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.

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:

Wonder Woman - 1940s

I saw these old black and white pictures of Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman in the 70s TV series and started thinking....
What if Wonder Woman with Lynda Carter had been a 1940s serial like Batman, Superman or Adventures of Captain Marvel?
Could we have gotten a Justice Society of America serial?
Would superhero films have been an accepted genre in movies like westerns, comedies, science fiction and dramas?

TV's Batman, Adam West, Passes Away

Television's (and to a whole generation of us) Batman, Adam West passed away Friday night in Los Angeles at the age of 88.
A representative said that he died after a short battle with leukemia.

"Our dad always saw himself as The Bright Knight, and aspired to make a positive impact on his fans’ lives. He was and always will be our hero." his family said in a statement.

Well said.

DC Comics Maxima in the Flesh

The DC character Maxima has appeared on TV in the flesh twice.

The first time was on the CW show Smallville where she was played by Charlotte Sullivan.
A very pretty actress to say the least, but she didn't look like someone that could go toe to toe with Superman.

But on Supergirl, we got former WWE Diva and BJJ trainer Eve Torres Gracie, who looked more like she could take on Supes.

Amber Heard as Mera in Justice League

Amber Heard as Mera in Justice League.
Outstanding.

"The images and video below include both concept art for Mera's costume design as well as a production unit still -- taken by director Zack Snyder himself -- of Heard in full costume as Mera."

UPDATE:
Another shot of Amber in costume.
It looks a bit different though.

I really don't know what to say so I will just post what I will remember....
His incredible art....

Laura Vandervoort in Supergirl?

I do not have a thing against Melissa Benoist who plays Supergirl on the CBS series.
I think she is great.
But you have to give props to Laura Vandervoort (SyFy’s werewolf drama Bitten), was the original live action Supergirl on CW’s Smallville.
I know there are a few rumors that have floated around about Laura maybe showing up on Supergirl at some point which I think would be great.
But they are really nothing more than rumors.
Though they did cast Helen Slater (the movie Supergirl) and Dean Cain (Lois and Clark) in roles....
So you never know.
Who could she play?
I like the idea of her crossing over from Earth 2 as Powergirl.

Anyway, here is the beautiful Laura who had to play Supergirl without ever really getting a costume.....

Justice League Unlimited (2004)

While the Justice League may have been the best of the best in the DC animated universe at the time, they decided to take it a step further with Justice League Unlimited. JLU took over right where Justice League left off and even though sadly it was the last series in the DC animated universe, Justice League Unlimited pulled out all the stops. This time we got our founding members, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl and (not near enough) Flash, and they also added just about every DC hero they could, even if at times it was just background shots. With almost 60 heroes total, it was kind of hard to balance the stories.

Here is where some people have a problem with JLU. Originally with seven members, it was fairly easy to give everyone screen time. But with sixty? That’s a whole 'nother story.

We did get some really cool "stunt" voice casting though. Along with the originals I mentioned before we got.... John C. McGinley (Scrubs) as Atom (Dr. Ray Palmer) Jerry O'Connell (Sliders) as Captain Marvel (Billy Batson) Oded Fehr (The Mummy) as Doctor Fate (Kent Nelson/Nabu) Jeremy Piven (Entourage) as Elongated Man (Ralph Dibny) Michael T. Weiss (The Pretender) as Etrigan the Demon (Jason Blood) Jeffrey Combs (The Reanimator) as Question (Charles Victor Szasz/Vic Sage)

In a couple of cool moves we got "The Wonder Years" Kevin and Wayne Arnold (Fred Savage and Jason Hervey) as brothers Hawk and Dove.

And the cast of Firefly was well represented as Nathan Fillion, Morena Baccarin, Gina Torres and Adam Baldwin all showed up on the show at one time or another. In a really cool episode Vigilante (Fillion) was piloting a spaceship as Vixen (Torres) complained about it.

All good things must come to an end and so did Justice League Unlimited. We got two years worth of good shows before it left and took the DC animated universe with it. There were more DC cartoons true, but none were set in that Universe.

The Comics 9/11 Response

Today is the anniversary of the World Trade Centers attack on September 11th, 2001.
It rocked the world.
Everyone that was alive that day here in the US know exactly where they were when they heard about the attacks.
As a comic book fan, I wondered how Marvel and DC would react to the attacks.
I knew they couldn't just not mention them.

Here are what I consider the four most poignant images that were created in regards to that terrible day......

Sara Solomon - Wonder Woman - Joker Connection?

Okay this is kinda weird.....
This is fitness model and fitness trainer Dr, Sara Solomon dressed up as Wonder Woman at a fitness competition.
Sexy Wonder Woman....nice....but then I noticed something.
Wonder Woman is carrying a crowbar.
Why?
Then my mind wandered as it often does.
In the Justice League cartoon, WW and Batman were an item.
And in the comics, Joker "killed" Robin with a crowbar.
Did WW go and take out Joker and took the crowbar as a trophy?
Look at the way she is holding it up over her head in the picture.
The final straw was that picture at the bottom with Wonder Woman running through the streets....and Joker graffiti on the walls.

Maybe I just read too much into things....
Either that or Sara has a vast comic book knowledge and pulled a HUGE inside joke.

By the way, you can see more Sara at her Facebook page here:
