Wonder Woman heads to the small screen

It looks like my plans of lassoing the role of Diana Prince (aka Wonder Woman) after I have plastic surgery and take acting lessons have been dashed! Guess that’s what I get for procrastinating! Television producer David E. Kelley — you know, the guy who created a bunch of hit TV shows such as “Boston Legal,” “Ally McBeal” and “Doogie Hauser” — has gained the rights from DC Comics to do a television series reboot of “Wonder Woman.” Part of me is glad. “Wonder Woman” is sadly neglected as one of DC Comics trio of main superheroes, but then again, I’ve been kind of hoping for a movie version sometime soon. No word on who will play the character. My guess is they’ll go with an unknown. Hopefully a tall actress too. I’m sick of actresses under 6-feet tall being associated with the role. I mean, Diana is an Amazon after all!
