Wonder Woman

SuperHarmony, the Dating Site for Heroes and Villains

Are you lonely? Looking for a special someone? Are you also ok with tights-wearing crime fighters or amoral megalomaniacs bent on world domination and/or life of crime?

Friends, SuperHarmony is the site for you. And let’s face it, it’s been a long time coming. Some of these guys and gals have been doing the whole lone-wolf thing since the ’40s. After sixty years of the isolation that comes with responsibility, or a life of meaningless sex that only serves to inflate your established sense of power and superiority over other humans, these folks deserve some down time.

Time to “chillax.”

It’s great to see tools like this finally emerging in the information age, bringing real happiness to some really super people. And superheroes and villains aren’t the only ignored demographic finally finding love, as SeaCaptainDate plows the uncharted waters of the final dating frontier.

Casting Sheet For Wonder Woman Reveals Really Obviously Symbolic Names

The venerable tumblog DC Women Kicking Ass has gotten a hold of the casting sheet for David E. Kelley‘s Wonder Woman pilot, revealing what looks like the majority of the major characters of the show.

The new show will portray a Wonder Woman who is a “powerful C.E.O.”, and most of the characters named fall into the category of a CEO’s entourage.  A press secretary/best friend, a personal assistant, and a second-in-command-CEO.  Those who don’t fall into that category, naturally, are love interests.

Honestly, our favorite part?  Liberal use of the phrase “open ethnicity” when used to describe casting requirements.

Never Mind: David E. Kelley’s Wonder Woman Pilot Totally Greenlit by NBC

Some surprising news from NBC this weekend: Two weeks after passing on a Wonder Woman show scripted by David E. Kelly because the network couldn’t afford the character’s licensing fee, the National Broadcasting Company has changed it’s mind an given the green light to the Amazonian princess.

Apparently two weeks ago, NBC was still going through some internal staff changeups, and didn’t have someone who could vouch for a project as big as Wonder Woman.  Now that new president Bob Greenblatt is firmly in charge, the network could firmly commit itself.

In other news, the show might not be about an Amazon.  Or a princess.

David E. Kelly’s Wonder Woman Show Is A No-Go

David E. Kelly‘s announced Wonder Woman television show has been shopped around to networks… and nobody’s buying.

According to Deadline Kelly’s pilot script

was reportedly taken out to the broadcast networks on Wednesday night. Fox and ABC passed, while WBTV’s sister network the CW could not afford it…

This left CBS and NBC in play. I hear the CBS executive team was split, while the fluid situation at NBC where new programming chief Bob Greenblatt is yet to take the reins, made it impossible to get the type of license fee that the studio was seeking in order to do the show Kelley had envisioned.

The reason why ABC passed on the pilot is of course because of the network’s association with Disney, who are now the big media company behind Marvel comics.  ABC is currently working on three different Marvel-based television shows, and nobody wants to cross the streams of the Big Two.

Women of DC Comics Jewelry is Awesome, Outside My Price Range

Designer Leeora Catalan‘s nOir Jewelry has just released pictures of their new line of DC comics jewelry based on the women of the comics universe, and it’s kind of shockingly awesome.

Sadly, that beautiful Wonder Woman cuff does not appear to be available yet, so I can’t go to its page to see just how much more-than-I-would-be-able-to-spend it costs. And I don’t even like having stuff on my wrists that much.

Oh, and there are also some cuff-links, guys.

Wonder Woman Getting a TV Show: Gee. Thanks.

Both Deadline Hollywood and The Hollywood Reporter have some blockbuster geek news today: instead of making the long pre-production purgatory dwelling Wonder Woman movie, DC Entertainment is optioning a television show featuring the Amazonian princess, with David E. Kelley to write and produce.

Aside from the sense of “Oh, good, somebody is going to do something with Wonder Woman,” this tingles every last geek girl sense in my body.

Nerdrage commencing in t-minus… now.

Wonder Woman’s Invisible Jet: The Hot Wheels Toy

Great Comic Con exclusive, or greatest Comic Con exclusive? This packaging has been made to look and feel (with the help of some strategically placed weights) as if it contains a tiny replica of Wonder Woman’s invisible jet, right down to, you guessed it, the invisibility.

(Bigger picture below.)

Why Fox News Really Should Be Angry About Wonder Woman

Nationalism, it’s just so cute and old fashioned, dontcha think?

Right. So… Fox News is reporting about the Wonder Woman costume change, so that you can decide:

Wonder Woman may have finally been given a pair of pants, but has she been stripped of her patriotism?

The new and allegedly improved Wonder Woman (a.k.a Diana Prince), has been given a head-to-toe makeover by artist Jim Lee, replacing her signature American flag decorated briefs with skintight black pants and purging the super hero of all her trappings of Americana.

You can see our reporting on the new costume, right here. Whether or not you decide anything from it is up to you. We don’t want to pressure anyone.

In the interest of proper comics education, we’d like to let Fox News know that they could have much better reasons to call Wonder Woman un-Patriotic (by their own definition) if they spent the time to find out more about her than what you get from watching the opening sequence from the Lynda Carter show.
