NBC Picks Up Wonder Woman TV Show

David E. Kelley's vision will happen after all.

Friday nights seem to be the time and day for the Wonder Woman news. It was recently announced that David E. Kelley's Wonder Woman project wasn't going to happen due to cost and a lack of interest from networks. We even had a video discussion on this week. 
 
Good news for those craving some Wonder Woman TV action, it appears the project is going to happen. It was just announced that NBC has decided to give the show a shot. What direction will the show take? According to Deadline Hollywood: 

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.  

Vigilante crime fighter in L.A.? Hopefully that just means she'll be fighting crime without any official capacity of the LAPD. Sure Wonder Woman has sometimes been portrayed as a fierce Amazon but I'd hate to see her taking an extreme Punisher/vigilante route. Then again, that could be an interesting twist. As for the successful corporate executive angle...that concerns me a bit. Let's keep our fingers crossed and perhaps we could start thinking about who should be cast. Do you think she'll have her original/traditional outfit or the new/current one?
