Best part of Fridays are the news.  Just in case I miss something....
What... The Human Torch is dead?????
SOFT!  They should of killed Reed, he is the most important to the whole Marvel universe. Yes J. Storm was popular, but really... his impact ripples like tad pools in the water compared to Reed or Sue dying.
 
WW show!  GREAT HERA!
 
and yes Poor Wizard.... it is a sign of the times....

Corporate Business Woman? out of all the things diana's ever been or taken up as a career in her time, they choose corporate? LOL! Great news by the way and I wish they'd killed all of the FF off (except maybe Sue)!!

So the Fantastic Four are now the Triumphant Three? Not very mercurial, I know... 
Good news delivery, Sara, albeit I'm a bit dissappointed. I had high hopes to see a slightly sloshed girl in a Wonder Woman outfit. ; )

Instead of a corporate executive she should be a UN Rep for Themascara.  A UN Rep who gets pulled into vigilante work because of her great power and the public calling out to her for help.  She just can't ignore them.
Maybe when they pitched it they were trying to sell it buy sucking up to the corporate executives listening to the pitch.  "yeah, she's also a corporate executive struggling to balance it all."  Corporate Exec says, "Yes, I can relate to that.  Very good.  You have your show."

I wonder if the new Wonder Woman show will have any connections to Smallville.

I'm a little nervous about the whole "vigilante business woman" route they're taking 
but I love Wonder Woman, so I'll give it a shot and hope for the best 
....she better not be dressed in all black though...... 
 
@The Impersonator:

I hope not 
Smallville was good for what it was 
but it was so vastly deviated from the comic mythology that it became its own seperate storyline / universe / continuity / earth / whatever you want to call it, that adding more to it would just be adding to Smallville not creating a new show about Wonder Woman 
it would just be Wonder Woman in the Smallville continuity

So basically they are remaking the original series of Wonder Woman instead of offering fans a look at her life from the comics... riiigghhhhht. 
 
Great news Babs, Perhaps Comicvine should hire all the people laid off from Wizard ;)

Here's hoping they don't re-re-consider. Though, hearing that the premise is just a superhero-esque rehash of every "single woman" sitcom ever made. I'm kind of hoping they do.
 
I don't understand all this hype about a character that isn't actually dead?? Dead means you don't come back. Comic characters don't die. They go on hiatus.
 
I'm wondering how Comixology plans to profit on this distribution through comic stores. That store is going to be expecting a cut of the sale. Why would you pay any more on a digital version if they increase the price through the comic store site? Unless the price wont change and Comixology expects increase revenue to offset those losses.

Honestly Wonder Woman as a corporate CEO does not bother me since she has not had much of a secret identity or solid personal life which has been a major problem for her as long as they keep the core elements (which I read that the lasso and jet would still be there) then I will give it a chance.

I workout a lot and eat healthy and get  the "you're too skinny" comments a lot too (I'm 180 @ 6', btw). It comes across as insulting and makes you feel kinda bad about yourself. I'm sure it's a lot worse feeling for a woman than a man, too.

Haven't read a Wonder Woman comic in my life (I know, I'm deprived.), but like many of you, I think changing her to that degree is a terrible idea.  I'll stick to the comics for my first impression of her, where I'm hoping she isn't forced into an artificial "let's make her do a million things at once successfully to show how modern and liberated she is" character.  WW has always sounded like an intelligent, and powerful hero.  Sounds like enough to earn my respect without pouring on overdone character modifications.

Actually, MARVEL spoiled it the day the comic was released (TUESDAY) through the ASSOCIATED PRESS, so I don't know where you've been.

Babs gave some warning before she mentioned it anyways.
 
I suppose Black Panther might be nice, if only to introduce people to the whole Vibranium thing and for some different geographical locations.

I'm not sure about the WW show, but will definitely check it out. As far as a BP movie is concerned I just hope they do it justice. I've never really been a fan of the FF as a whole, but I actually shed a tear or two when I heard about what is happening. As for Wizard, it is a shame that they are doing this. I wonder though if they are going to at least help those they let go find employment. I wish them the best of luck in all future endeavors.

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. -.-

If NBC is doing it then don't hold your breath it's going to be good.   They are just as bad as FOX when doing super hero shows.

I don't have a problem with a reinvention as long as it is done well.  Smallville was a complete reinvention and it turned out great (IMO) and lasted.  On the other side of the coin you have Birds of Prey (never could finish watching the one and only season.)  I think Wonder Woman is a little more difficult to pull off on the screen without coming off very corny.  If they pay homage to the comic book universe character throughout the series then things like residing in Los Angeles and being a corporate exec are just the skin of the substance.  Only time will tell...
