Wonder Woman 2011 Pilot

Adrianne Palicki (Friday Night Lights) brought the Amazon Princess to life in David E. Kelly's new Wonder Woman pilot.
The story and the outfit caused some controversy among internet comic book fans, to the point of the costume being changed (even thoough the producers denied the idea that outrage caused the change)
If you can find the pilot online....well you can watch it if you are really curious.
I wouldnt advise it though.
Adrianne is a great Wonder Woman.
I mean she really looks the part.
Given a better story, this might have really been something and been a forerunner of "Supergirl".
As it is, this Diana basically killed everyone that ran afoul of her, which seems to be popular with comic fans these days.
But it wasn't "Wonder Woman".

Since this, Adrianne went on to play Barbara "Bobbi" Morse (Mockingbird) on the ABC series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and that character too almost got a series.
Also, one of the Wonder Woman costumes in the pilot wound up worn on Harry's Law by Erica Durance (Smallville's Lois Lane).
She was playing a delusional client who believed she was the real Wonder Woman.
That episode was better than the pilot.

Wonder Woman - Brigitte Goudz

Earlier this year I did a post about the incredible Brigitte Goudz cosplaying Wonder Woman on another blog of mine.
Well I don't know if it was actually considered real cosplay, but she was dressed up as Wonder Woman.
And what a Wonder Woman she is.
Though Brigitte is only five foot six and weighs 135 pounds this is seriously what Princess Diana should look like in real life.

Maybe if the CW's superhero shows need an Amazon Princess for a cameo......

Tala Ashe as Zari Adrianna Tomaz

Yeah we all know that Tala Ashe as Zari Adrianna Tomaz on Legends of Tomorrow is Isis.
I guess they just can't use that name now because of...well...you know...the terrorist group.
People would probably lose their minds if they had a Muslim superhero called Isis on the TV show.
The closest Zari got to wearing the old TV show costume was on a Halloween episode of Legends.

Well it was close.....

Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman

As live action comic book heroines go, probably the best ever was Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman.
She rivals Chris Reeve as Superman as far as fan loyalty goes even to this day.
At five foot nine, 122-130 pounds and measuring 38-25-35, she filled out the red, white and blue costume quite well.
But it wasn't only that.
This Wonder Woman was kind, gentle and even when faced with the worst bad guys, she implored them to turn over a new leaf and give up their life of crime.
And if they didn't, she used minimum force to take them out.

I prefered the first season, but in the second season episode, Anschluss '77, Nazis hiding in South America tried to rebuild the Third Reich by cloning Hitler.
There is a scene where Wonder Woman sees the "new" Nazis gathering and she has flashbacks to World War 2 as she is watching them.
That was a pretty powerful scene for a show that was usually just fluff.

Maisie Richardson-Sellers - Vixen

Maisie Richardson-Sellers was born on March 2, 1992 in London, England.
She has appeared on The CW series The Originals, the ABC Biblical series Of Kings and Prophets and as Amaya Jiwe aka Vixen on The CW superhero series Legends of Tomorrow.
Here are some pictures of Maisie in her suit.
You don't see a lot of that on Legends.
Nobody really wears their costumes at all.
They might as well just be "normal" time travellers in most cases.
Sometimes I even forget they are superheroes.
Sorry...."Legends."

Sophie Turner as Jean Grey (Phoenix)

In X-Men: Apocalypse we got a younger version of Jean Grey / Phoenix  portrayed by Sophie Turner.
And we even got a hint of Dark Phoenix again.
That hint will become reality on November 2nd 2018 when X-Men: Dark Phoenix is released.

Jean Grey (Phoenix) - Famke Janssen

Famke Janssen was the lady that brought Jean Grey/Phoenix to life in X-Men, X2: X-Men United, and X-Men: The Last Stand.
One of the better translations from the comic to the big screen at first.
But then they went WAY off course with her.
However, with The Wolverine and X-Men: Days of Future Past, they seemed to try to pull stuff back together.
Well...as much as they could.
I really don't blame Famke at all.
I thought she was great.

Caity Lotz as Sara Lance aka White Canary

Just as in the 1960s with Batgirl, Sara Lance was created specifically for television (Arrow) by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg.
Though they did use some elements from the Black Canary in the comics.
She started out under the name The Canary, which she got from her League of Assassins name Ta-er al-Sahfer (Yellow Bird), and then became White Canary on Legends of Tomorrow.
Caity Lotz plays her now, though in the pilot for Arrow, she was played by Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Dammit Barry!).
To tell you the truth, I originally didn't like Caity as Sara Lance.
But she quickly grew on me on Legends and now (next to Mick) she is my favorite character on the show.

Melissa Benoist as Supergirl

Say what you will about the show, but I really don't think they could have gotten a better Supergirl than Melissa Benoist.
She is pretty much Supergirl come to life. 

Even when she's evil......

Supergirl and The Flash. My favorite CW teamup.

There really is a lot of comic book related activity there, so if you havent checked it out, you might want to.

But with over 2000 Pins on that board, there's a lot to go through.
So I thought it would be cool to look back and post some of the pictures here that seem to be really popular there on Pinterest.

Adam Hughes - Catwoman

Although I have said before that one of my favorite Catwoman artists is Jim Balent, he ties with Adam Hughes.
Adam draws incredible women as it is, but his Audrey Hepburn inspired Catwoman is incredible.

You can see more of Adam's work at his website here:
