So, NBC rejected that Wonder Woman pilot.

Good.

I love Wonder Woman, but that David E. Kelley script looked like a family-size shit sundae. I’m sorry that I won’t get to see Adrienne Palicki take on the role, but if they’re not going to do the character justice, then Mr. Kelley can just fuck right off. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to get back to hoping for a Gail Simone-penned, Joss Whedon-directed Wonder Woman movie.

I am sad. I am NOT okay with this. She looks like a stripper :(

(Nothing to do with the actress, BTW, just the costume. Latex was a very bad choice)

Part of me is okay with this, and part of me is not.

The part of me that is okay with this, is the part that realizes how much worse this costume could’ve been. I mean, this is a TV adaptation of a comic book. Think about it. If Smallville has taught us anything, it’s that the margin for error in these projects can be huge. For the most part, on the most basic level, this is a fairly straightforward Wonder Woman costume. Could be worse.

On the other hand, however, this looks a lot like one of those godawful, store-bought “sexy” Halloween costumes. Meagan’s right about the poor choice in materials, but even that wouldn’t hurt so bad, if only they hadn’t gone with such gaudy colors. I guess that David E. Kelley is maybe trying to make the series “lighter” and less intense than most superhero adaptations, but… no. This, this is left wanting in the dignity department.

And the lipstick? Okay, I get that Kelley is fucking with the character a bit, giving her a new interpretation, etc. But would an Amazonian warrior (assuming that part of her backstory is still intact) really take the time to apply lipstick before kicking ass?

Ugh. Look, I certainly hope that the series turns out well and not at all like the Bionic Woman remake, both for the sake of the character (whom I love) and for the future of superhero adaptations. Really. But given how much of a shit-show Kelley’s script seems to be, I expect to be praying for its quick, painless death.

Apparently, superhero costumes turn me into a gay man. I’m okay with that.

So, Tom Hardy is Bane.

Man oh man, do I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I think Tom Hardy is pretty great, Star Trek: Nemesis notwithstanding. On the other hand, Bane is Hispanic, and Tom Hardy is not. There isn’t exactly a vast wealth of non-white heroes and villains in the comic book world, so it kind of feels, uh, not good to see Bane get whitewashed.

Also, I’m a big stickler for accuracy in comic book movies, regardless of the character’s race. I was annoyed by the idea of Donald Glover portraying Peter Parker, and I’m annoyed by this. Hey, I trust Chris Nolan, and he’s indicated that he’s going with a different interpretation of the character, but… Eh. This just feels icky.

But hey, go right ahead and slather on the Anne Hathaway, Chris. Go riiight ahead.
