Bring Back Wonder Woman

Studio 360

In September, DC Comics rebooted all of its main story lines, wiping the slate clean for the best-known superhero titles. Each starts over at issue #1. Fans were puzzled as Wonder Woman came back as a horror comic, fighting supernatural ickies rather than putting bad guys in the place.

It’s been a tough year for Wonder Woman. NBC’s much-anticipated pilot, written by David E. Kelley and starring Adrianne Palicki, was not picked up for broadcast. And she sat in Hollywood purgatory while B-list guys (Thor, Green Lantern) had their moment in the spotlight. With women now at 50% or more of the workforce, why is the only female superhero with any clout in semiretirement? Studio 360’s Eric Molinsky looks at the skeletons in Wonder Women’s closet.
