A new journey to be started.
A new promise to be fulfilled.
A new page to be written.
Go forth unto this waiting world with pen in hand, all you young scribes,
the open book awaits.
Be creative.
Be adventurous.
Be original.
And above all else, be young.
For youth is your greatest weapon, your greatest tool.
Use it wisely.

Happy Birthday, Wonder Woman!

Great Hera!
Happy Birthday, Wonder Woman!
by Susana Polo | 5:55 pm, March 22nd

Who would have guessed that Wonder Woman and William Shatner would share a birthday? It could even be intentional, except that the Shat was ten when she debuted in December 1941.

But wait, you say, if her first comic came out in December, why is her birthday in March? Well, for the same reasons that Lex Luthor has now canonically stolen 40 cakes: little known apocryphal published tie-in materials. Like this calendar:

(via DC Women Kicking Ass.)

So, we apologize for the quality, but we wanted a video of Wonder Woman kicking ass, and this was the only one we could find that illustrates the raw power unleashed when you stick a mind-control device on the Champion of the Amazons. The other heroes in this Justice League Unlimited clip (Huntress, Black Canary, Vixen, and Hawkgirl) are by no means lightweights themselves. Huntress and Canary are some of the most skilled hand-to-hand combatants on the show, and Vixen and Hawkgirl are relative bruisers.

Heroes: Rating TV’s Wonder Woman costumes

Heroes: Rating TV’s Wonder Woman costumes

How does the 2011 TV pilot look stack up?

Move over, Helen of Troy. The lovely and talented Adrianne Palicki’s is the face that launched a thousand comments:

Or perhaps it was her costume that did it?

The collective Internet response to the new TV Wonder Woman pilot costume looks to be spread evenly between an indifferent “meh” and outrage, with fan-made costume retouches cropping up online almost immediately – just like what happened with the Wonder Woman costume redesign that debuted in August 2010.

But how does this latest attempt at Wonder Woman’s outfit compare to previous attempts at capturing the comic amazon’s look on the small screen?

Cathy Lee Crosby in the 1974 made-for-TV Wonder Woman movie.

Contender 1: Cathy Lee Crosby starred in a made-for-TV Wonder Woman movie that was the first attempt at adapting the character to TV… by changing everything about her, omitting her ability for superhuman feats, secret identity, and of course: the costume.

Lynda Carter in the 1976-1979 Wonder Woman TV series

Contender 2: Lynda Carter in the well-known 1976 series that aired on ABC and CBS, which was actually a fair adaptation and compromise of the original World War II-era Wonder Woman costume and the later iconic look. It’s also an acceptable look when compared to the Christopher Reeves look in the 1978 Superman movie, though it is admittedly cheaper looking.

Erica Durance, Smallville‘s Lois Lane dressed up as a Wonder Woman lookalike in the episode “Warrior”

Contender 3: Smallville’s Erica Durance, who plays Lois Lane, went for the Amazon look in the Smallville episode “Warrior,” which involves a comic book convention and Zatanna and a bunch of other things. Regardless of that show’s convolutions, this costume is a more realistic take of Wonder Woman’s look that wouldn’t look too out of place in a The Dark Knight-esque take on the character – or a crossover romp in the Xena: Warrior Princess universe. Too bad it was wasted on a “wink-wink, nudge-nudge” type scenario on Smallville.

So, does the 2011 costume really look worse than a one-episode outfit from the notoriously low-budget Smallville, or does the shiny really work you?

Heroes: NBC Picks Up Wonder Woman Pilot

Heroes: NBC Picks Up Wonder Woman Pilot

Finally, some good news regarding Wonder Woman! Contrary to what was said in the press weeks ago, THR confirms that NBC has picked up David E. Kelley's version of Wonder Woman to pilot. Apparently, NBC and the other television networks first passed on the project due to budgetary reasons but, last month, Kelley hinted that the show might finally get a chance to land on the small screen as soon as next year.

"I think the likelihood is we'll see it next year. I'm being optimistic but I don't think I'm being unrealistic." he told THR in mid-January. He also hinted that NBC would be a perfect fit for the series.

"I like to think of it as a smart script and I know [new NBC programming chief Bob Greenblatt] responds to smart material." He added that the character will not only be a superhero but a "real complex woman".

Now, let´s just hope it gets picked up as a proper TV series!

Wonder Woman (1941~)

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman is a DC Comics superheroine created by William Moulton Marston, first appearing in All Star Comics #8 (December 1941).
