Who is wonder woman? Check this out (from wikipedia)
During World War II, Major Steve Trevor bails out during an air battle over the Bermuda Triangle, Paradise island. The island is home to the Amazons, beautiful, ageless women with great strength, agility, and intelligence. Amazon princess Diana rescues the handsome Trevor and nurses him back to health. Her mother, the Amazon queen, decrees that games shall be held to select one Amazon to return Trevor to the United States but she forbids Diana to participate. During the contest a blond woman shows exceptional skill and ties for first. The contest is decided through "Bullets and Bracelets," where each of the two take turns shooting at the other, who must try to deflect the bullets. The blond woman wins, very slightly injuring the opponent's arm. When she is pronounced the winner and presented with a golden belt, she removes her gold mask and headband, which reveals that she is Diana. Her mother realizes that she must go to America, as she is the strongest and fastest.
Her costume is designed to feature American emblems in the hope that she will be accepted in her new home, and her golden belt will be her source of strength and power. She retains her bullet-deflecting bracelets and also receives a golden lasso which is indestructible and forces people to obey and tell the truth when bound. Diana is now known as "Wonder Woman" and she flies to DC in an invisible plane. After dropping Trevor off at a hospital, the heroine stumbles upon a bank robbery, which she stops. A theatrical agent who sees her in action invites her to take her Bullets and Bracelets act on the road as a theatrical attraction. Diana is hesitant but needing money in this society, she agrees.
(Lynda carter as a classic Wonder Woman)
Meanwhile, Trevor's civilian secretary, Marcia, is a double agent for the Nazis. She seeks to aid top spies in killing Trevor and opposing the new threat, Wonder Woman, although her first attempt — arranging for an audience member to fire a machine gun at Wonder Woman during her stage act — backfires when the Amazon easily deflects the multiple bullets. Later, at the hospital, Diana disguises herself as a nurse in order to keep an eye on Trevor. As spy activities increase, Trevor leaves the hospital and is captured, prompting his "nurse" to transform into Wonder Woman to rescue him. Wonder Woman defeats the spy ring. The film closes as Trevor meets his new secretary, Yeoman Diana Prince (Wonder Woman in disguise).
Well, still no buzz whether Kelley will stick with the original plot or change the TV version into legal drama that he's good at. Even we still have no clue who's gonna play Wonder Woman.
With Smallville coming to its tenth, and the last, season, Wonder Woman could be the next great superhero series.
