Wonder Woman in other media

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

In October 2013, WB President of Creative Development and Worldwide Production Greg Silverman talked about the possibility of Wonder Woman appearing in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice alongside both Superman and Batman. On November 7, 2013, Variety reported that Gal Gadot, Élodie Yung and Olga Kurylenko had auditioned for a lead female role, believed to possibly be Wonder Woman. On December 4, 2013, Gal Gadot was cast as Wonder Woman and also signed a three picture deal with the studio which includes Justice League and a solo Wonder Woman film. This film will mark the Amazonian superhero and her secret identity's first live action theatrical appearance. The film's producer Charles Roven revealed to The Hollywood Reporter in an interview that the character will be primarily based on her depiction in The New 52 as a 5000-year-old demigod and the daughter of Zeus.

In the film Diana Prince is an antiques dealer who is in Metropolis after finding out Lex Luthor has a photograph of hers. She originally steals the encrypted data from Bruce Wayne (who was also trying to steal Lex's information), but ultimately can't get into it due to its military level security and gives it back to Bruce. Bruce is able to decrypt the information and finds out that Diana is over a hundred years old and emails Diana the data while questioning her identity, also giving her Lex's files on other metahumans. After getting the information, she prepares to fly on a plane, only to see Superman and Doomsday's fight in Metropolis and decides to fly down to assist the Man of Steel and Batman in defeating the monster. She later attends Clark Kent's funeral in Smallville alongside Bruce, who tries to cure her skepticism of mankind and suggests finding the other metahumans to form a team.

Wonder Woman (2017)

After her appearance as Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman, Gadot's second appearance in the role will be a solo Wonder Woman film. It was announced, in October 2014, that Wonder Woman will be released in 2017 as the fourth installment of the DC Extended Universe. On October 23, 2014, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the studio are looking for female directors to direct the film, and the next day, Forbes reported that the studio had Kathryn Bigelow, Catherine Hardwicke, Mimi Leder, Karyn Kusama, Julie Taymor, Michelle MacLaren and Tricia Brook on the shortlist to direct the film. On November 12, 2014, The Wrap and The Hollywood Reporter reported that MacLaren, Lesli Linka Glatter and Jennifer Kent were the frontrunners to direct the film. On November 24, 2014, it was announced that Michelle MacLaren will direct the film along with Charles Roven, Zack Snyder and Deborah Snyder as producers. On February 20, 2015, Deadline reported that filming will start in Fall 2015 in London, England and Rome, Italy. On April 13, 2015, MacLaren had reportedly left the film, due to "creative differences". The next day, Variety reported that the studio are looking for actors for Steve Trevor with the script being written by Jason Fuchs. On April 15, 2015, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Patty Jenkins will direct the film. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Lynda Carter revealed that she would love to be involved with the film. On July 28, 2015, The Wrap reported that Chris Pine was cast as Steve Trevor in the film. Pine subsequently confirmed his casting to French website Premier.fr. On August 28, 2015, it was reported that Hoyte van Hoytema will be the cinematographer for the film, though he denied any involvement with the film the following day. Among the film sets are London and the Basilicata region in Southern Italy, in particular the ghost town of Craco, which has been considered as the possible location for the island of Themyscira. On November 2, 2015, The Wrap reports that Nicole Kidman is in talks to appear as Queen Hippolyta. Production will commence in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire. Production was confirmed to be underway on November 14, 2015 when actor Saïd Taghmaoui posted photos of himself and Chris Pine on set on his Facebook, but the photos were requested to be removed by the studio. On the 21st of November, Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis, Ewen Bremner, Elena Anaya, and Lucy Davis have officially been added to the cast. On January 15, 2016, Connie Nielsen was cast as Queen Hippolyta.

Justice League (2017)

On December 4, 2013, it was announced that Gadot will be reprising her role as Wonder Woman in Justice League in 2017.

Wonder Woman (1975–79)

Wonder Woman (TV series) is an American television series based on the DC Comics comic book superhero of the same name. Starring Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince and Lyle Waggoner as Steve Trevor Sr. & Jr., the show originally aired from 1975 to 1979.

Wonder Woman pilot movie (1974)

Wonder Woman is a 1974 television film loosely based on the DC Comics comic book superhero of the same name, directed by Vincent McEveety and starring Cathy Lee Crosby. The film was a pilot for an intended television series, being considered by ABC. Ratings were described as "respectable but not exactly wondrous," and ABC did not pick up the pilot. Instead, Warner Brothers and ABC developed a different Wonder Woman television concept that fit within the character of the time, turning away from the 1968-72 era that had influenced the pilot. That was fit within the restoration of the character created by William Moulton Marston, which premiered as a TV movie in 1975 and starred Lynda Carter. Crosby would later claim that she was offered the chance to reprise the role in that series.

Who's Afraid of Diana Prince? (1967)

The first attempt to produce a television series based on Wonder Woman occurred in 1967. The success of the Batman television series led Batman producer William Dozier to commission a pilot script by Stan Hart and Larry Siegel. Batman writer Stanley Ralph Ross was then asked to perform a re-write, after Hart and Siegel's script was deemed unsuitable. A portion of the pilot, under five minutes in length, was filmed by Greenway Productions, the company behind the Batman show under the title Who's Afraid of Diana Prince? The piece starred Ellie Wood Walker (Robert Walker Jr.'s wife) as Diana Prince, Linda Harrison as Diana's Wonder Woman alter ego and Maudie Prickett as Diana's mother.

In the proposed series Diana Prince (not Wonder Woman) would have been the focus of the comedy. Diana, an awkward and rather plain young woman, lives with her mother close to a United States Air Force base. Much of the film consists of her mother berating Diana about not having a boyfriend. When her mother leaves the room, Diana changes into her Wonder Woman costume and admires her reflection in a mirror. What she sees is not Diana Prince, but rather a sexy super-heroic figure (played by Linda Harrison) who proceeds to preen and pose as the song "Oh, You Beautiful Doll" plays on the soundtrack. The pilot ends with Diana climbing out a window and flying away, indicating that, despite her apparent delusions regarding her alter ego, she does have some super powers. This pilot episode was never broadcast and the project was abandoned.

The Brady Kids (1972)

Wonder Woman's first broadcast appearance was as a guest in an episode of The Brady Kids cartoon series in 1972, entitled "It's All Greek to Me" (voiced by Jane Webb). The Brady kids meet Diana Prince/Wonder Woman and together they find themselves accidentally transported back to the time of the Ancient Olympic Games. The kids plan to compete in the marathon and beat the Greek athletes to qualify for the race. Wonder Woman convinces the kids to disqualify themselves, explaining that if they win the race they will change the course of history. (Wonder Girl had already appeared in a series of Teen Titans cartoon shorts which was part of The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure cartoon show in 1967.) Interestingly, Filmation was planning a "Wonder Woman" pilot among other DC related projects.

Super Friends (1973–86)

Wonder Woman appeared in every incarnation of the Super Friends Saturday morning animated series. She was originally voiced by Shannon Farnon and later by Connie Caulfield in Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show, followed by B.J. Ward in The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians.

Superman (1988)

Wonder Woman guest starred in the Superman episode, "Superman and Wonder Woman versus the Sorceress of Time" wherein she and Superman battle a sorceress named Cyrene. BJ Ward reprised her role as the voice of Wonder Woman for this episode.

Her appearance is notable for being the first and, until her DC animated universe incarnation, only Post-Crisis animated version of Wonder Woman. Besides possessing the power of flight and no longer having either an invisible plane or high-heel boots, she had wavy hair more in line with George Pérez’s Post-Crisis interpretation of her. Like in the Super Friends series, her back was fully exposed.

Wonder Woman and the Star Riders (1993)

In 1992, Mattel planned a line of toys for girls with Wonder Woman leading a new cast of four female characters. Two had been previously established: Dolphin in 1968 and Ice in 1988. The other two were new characters invented for the series. Solara had sun-based fire powers while Starlily had earth-based plant powers. "Wonder Woman and the Star Riders" had the subtitle "Sparkling super heroines!" They were to be pitted against the villainess Purrsia (who has animal control abilities) and her mount, Panthera.

An announcement for an accompanying animated series was made during the 1993 Toy Fair, however a pilot was never produced beyond character designs and storyboards. A few test samples for the toy line were developed, as well as a short comic book story which would have been packaged with the figures. A mini comic was distributed as a breakfast cereal premium. Artwork has since been published in Les Daniels' 2000 book, Wonder Woman: The Complete History. The cancelled toy designs were recycled as part of the Tenko and the Guardians of the Magic toy line.

All the Star Riders ride winged horses, and Wonder Woman herself rides a winged unicorn named Nightshine.

Justice League (2001–04) and Justice League Unlimited (2004–06)

Justice League was the first chance to add Wonder Woman (voiced by Susan Eisenberg) to the DCAU, as the rights had been previously tied up in possible movies and television series.

To introduce her into a universe already populated by long-experienced heroes like Batman and Superman, Bruce Timm and his team took a cue from George Pérez’s newcomer-to-man's-world Post-Crisis interpretation. This Diana started off completely innocent and ignorant of man's world. And as with the Pérez version, she neither keeps a secret identity nor has an invisible plane (although in the Justice League Unlimited first season episode "For the Man Who Has Everything", we see her unveil the plane). Also in this series, her traditional bullet proof bracelet cuffs became bullet proof vambraces. However, perhaps as a nod to her Pre-Crisis appearance, she has straight hair and high-heeled boots suggestive of her old Super Friends incarnation. Also, her lasso did not compel truthfulness until the Justice League Unlimited episode "The Balance" in which Hippolyta activated her true power.

Her initial personality consisted of a strict adherence to Amazonian dogma (prompting some of her teammates, especially the more brash and headstrong Hawkgirl, to react to her attitude by calling her "Princess" somewhat disdainfully). Noticeable though is the effect of Man's World on Diana. Her first appearances are marked by her reflexively acting off of Amazonian ideology (in "Fury", she questions how necessary men really are), but as time passes, she becomes more interested in men (in particular, Batman, with whom she has a flirtatious and possibly romantic relationship) and experiences the emotional excesses of man's world, as compared to the Amazons (who are portrayed as somewhat stoic if not emotionally stunted). Batman's affections for Wonder Woman, however, are somewhat confirmed in the Unlimited episode "This Little Piggy", where he admits his feelings to Zatanna when requesting her help in changing Diana back (she was turned into a pig by Circe). Batman's and Wonder Woman's mutual feelings are implicated in the JLA episode "The Brave and the Bold", when Wonder Woman manages to stop a missile crashing into Gorilla City. When the weight of the missile head crushes her, Batman rushes to the site and attempts to clear the rubble while everyone else is too stunned by Wonder Woman's possible death to help. However, Wonder Woman is found unhurt, and when she sees Batman's gloves covered in dirt in his attempt to save her, she kisses him on the cheek. Batman and Wonder Woman share a kiss in the Justice League season finale "Starcrossed" (they kissed in order to hide their faces from Thanagarian patrol). In the episode "Kid's Stuff", Wonder Woman, in her eight-year-old form (voiced by Dakota Fanning), also flirts liberally with the young Batman, who acts as miniature version of his adult self, either ignoring or being embarrassed by her advances.

She finds joy but also discovers a temper that frequently needs to be checked by her teammates ("Hereafter", "Hawk and Dove", "Eclipsed", etc.). Later episodes dealt directly with her temper and Diana’s eventual mastery of it. She since adopted the role of ambassador of the Amazons at her mother’s request ("To Another Shore"), bringing another Post-Crisis trait to the DCAU.

While Wonder Woman’s origin in the DCAU is not detailed, in the episode "The Balance", it is revealed that she indeed was a clay statue sculpted by Hippolyta and somehow brought to life. In the same episode, Hades says that he helped Hippolyta sculpt the clay statue that would eventually become Diana, making him feel almost like a father to her, but was banished before she was brought to life. That claim, however, was never substantiated (when Hawkgirl points out she could use the lasso on him, Diana says it doesn't matter). It was revealed that the Wonder Woman armor was originally made by the god Hephaestus for her mother, Queen Hippolyta, not Diana. However, in episodes, again like "The Balance", it was insinuated and implied that the armor was eventually made for her purposes and use. She had stolen her armor to use once Hippolyta forbade her to enter the outside world. Later in the series it is revealed that Diana did not know that the armor had additional abilities, which could be activated by pressing the star on the tiara.

Steve Trevor made an appearance in the first season's three-part finale, "The Savage Time", when the League time-travels back to World War II in order to stop Vandal Savage changing history. In this story, Steve is an agent of the OSS, whom Diana falls in love with. They are separated when Diana goes to stop Savage's invasion of America and returns to the present day. In the episode's conclusion, she visits her friend, now a very old man, at a retirement community.

