I had an idea years ago to do a Justice League type show in the style of Steven Bochco. Every episode would start in the conference room (a la _L.A. Law_) when Superman walks in carrying a briefcase. All the other superheroes are already seated around the table. SUPERMAN: “Okay everyone, settle down. Old business. Batman, how did your testimony in the Anselmo case go yesterday?” BATMAN: “The defense attorney filed a motion to exclude the video from the dash cam in the Batmobile. He’s just stalling, but I’ll be stuck there all day today.” SUPERMAN: “You’re supposed to be at the dedication of that playground at 2:00.” BATMAN: “Take it up with the judge.” SUPERMAN: “Wonder Woman, you’re off to Mexico to negotiate rights to use their airspace?” WONDER WOMAN: “Leaving at 11:00.” SUPERMAN: “We’ve got you a room at the Intercontinental. Penthouse was already booked. Sorry” WONDER WOMAN: “The President offered to let me stay at the mansion. Not a chance.” SUPERMAN: “With that oil spill in the Panama Canal, we really need this. Would it hurt you to show a little leg?” WONDER WOMAN: \ SUPERMAN: “Aquaman, any luck finding that revolver that was tossed in the river?” AQUAMAN: “I’ve asked around. No one has seen it.” SUPERMAN: “Well, I’ve got to hand the mayor something on this. We need his pull with the planning commission to expand the heliport. The rest of you, we’re interviewing the new associates today, no more putting it off. \ And we’re done” Cue the music. There’s something about that combination of the fantastic and the mundane that I love. There was a scene in _Lois & Clark_ where he first decided to become a superhero and his mother was making a costume for him. There’s a musical montage of him trying on the different designs. The first one was leopard print. To me, that sort of thing is hysterical. Whether this new show will have it, I don’t know. And maybe that joke would play itself out too quickly, but I’m curious to see what Kelley comes up with. ---

I always thought Olivia Munn would make a perfect Wonder Woman. ---

> [@cckerberos](#): > > Everyone recognizes her costume but I seriously doubt that your average TV viewer knows anything else about her. Changing her origin story isn’t going to bother anybody the way playing around with Batman or Superman would. What is being changed is not her origin story. It’s the type of person Wonder Woman is (or at least, what aspects of her character are focused on). Does your average TV viewer think of Wonder Woman as the sort of person who would sit around in her pajamas and eat icecream because she ran into an ex-boyfriend? Because apparently Kelley does. ---

David E. Kelley? I’ll give it a look, but it probably won’t be good. ---

Yeah, David E. Kelly is dead wrong as the scriptwriter for Wonderwoman, sexy kickass superwoman just isn’t his style. I’m thinking clusterfuck. As an alternative, I suggest: [Wonderalla!](http://nonadventures.com/2006/09/09/the-torment-of-a-thousand-yesterdays/) ---

[Unfortunately](http://www.ifanboy.com/content/articles/SCRIPT_REVIEW __David_E__ Kelley_s_WONDER_WOMAN_Pilot) [not](http://io9.com/#!5749577/nbcs-wonder-woman-is-a-powerful-ceo-who-loves-ice+cream-sleepovers). There’s only one way I can think of to redeem a scene about Wonder Woman having an icecream sleepover with a girlfriend because she ran into an ex-boyfriend, and NBC isn’t going to let that happen. ---

The OP’s link says the David E. Kelley Productions is going to be involved in producing the TV series. Looking at Mr. Kelley’s filmography ( [David E. Kelley - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_E._Kelley#Filmography) ) on wiki, it seems like he specialises in drama. Does that bode ill for an action hero(ine)? Note: I realise that he himself may not be writing the script… ---

> [@AClockworkMelon](#): > > Wait. > > You seriously didn’t know that the X-Men were old as dirt? No, I seriously didn’t know that. I was all about Barbies and then I went straight to Michael Jackson. I barely noticed comic books when I was young. Had never heard of X-Men until the movie came out when I was an adult. Seriously. I know a lot of things make me a freak, but I really don’t think this is one of them.
