Um... Yeah. Wonder Woman has the classic, regal beauty you'd see in one of Michelangelo's statues. This girl is cute, but in that "pretty girl from the mall" kind of way. Wonder Woman is also a trained soldier and a phenomenal athlete (if that term can be properly applied to a super-being) with a physique to match... The actress in that photograph has a nice-looking body in a general sense, but if she can throw a convincing punch I'll eat my shirt. For real.
My first choice, from the start, has been Catherine Bell. She is an exotic beautiful, 5'10", a kick boxer, rides motorcycles and is a decent actress (she also predicted who would win Superbowl 36, right down to the score). In fact the only thing working against her is the fact that she was born in 1968, meaning they would consider her to old for the roll. My guess is they were going for a lesser known (if not unknown) actress so people will focus more on the character then who is playing her (as they did with Lynda in 1975).
This costume is obviously inspired by the Jim Lee revamp, witch is sort of like New Coke, it sucks, and it is not needed. Add to that the fact that David E. Kelly is simply the wrong guy to write this show, just like Joss Whedon was the wrong guy to write the movie. I loved Boston Legal, and hated Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and neither style works for Wonder Woman. After all B.L. was pure satire, and Buffy was really the Insomnia Slayer (and he wanted Megan Fox as WW, I can't imagine a worse choice).
So the show (in my opinion) should star Catherine Bell, be produced by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar. I would probably have Greg Potter (is he still alive?), Len Wein, and Mindy Newell handle the writing, because they did such an awesome job when they revamped her in the 80's. I would, of course, involve the brilliant George Perez as much as I could. After all bringing Wonder Woman back after the Crises on Infinite Earths was mainly because of him. I would probably use something similar to what Erica Durance wore in the Comic-Con episode of Smallville from season 9.
I have a concept for a pilot posted on the None Tickling section of the Post Stories area of the forum if y ou want to check it out. It isn't funnished, but I think the idea is ok.

Normally I would agree with you on the subject of personal attacks, except that the comments made about Lynda Carter's career were jabs directed at me. I won't be waisting my time on that social climer or his lackies anymore.
