their stocks continue to plummet, being held aloft solely by Nolan, who will be done this time next year, and they beg him to come back. What I'd give to watch that. Tools.
-
...no wonder the network/studio passed on it. Each of these episodes would have no doubt cost several million a piece, and that's not including ancillary costs like royalties and licensing to actors, writers, directors and DC comics. Why would any network/studio bother spending that much money on something as risky as this AND still hope that an audience will even tune in, when they could instead spend 1/10th the cost on a dullard reality show and still retain the same amount of profits from TV ads.
-
The shows listed provide a pretty low bar.
-
They wouldn't need to watch a crap Wonderwoman for that.
-
Yep, it's a David E Kelly show. And did she raid a 24 fitness? 20 clean cut muscular "thugs" wearing under armor. And one guy with a gun.
-
Kelley was making another lawyer show but tried to hide it behind a comic-book icon like Wonder Woman! If this doesn't prove David E Kelley is a hack then I don't know what to say!
-
they axed that shit before it could stink up all airwaves and interwebs.

If WW is a flat character its because the comics industry is...
by cookepuss
male dominated. A select number of guys have the knack for writing female characters, but many of them them suck. Many guys write women in a way that doesn't ring true to how women really act or think. Never mind the fact that many artists objectify women as only a hormonal 13 year old boy might. Again, only a few guy artists draw realistic looking women, as opposed to porn stars with powers. There are some excellent female writers and artists who have handled Wonder Woman, but they are outnumbered. Most of what Wonder Woman is now is due to guys who don't always have a clue. Look at WW's early years. There's a heavy S&M and fetish vibe going on. Gail Simone types don't come along often in this industry. Comics are a sausage-fest. That's why Marvel was quick to highlight the few ones that actually do exist in the embarrassingly titled "Her-oes" and "Girl Comics" last year.
-
TV as a medium is not suited for Wonder Woman. It's a dicey proposition in ANY media, but TV is probably the worst for the character.
-
She IS a Greek goddess, there is a mythos there to be tapped. Think Thor and Asgard, or Superman when a storyline delves into his Kryptonian heritage. Any serious WW attempt, tv or film, needs to get into that mythic aspect of the character and how she balances living among mortals with her demigoddess heritage. Also she needs to look a little more foreign and harder ... the one here looks like a creampuff. I'm thinking Michelle Rodriquez, Rhona Mitra, that sort of look. The costume is too historic to change, like Supe's costume, but they could do something with it. I like the original costume WW wore in the '40s, with the pleated mini skirt ... with shorts underneath of course. Maybe even give her a knee-length pleated skirt, vaguely ancient Greek-ish looking, that would have all kinds of cool aesthetic possibilities for swirling around when she jumps almost like Batman's cape. Again she'd have to have pants underneath it to avoid embarrassment!
-
stuff about her being golem of sorts - made of clay and/or having powers given to her by the Greek gods. However, she's not an actual goddess. Maybe I'm mistaken.
-
July 21, 2011, 9:45 p.m. CST
Visually, the most accurate examples of what WW should look and fight like is probably the DC Online cinematics by Blur

That guy's an idiot and his shows suck. No more proof needed, thanks.
by Subovon
-
Look again. Watch as bad guys walk up behind her in fights.. they shuffle and restep, waiting for their turn to engage. That's called bad choreography. Kelly usually hides it with fast camera shifts and blocking, but watch for it. It's EVERYWHERE. I've always hated fight scenes that try to hide combatants standing around like humps with pointless distractive movements and third tier background actors hopping around into fram like an old hong kong kung-fu flick
-
Heard it too when the goon got mashed between the storage containers. Another sign of true excellence. AKA pure shit.

Also, the animated WW movie from a little while back is still the definitive cinematic origin story.
by DickBallsworth
Still have much love for Lynda Carter tho. :)
-
It appears. He was chubbin up last I saw.
-
like it was written and shot 9 years ago?
-
Not 10. NINE
-
I thought the action scenes were pretty decent. Kicking ass in the shorts? Hell to the yes! She looked pretty damn hot, much better than in the stills. The hospital and boardroom scenes were pretty lame though.
-
She was my initial choice to play Wonder Woman. Please please please!
-
It looks AWFUL, but she's totally hot, and I want a bootleg of this hilarious trainwreck of a pilot.

WW is DC's Thor. And Thor worked brilliantly as a movie
by Adelai Niska
So why not do a similarly budgeted WW movie?
-
You can take that to the bank.
-
I never ended up watching any of it even tho I thought some fembot ass-kickery w Kara Thrace would be good times. How did that show make it further than this one? On fumes from BSG? Lindsey Waggoner nostalgia? Moore vs Kelly,
-
It seems like they put some thought into how she would fight, but bad guys dancing around waiting for their turn is just bad choreography. The girl is just too young to play the part. I really want to see Bridget Reagan from Legend of the Seeker in the part, now there's an Amazonian for you.
-
and in concept art on his blog is brilliant. Too bad they won't hand over the reins.

WW on Justice League and the recent Supes/Bats Apocalypse
by Dennis_Moore
were excellent, as well.
-
for live action WW.
-
wouldn't one punch or kick from her to a mortal be an insta-kill?
-
Obvious wire work and man in a wig shots. I don't even want to talk about the other scenes. We were saved FROM Wonder Woman!
-
What was he talkin' about?
-
that footage could still be used to make the world's best porno movie
-
... if it was for some other heroine, not Wonder Woman. Say a woman recently inheriting the mantle of, for example, her mother, a teacher, not only learning to juggle the aspects of recently gained superpowers and authority, but the reputation of a woman who was considered to be perfect by the public at large. However, with Wonder Woman, there was, and is, a pre-established aspect to her characterisation that these clips clearly jar against.
-
You actually feel the superstrenght.
-
i didn't get what was wrong with the doll though.
-
Move it FX or syfy.
-
That's for damn sure
-
It sucked -- completely juvenile and derivative, should be on kids tv <p><p>Can't see Wonderwomen being any better.<p><p>Thank heavens for JJ & Co.
-
Was her in stirrups fingering herself, I would have watched... Just saying...
-
This is like a BAD scifi original series. Note I said bad. So thats really saying something. I was wondering why they passed on this, now I know why. This is absolutely one of the worst looking pilot's I've sat through footage of. Wow, just wow.

I want to see this just to fully appreciate its awfulness
by theGoldbergV
Fight scenes bad. Girl good. Hospital scene cheese. Boardroom scene unintentionally hilarious. Looks like it was shot in the 90s. Not up to speed on US TV standards and practices, but could they even say "tits" on NBC? All in all, it sounded like and odd fit, Kelly and WW, and from the looks of it, it was.
-
Not really....WOW! Actually worse than the campy 70's version with the lovely Lynda Carter.
-
Still, it's better than Heroes....NO Ordinary Family was not a bad show and needed some time to grow.
-
Fucking unbelievable .
-
She's got big bosoms
-
I mean that was bad, really bad but this...words fail me.

The Action scenes weren't horrible. The whole Diana running a corporation might have been the downfall to this.
by mistergreen
-
So, this is reality.
-
if only for morbid curiosity. It's gotta be out there somewhere. Did Gary Coleman shoot a cameo before he passed?
-
The fight scene was cool but the writer was bloody awful. Terrible effects, bad camera work, bad dubbing (paparazzi and crowd screaming "we love you wonderwoman"?), horrible writing, bad acting. "Judging by his speed he appears to be super human!" Thanks for that exposition writers, considering all other pedestrians are standing still I just assumed wonderwoman was chasing a petty crook. It's just too bad the cops showed up and let the guy "lawyer up". I also like how the fight scene, although it was pretty good, starts with the lead saying they brought 20 guys specifically because they knew how good she was...then they all stand around doing nothing while she fights one at a time. And why would they have a show where wonderwoman beats the hell out of people and then try and be all preachy and "after school special" in other scenes? Who did they think their audience was? I also think trying to copy the original/comic costume was a serious mistake. It looks really stupid and out of place. They should changed or modernized it, like with the Watchmen movie, or something. Sure, comic fans would have been angry but the costume is just too stupid. It fits the toys and merchandising but doesn't look good on the character.
-
Fights were good, and fairly pragmatic compare to the Lynda Carter cheesefests. But - they did like the 'let's slide the person to show her strength' a little bit too much. I love that she had a very aggressive attitude, again much better than the old show. This woman looks like she has no issue wanting to kick your ass. The Lasso - I think using the CG'ed lasso is miles better than a lame, limp piece of twine. And the fact that is whips out is a very nice touch. That all said - For the love of God, is it so hard to find someone who can freakin' write dialog anymore? There is a whole Writers Guild of out of work screenwriters out there! FIND ONE!
-
And I enjoyed the action sequences. The hospital scene was good. So now I see what killed it. It was the David Kelley attempt to be smarter than the original source material. That office scene is what buried this show. Too bad. I could have watched Palicki walk around all day.
-
Was her "storming" out. Clearly a girl who hasn't learned to walk in heels yet.

