'Wonder Woman' Pilot Screencaps And Review [Link]

Reminded me of Ozymandias in "Watchmen"

I'm guessing you already know that the "Wonder Woman" TV series is completely thrown out of the window after failing to impress network executives. But hey, that didn't stop iFanboy's Conor Kilpatrick go CIA-style and impressively grab a copy of the pilot episode featuring our favorite Amazon princess - and even reviews it for cripes sakes, stating that: "the streamlining of the script worked in the pilot's favor". 

I gotta tell you guys, that news made me really mad somehow, because WE ARE NOT GOING TO SEE THE A SINGLE WONDER WOMAN ACTION SCENE ON OUR TELEVISION SETS. Really sad.

Anyway, the least we can do right now is can bask in some Adrianne Palicki badassery rocking the costume (less the tight pants) with these photos below, coutesy of iFanboy:

Damn, Adrianne. Looking hot and confident here.

This is a bad-ass Adrianne/Wonder Woman. God, why wasn't this given a chance?

After all the fiasco and the termination of the show, I truly wish Adrianne all the best in her future endeavors. But still, I would LOVE to see her as Wonder Woman. Hopefully she gets another shot at the character - sometime in the near future.

NBC's New Fairy Tale-Horror-Drama Series 'The Grimm' A 'Fables' Rip-Off!?? WTF?

Fuck, I've seen (and read) this somewhere before. Zenescope's Grimm Fairy Tales? Fables? Damn.

Here's the official series description according to NBC:

Grimm is a new drama series inspired by the classic Grimm's Fairy Tales. Remember the fairy tales your parents used to tell you before bedtime? Those weren't stories -- they were warnings.

Nick Burkhardt (David Guintoli Turn The Beat Around) thought he prepared himself for the realities of working as a homicide detective until he started seeing things he couldn't quite explain. When his ailing Aunt Marie (guest star Kate Burton, Grey's Anatomy) arrives, Nick's life turns upside down when she reveals they are descendants of an elite group of hunters, also known as "Grimms," who fight to keep the balance of humanity safe from the supernatural creatures of the world. 

What is this? Fables with some added supernatural 'Twilight' crap? Fuck this. I'm disgusted by how they to rip one of the most beloved comic book series of this era and then make a lame TV series out of it. The trailer above sucks and I'm pretty sure that the whole series will blow. 

How can they make something like this and then not make an authentic, high-quality Fables series that we can all enjoy? Fuck damn.

NBC Snubs "Wonder Woman" TV Series

After all the shooting, the on-set pictures of Adrianne Palicki, and multiple costume changes, NBC has decided not to give "Wonder Woman" a slot in their network because of the "mixed response" they got from a test audience.

So for now, no fake WW boobies will show up on TV. Lynda Carter die-hards are jumping up and down right now for sure. 

Its a shame that I wouldn't see even just the pilot episode, because pilots are usually awesome, as proven by "Smallville" nine years ago.

New Wonder Woman Set Pics Reveal A Slightly Revamped Costume!

A couple of weeks ago everybody saw the first ever look at Wonder Woman star Adrianne Palicki with the iconic costume. And while that didn't look that bad in my opinion, I think that it could be improved with a few changes. Well, it seems that the show's producer's heard us and they did some minor tweaks to the wardrobe - and now, it looks absolutely better than the first one. 

So we got the following changes on the costume:

1. The freaking red boots - they are AWESOME.  One color change on that part changed everything.
2. Slightly dark blue color on the pants - I like it better than the bright blue before.
3. Non-latex/plastic pants - Woohoo! That's more like it.
4. Gold stars on the sides of the thighs - nice addition that gives a more "Wonder" vibe to it.

Now, check out some of the snapshots and a video from the Hollywood set showing Adrianne Palicki and her stunt-double jumping off cars after the cut.

And I have to admit - after I saw all the pictures and videos, the new costume and the cuteness of Palicki, I got more excited on seeing this show next year. I've got a pretty good vibe on this one now based on what I have seen.

Adrianne Palicki In Her 'Wonder Woman' Costume... Boobies + Latex

Yes guys. All in her tight-hugging latex glory, here is Wonder Woman star Adrianne Palicki in her first full costumed photo:

I like the pants thing going on, and Palicki definitely looks fantastic here - but I have a little bit of a problem with the face in this picture. I don't know, it looks like a bad photoshop job. Anyway, let's see how this would look like in the show's fight scenes.

Wonder Woman is a reboot of the 1970's TV series based on the DC comic book heroine and is currently handled by NBC.

Wonder Woman Update: How About Beyonce?

Beyonce as Wonder Woman - 'Yay' or 'Nay'?

I just read something on Hero Complex about Beyonce eyeing the role of Wonder Woman for the planned TV series by NBC. She says that "a black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing" and that it is time for something like that.

Oh noes. I don't want her shaking her booty in that suit and singing and dancing to  "Single Ladies" like she's wearing leotards. It would be a disaster. I just hope the producers won't pull the trigger on her. I would go with any other actress  like Megan Fox, Kaley Cuoco, or even Elisha Cuthbert. Hell, I would go with anybody but Beyonce. Cmon. And oh, forget Halle Berry. She's definitely out of the picture.

Let's do a photoshop preview. One friend of mine thinks that Megan Fox might be a good choice for the role. Hmmm.. let us see...

Damn! That looks more like it! I don't know about her acting, but I would go with her any day of the week instead of the former Destiny's Child lead.

What do you think guys? Who's your bet to play our feisty Amazon sweetheart?

Wonder Woman TV Show In The Works

So after years of speculation, Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman will hit our TV screens after all. NBC has just confirmed that they will produce the show starring our beloved Amazon superheroine. That's good news for all those who have been waiting to see her in live-action TV ala-Smallville.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the show would be come Smallville-ish, but there is a possibility. After all, its a superhero themed show. But what if I tell you that NBC is planning on a different and "modern" take on this classic DC heroine? According to Deadline Hollywood, they are going to do a "reinvention" of the character and that means making her a vigilante crime fighter in LA all while being a successful corporate executive who's trying to balance her crazy dual-identity life.

 Hmmm... So Diana is no longer an Amazon, but a Punisher-like character who kicks punk-asses in Los Angeles? Kind of skeptical about that, but I like the planned twist on the story.  Let us see how that fares. What do you think folks? Does that sound a 'yay' to you?

There's A New Superhero In Town: Get Ready For "The Cape"

Superhero fans, there is a new guy that looks like to kick some ass on your TV screens every week.  "The Cape" is airing its 2-hour premiere this January 9th on NBC that will star David Lyons as the new hero in black.

From Wikipedia:

  

"The series, set in the fictional metropolis of Palm City, follows an innocent cop who has been framed for a crime he did not commit and then left for dead after he is caught. He is eventually saved by a circus ringleader who prepares him with special abilities to defend himself against his foes. Separated from his wife and son, he tries to clear his name while protecting them from being killed in the event that he should be reported alive. He takes the law into his own hands by taking the guise of his son's favorite comic book hero, The Cape, after he is given a special suit that has unique capabilities. Vowing to get rid of the corruption that has taken over both the city and the police force, he goes after the person responsible for setting him up and causing his "demise".

Ordinary guy gets mystical powers and becomes the man who saves the day? Sounds good to me. That formula worked 70 years ago and for sure will work again in this new generation. I'm excited to see how this would fare. And because I only watch Smallville during weekends, adding this to my weekly TV schedule is a plus.

Don't forget to visit the official site and as usual you gotta watch the spectacular (yeah, I mean it) trailer after the jump:
