The project is described as a reinvention of the iconic D.C. comic in which Wonder Woman — aka Diana Prince — is a vigilante crime fighter in L.A. but also a successful corporate executive and a modern woman trying to balance all of the elements of her extraordinary life. "I had a lot of fun writing it," Kelley said of the script at TCA last week when the project had just been put on hold. "It's a huge project, and it was probably a bit too much to ask anyone to try to chew on it for next season. But I'm confident it will still happen. It's a very complicated piece, which is the most fun thing about it."

Gotta love how trying to make her capable ends up being sexist anyway. io9.com speculates that their emphasis on her being 'modern' may mean the current 'streetwise' WW is the one being adapted, rather than the swimsuit cleavage amazon princess we know and love. I'm good either way, I'm actually interested in this take. Wonder Woman is a character not easy to do without pissing somebody off. Give her the swimsuit she'll offend feminazis (even if she's the most important chick in the DCU); and update her to more a utilitarian vibe and the fans will bitch.
Me? I say go with the classic look. Bending for crybabies who never enjoyed the source material is something I can't stand (reference the Resident Evil 5 debacle). But let's see how this goes.
