Update on Upcoming 'Wonder Woman' TV Show

It looks like the CW show is trying to stay true to the source material.

I think it's fair to say fans had mixed opinions on the last bit of news regarding the upcoming CW show. The summary wasn't met well by many, and Wonder Woman's name being "Iris" instead of Diana wasn't very promising. Thankfully, both Allan Heinberg and Geoff Johns have implied the name was used as a code name in an attempt to keep spoilers from leaking. Well, it's less than a week later and we're already getting more news about the show.

No Caption Provided

i09 says a casting call for Wonder Woman is underway and they've managed to get their hands on the script pages being used for auditions. Based on what they've read, it sounds like the program is trying to stay close to Diana's comic book roots and Steve Trevor plays a prominent role (he has the code name "Pete") . It's worth noting that the pilot script hasn't been completed yet.

The website got a glance at two scenes. The first consists of Steve crashing on Diana's island. He's tied to a chair and she's interrogating him. She's under the impression he means harm to the island (terrorist or part of an invasion). The site claims Steve's script is a mesh of charming and snarky. They compared his personality to Damon from Vampire Diaries meshed with Tommy from Arrow.

The second scene has Steve and Diana at a diner in the United States. She's overly enthusiastic about the variety of food the outside world offers. The highlight is a moment veeeery inspired by When Harry Met Sally when she tries ice cream for the first time.

Does this news give you some hope about the show or are you skeptical?

When Harry Met Sally huh? Does that mean that we are gonna see Diana simulate an orgasm in midst of the diner? :P Hehe all joking aside though I'm actually feeling more confident about this show all of a sudden.

I'm skeptical about this. I don't really think Arrow is the greatest show around...

She probably does have superpowers.She is as fast as a cheetah and is Superstrong. WW wouldn't have flight until the end.I imagine Steve Trevor crashes on the Island and the Amazons hold a competition on who gets to take him back.Whoever wins gets to go to the Man's world but they can never return back to Paradise Island.Diana's mom doesn't let her in the contest but she disguises herself to enter and she wins it.She also wins the mantle of WW and gets her gear.

While eating ice cream. 
Diana: "YES, BY THE GODS, YES! YES! HERA HELP ME, ZEUS ALMIGHTY, SWIFT FOOTED HERMES! YES!! 
 
Steve: "...I'll have what she's having...."

So much this.

If the Pilot script isn't finished then I'm assuming these pages were written just for auditions. The initial information wasn't true to the source material in the least bit. If there is an actual Themiscyra instead of her being from "a war torn country" than we're moving in the right direction.

Wonder Woman fans are effin crazy and they need to get this $hit right for us lol.

A scene inspired by when Harry met sally.... No. No, they couldn't do something that stupid to Wonder Woman. If there's one thing I learned from watching TV and movies, it's that most writers fail horribly when trying to write women, especially superheroes. This does not sound promising. I guarantee, at some point in the series there will be an entire story arc devoted to Diana's fears about losing her virginity.

I wonder if in the future Amazon and Arrow will crossover? I know too early to speculate, but I'd love if that happened.

Personally I would love to have two shows to look forward too every week and I can't get enough of Arrow.
