Found this, thought it wasn't bad, if perhaps too much of a departure from her traditional look:Project Rooftop does some pretty cool stuff.
It's a cool outfit, but a bit harsh.
I think a lot of stuff ignores her diplomat side and overemphasizes the warrior aspect. Which, while part of her character, is not the whole thing.
Originally posted by Q99I don't think I'd use the word 'harsh'. My impression is, if you're going to change things to this extent, just make up a whole new female superhero. Kind of like the American Godzilla film: they changed so much, just make it a whole new monster, instead of cashing in on a name and roar.

Originally posted by Q99Interesting point. Certainly it's an aspect I didn't much consider.

You know, as long as Wonder Woman will appear on the small screen, there's no chance of a Justice League movie; they wouldn't make it without her (would they?) So for the length of time it takes to get this thing in production, and however long it runs, there will be no JL movie.
Why can't they have both WW on the small screen and big screen?

Because it's wrong. I felt that way when they did the first X-Files movie; it was a con to get us to watch it while the series was still running. At least when they did the Star Trek films, there wasn't any series running that had the principal cast. Only way it works is if there's an animated series of Wonder Woman; there would be no confusion of perception among the casual audience. Animated series can run concurrent with a live action film series. Another live action series on TV? - No.
Marvel Studios & Disney may be prepping a live action SHIELD series that ties into continuity, but they will be off in another direction, filling in the background details. When there's an Avengers movie, they will just continue in a support role.

There is no rule for it, though. They could very well be prepping for a JLA movie and a live action WW TV show as well. A JLA movie will happen, IMO. It's likely delayed, but there will be one eventually.

There's no rule written down, per se. But it's an understanding. Hollywood executives want you to come to the cinemas to watch what you can't see for free on TV. Hence why there won't be a live action Wonder Woman on TV and in the movies at the same time. They bent the rule somewhat with Smallville/Superman Returns, but it was a very different continuity with Clark not being Superman, there.
There are few examples of double dipping. Why I felt the X-Files movie was a cheat was because they wouldn't reveal or settle anything permanently, while the series was still ongoing. They did double dip during the animated days of Transformers in 1980's, but at least that movie signaled the beginning of a big new direction for the TV series that followed.

He's already gone on record that it's full steam ahead. And confirmed it again last week at the comic con. Nothing is guaranteed, but he seems pretty serious about it.
He was all full steam ahead on his adaptation of At The Mountains Of Madness too, with Tom Cruise as his star and James Cameron producing. And Universal still plugged the plug at the 11th hour. It's true, about nothing is guaranteed - until they are finally out there, cameras rolling.
