At first, this show popped up and people were excited, and then a week later it was said that NBC had dropped it just that quickly, and out of the blue a couple of weeks ago, they said it was going to be given a chance. This show hasn't even started and it already has some strange stuff going on. Unfortunately, this got worse when someone got a hold of the pilot script.
1. Some how Wonder Woman will have 3 identities (2 besides WW). Diana Themyscira who runs Themyscira Industry's and another as Diana Prince. Apparently people know that Diana Themyscira is WW.
2. There is no Invisible Jet, but that is probably for the best. That should be forgotten really.
3. Steve Trevor is a government agent who at some point (years ago it seems) crash landed on Themyscira. Fell in love with Diana and brought her back to New York, but now they are not together (but will apparently "pine after" him).
4. Themyscira is like the "Lost" Island in that no one can get back, and when she left she is no longer immortal.
5. The script apparently calls for her to sing along with girly pop songs on the radio.
6. She just "waves her hands and the bracelets just magically deflect the bullets", not that she deflects bullets with the bracelets.
Most of this sounds like a dumbing down of Wonder Woman, making her more of a passive character than the aggressive character she should be. None of this is set in stone, nothing has been filmed yet. Since it is still early many things can change, but even as this was part of the script that helped get the show started doesn't sound good. Time will tell of course. But until then, it doesn't look good.
