David E. Kelley, creator of The Practice and Ally McBeal, has a new TV show project and it's Wonder Woman. The high profile television writer-producer has come onboard to write and produce a pilot based on DC Comics' Amazonian princess.
The show is being developed by Kelley, Warner Bros. Television Entertainment and DC Entertainment. Logline details about what Kelley will keep and what he will remove from his version of Wonder Woman weren't available now, but there's a good possibility that he might have been attracted to the DC Comics stable after the comic book publisher recently rebooted the character three months ago. This new version dispensed with Princess Diana's bikini costume in favor of a more Matrix-y dark pants and leather coat look.
A Wonder Woman TV show might be coming at the right time. For over a decade Matrix producer Joel Silver has been given the licence to try and pull the trigger on a Wonder Woman feature film, without success. Now, with the character getting her highest level of interest in decades thanks to her comics makeover, the WB suits may be thinking that Diana's new look could translate to television. Add to that the fact that this is Smallville's final season on the air and WB Television might be wanting to keep its superhero presence on the air after the Superman-before-he-was-Superman show has run its course.

All the more reason to hate that Babylon 5 dude who re-did WW. He did it just in time to fuck up the tv show.

I heard that the JMS story arc was just that... it'll last for one year and then she'll be back in the stars-n-stripes and not the "new" costume that rips off Superboy from Reign of the Supermen and just about every other leather jacket wearing teenager in the DCU.
His horrible Superman arc is for one year also. At least he's consistant.

As a kid, I loved Wonder Woman (and The Incredible Hulk and Spider-Man). If David E. elley is involved, it should be entertaining and socially relevant. I'd also hope it'd be something that I could let my daughter watch without it getting bogged down by the insipid soap opera relationship crap that plagues Smallville (and probably so many other CW shows, excepting Supernatural and possibly Nikita).
