Post The Wonder Woman Pilot

I was reading the history of attempts to get Wonder Woman off the comic pages and in to some other media. And I came across this line about the recent television pilot:

We watched the unaired pilot, and found that it was "bad in the ways that we were all expecting, but it's also bad in other, more fundamental, ways."

With my spidey senses tingling, I came across this review.

It looks like the creators made the usual mistake of portraying strong women as mild jerks.

But it anyone think this would be a good bad movie to catch?

Here's a fan made trailer to give you some scenes from the movie (recommend watching with sound off).

There was also a pilot (Search YouTube) from the sixties that ran seven minutes! It was obviously inspired by the Batman show, but it would have been great to have Wonder Woman as a "special guest star" on the Batman TV show.

Then there's the forgetable Cathy Lee Crosby pilot.

Mild jerk? More like sociopathic thug. Linkara, Film Brain and Nash did a great rundown here;

When I find Mr. Plinkett more cuddly and moral than I do WINO (Wondy in name only) something has gone very wrong.

I've now seen the review.

It looks like the creators tried come up with a hybrid of Batman and Jack Bauer and failed miserably.

The secret to Jack Bauer was that the bad guys tried to hide behind the law while they carried out their evil plans. Jack would bend the law when he saw it appropriate.

In Dark Knight, the Joker's violence was escalating to a point were something had to be done-FAST. Which in turn, led to the tapping of all the phones in Gotham.

It seems like here, they took disapproval of due process for granted and went from there.