I had a reprint of All Star Comice #8 (WW's 1st appearance)
by Damned if I can login
And in William Moulton Marston's origin story Diana was indeed molded from clay, and subsequently brought to life by Aphrodite, I believe. Of course the character has been revamped and updated over the years, but in the original she was not a goddess.
-
Wonder Woman can go ten rounds with Superman, and she actually has to fight these thugs!? She should be slapping them all to the moon, not skipping reasonable well over a car. I doubt I could even finish watching the whole pilot if it made it to air.
-
You get yourself well, Willis!
-
So, this was going to air at 10PM? So, they were gearing this towards adults? What were they thinking?
-
It doesnt matter who writes her, male or female, she's essentially a God. She's not relatable, she doesnt have any problems or crises that a reader could relate to. Same with Superman, he is a God. How do people relate to that? Characters that are too powerful are hard to make vulnerable
-
Or was that fight sequence BADASS. She sure was more believable that Angelina Jolie in Salt!
-
winds itself back onto her hip milliseconds after snatching bad guy off his feet. bad. and not bad meaning good.
-
My daughter thought the clips looked good. For her sake, I hope it gets out. I want to see it, too, and drool.
-
Exactly. She kicks a metal shippin container across the room in one scene and then kicks a guy in the stomach 5 seconds later. Does he fly across the room? No, he just falls down. Plus, what's up with the guy trying to tackle her in the hallway? He should have just bounced off.

Where does Dailymotion get off running 30-second commercials in front of sub-60-second clips?

can't be nowhere as bad as The Cape. And hellz yea, I would so hit that.
by Stalkeye
has this Pilot been leaked on the Torrents? now I'm curious.
-
Why must the comic version be discarded? Making her the head of a corporation? Taking away her raw power? How successful would Superman be if he was radically changed from the son of Krypton and the child of the Kents? What if Bruce Wayne was a relief worker/Batman ? I'd much rather see Diana as the (exiled)Ambassador from Themyscira who holds diplomatic immunity and is a more flawed character. One who loves to fight, more of a hard case than anything else. And add her buddy, Black Canary, who doesn't wear much more clothing, but pals around and mocks Diana and occasionally her belief system(as well as the sexuality of the Amazons)
-
It's just in there to give the executives something to cut so they can feel like they've made a contribution and, maybe, will be satiated enough not to tinker any further.

musicman247, maybe she put a little more muscle into the container kick
by jim
and held back on the stomach kick. Hopefully she knows her own strength and can compensate accordingly. Otherwise a playful "attaboy" shoulder punch in the office would take someone's arm off; every time she opened a door she'd tear it off its hinges; pushing an elevator button would result in her hand through the wall; she'd never be able to get dressed as zippers, buttons, clasps, and straps would disintegrate in her Amazonian fingers.

Wonder Woman's always had it toughest as far as adapting goes.
by kevred
She has the most ridiculous costume of any of the main DC heroes, some of the silliest accessories, and kind of a dopey moniker, too. Which is a shame, because the overall concept (proud Amazonian warrior entering the world of men) has a lot of potential, and is very comparable to Superman in that way. Which is another hurdle - she's a female character, already saddled with some goofiness, having to compete with a comparable male character. I think there's a way to update her to streamline some of the absurd stuff, but this adaptation seems to have kept the nonsense while scrapping the substance. Wait, network TV did that? Never!

a woman removing one of her "distractions" to better kick your ass as terrifying. Let's NOT see the original Amazon myth.

If it's feminism they wanted, they failed. Seeing that clip make me want to watch porn. and that's what i'm gonna do now. ce ya

saw it by chance... No origin story in the first ep, they jump straight in a world where every knows of Diana and her being wonder women... i can see why they didn't pick it up, it would have been a risk...it was pretty lame but better than a really bad ep of smallville. Bit of a shame though, i would have watched it...then again i sat through 10 seasons of smallville, so i'll watch anything comicky :p
