Wonder Woman Reboot Canceled
Wonder Woman seemed to be fighting an up hill battle from the start and it's now clear the show just did not have the strength it needed to prevail. NBC has decided to pull the plug on the reboot for Wonder Woman starring Adrianne Palicki as the title character. Even after the show redesigned Wonder Woman's costume (the first getting heavy backlash from fans on the internet) test screenings just did not go well.
With the show's premise being that Wonder Woman was apparently a successful corporate executive who has Amazonian powers, who decides to fight crime by night in tights and a halter top can you really be shocked that screenings didn't go well? There are fans who will surely be upset by this news but it seems that there are many who are happy to see NBC's decision, possibly because they rather not have a show than have a sub-par one. This is unfortunate however for Palicki who had stared in the show Friday Night Lights and was hoping that she had found her next big role. Best of luck to her in her next project.
For now Wonder Woman will have to return to her home in Themyscira and wait for a new adventure to come her way.
