Secrets will be kept whether it is right or wrong. That is part of self-preservation. Team members only need to know that the intentions of their partners are to stay as a team and fight on the same side of the battle. If everyone was to tell everything about themselves and their activities, then team members would disband, relationships would be broken, and society could not continue. Sometimes, trust is believing that someone else is keeping a secret for a good reason.
Wonder Woman as CEO, blah. I think the studios are looking to keep production costs down by keeping the production design as the local color, i.e., Los Angeles. Filming a show on a set designed as Themyscira and then placing it somewhere completely different makes it costly to make. Plus, with all the scripts written almost exactly the same and with viewership still up on most shows, why reinvent the wheel? If people like the Big Mac, just keep giving them the Big Mac, and they'll keep eating it up. Way to go, middle America. -.-
Wolverine knows the pain of having to grow up alone and survive without any support for many years. This is part of what has made him a ruthless killer at times. I think that he sees this struggle in the female counterparts that he takes under his "claws" and identifies with them as a result.
Also, since they are female, and in some ways, Wolverine is a primal creature, he may have an instinctual need to care for the relatively weaker females in his clan, especially since they are young and somewhat innocent to the world.
Furthermore, he may be trying to get in touch with the female part of his psyche, which he may have never connected with due to his overwhelming need to survive. His berserker rage is an aspect of his psychology that he needs to balance with his human side, and helping younger females in similar circumstances reminds him of his capacity for human compassion.
My favorite team-up has been with Wolverine and Jubilee, namely because I grew up reading X-Men comics in the 90's, when Jubilee was the young character that was featured in the X-Men. She was so bright and positive, but apparently there was a dark side and a loner aspect to her character that Wolverine saw in her, bringing them closer. I also liked the team-up with Wolverine and Rogue in the earlier X-Men movies, which, although is out of continuity with the book, portrayed the dynamic between Wolverine and a younger female partner in an interesting way.
I think that Wolverine has not fulfilled his surrogate parental duties to these girls or his own children partly because he is not fully self-actualized and has a great journey to go in resolving his own issues with his upbringing and his animal/human nature. As a flawed man, it is difficult for him to be the perfect father figure to these kids, but the point is that he tries, which contributes to his heroism.
The costume will be some amalgam of the classic outfit and something like the new outfit. As with the film versions of other super-hero incarnations, the costume will probably be a combination of form and function. Plus, I think that the sexy factor will definitely be hyped up for the male TV crowd.
Also, who drew that picture of Wonder Woman with that surprised look on her face? It looks really funny :D
Heroes like Batman and Superman are the standard by which all other heroes measure themselves. They are pure by nature. It is who they are. Batman, no matter how ruthless he is to enemies, is out to stop the act of crime, not the criminals. He serves as a warning to anyone willing to cross the line of law into criminality that they will meet brutal and severe punishment for their actions. They can reflect on their deeds while in prison. Also, his resistance to killling the Joker may be irrational, but so is the fact that Bruce Wayne needs to dress up as Batman to combat crime. It's that irrationality that makes Batman a complex character. It also separates him from the criminals he locks up. He serves justice. The law of the land determines if capitol punishment is justifiable, not Batman. If Bruce were narcissistic, then he would fight crime pubilicly as Bruce Wayne, not hide in the shadows as Batman.
Chloe's character is over-rated. She was just a projection of all the average looking girls who watch the show so they can identify with someone on it. I never really liked Chloe. I found her annoying with her crush on Clark in the early run of the series. Then, she goes to Metropolis and meets and hooks up with Jimmy. Why? Cuz she ain't no Lana or Lois and can't get Clark, that's why. LAME! I think she's a bit of a ho.. So, I agree, other than providing the comic book a new readership, really, who cares about this bimbo?
@Decoy Elite: Really? Wow, you're sensitive. Just slinging some mud. Actually, I think it's funny how people get worked up over ideas that don't fit the norm. "Dick doing as Bruce says? *GASP* " Well, don't worry, the editors won't tinker with the characters too much, I think. And furthermore....DONT CALL ME CRAZY, CUZ YOURE CRAZY!!!!RRRAAARRRRRR!!!!! :P silly goose.
