No Wonder Woman TV Show?

Poor Wonder Woman.  She just can't catch a break these days.  For years Warners has tried to find a way to bring her to the big screens, notoriously rejecting Joss Whedon's plans to write and direct an adaptation.  It looked like with a new creative department dedicated to revitalizing DC comics properties at least she would have a shot at a TV series.  And after a series of pitches to the networks, there will be no TV show for the Amazonian Princess (or whatever the hell her latest origin is).

According to rumors, the situation wasn't entirely due to the writing.  While many denied the script, the high liscensing fee demanded by Warners made it impossible to use at NBC.  Most interesting was the rejection by ABC, the network that seemed most suited for a Wonder Woman show.  Keep in mind that ABC is owned by Disney, who as of last year also owns Marvel.  Not only is ABC already developing superhero shows for the Hulk and Jessica Jones, I doubt they would want hire outside talent when they have the entire character library to work with.  So Wonder Woman just got beaten to a TV show by...Jessica Jones.  That's kind of embarassing.

So to all you Wonder Woman fans, it doesn't look like she'll be getting a show in the near future.  Warners will still develop a movie adaptation of the character, but knowing her track record I wouldn't hold your breath.