Wonder Woman's eventual fate is unknown, but Kobra mentions that she is still alive during the time of Batman Beyond. She was originally supposed to appear in the Batman Beyond episode "The Call", which featured a future Justice League. However, rights issues precluded the possibility and her cameo was instead taken by Big Barda. She returns in the Justice League Beyond 2.0 comic, which is set some years after the conclusion of the Batman Beyond series.

Her powers are almost the same as her comics counterpart, including flight and super strength, lending Wonder Woman the ability to hold out against Superman in a fight, while both were hallucinating. She has a weakness to pierce wounds as shown by Devil Ray's poisonous dart harming her. In "Grudge Match", she is able to singlehandedly defeat Vixen, Hawkgirl, Huntress and Black Canary in a no-holds barred fight.

South Park (2007)

In the Comedy Central animated series South Park, Wonder Woman plays a prominent role in the Imaginationland Trilogy, in which she is depicted as a member of the Council of Nine, consisting of the nine most revered of all imaginary characters. She along with Aslan, Gandalf, Glinda, Jesus, Luke Skywalker, Morpheus, Popeye and Zeus teach Butters to control his power of imagination to help defend their land against all the evil imaginary creatures created.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold (2008–11)

In Batman: the Brave and the Bold, Wonder Woman makes a non-speaking cameo as a member of the Justice League in the episode "Sidekicks Assemble". She is only shown from behind and is not identified by name. At San Diego Comic-Con 2010's Batman: The Brave and the Bold panel, it was confirmed that Wonder Woman would appear in an upcoming episode of the show. Wonder Woman appears in the opening segment of the 2011 episode "Scorn of the Star Sapphire!" rescuing Steve Trevor from Baroness Paula Von Gunther. Her appearance is accompanied by an arrangement of the classic 1970s Wonder Woman theme song. She was voiced by Vicki Lewis, who also voiced Star Sapphire in the same episode. She subsequently appears in "Triumvirate of Terror!", where she teams up with Batman and Superman to fight the combined threat of Cheetah, Lex Luthor and the Joker.

Young Justice (2010–13)

Wonder Woman appears in the animated series Young Justice voiced by Maggie Q. At New York Comic Con 2010, it was confirmed that there are no longer any restrictions involving DC characters appearing in animation, thus making it possible for Wonder Woman to be used. Wonder Woman appears in the pilot episode, "Independence Day", where she and the rest of the Justice League arrive at Cadmus Labs following its destruction. She is shown having a conversation with Superman about the fate of the newly discovered Superboy, though her words are not audible to the audience. She makes her first speaking appearance in the episode "Agendas," where she chastises Batman for recruiting Robin at such a young age and tries to have Captain Marvel thrown out of the League for lying about his age. Alongside the rest of the League, she is brainwashed by Vandal Savage's Starro spores in the closing moments of "Usual Suspects." In the season one finale, "Auld Acquaintance", she battles the members of Young Justice at Savage's behest before being trapped in an impenetrable force-field created by Rocket. She is presumably freed from Savage's control along with the rest of the League. In Young Justice: Invasion, Wonder Woman has taken on Cassie Sandsmark as her sidekick. She leaves Earth along with several other Leaguers in the episode "Alienated," in order to stand trial for crimes the team committed while under Savage's control.

Superman/Batman: Apocalypse (2010)

Wonder Woman (voiced again by Susan Eisenberg, who had previously voiced her in the DCAU) plays a role in the animated film Superman/Batman: Apocalypse.

After two months of training on Paradise Island, Darkseid sends an army of Doomsday clones to the island, and Diana fights them along with Superman, Batman and her Amazonian army. Mid-way through the fight, Batman realizes something is out of place and leaves the fight. Superman destroys the Doomsday army with his heat vision. Batman informs Wonder Woman and Superman that the Doomsday army was a diversion as Darkseid came and kidnapped Kara and killed Lyla as well. This prompts the three of them to go to Apokolips along with Big Barda. On Darkseid's planet, Wonder Woman fights the Female Furies and Granny Goodness along with Barda.

Video games

Announced pilots (1990s)

In 1990, Comics Scene magazine announced a new syndicated Wonder Woman series to be produced and distributed by Warner Bros. Later in the 1990s, a new syndicated Wonder Woman project produced and distributed by Warner Bros. was announced for television. However, no pilot was filmed for either project.

Smallville

The producers of the television series Smallville had wanted Diana to make a cameo appearance (in the manner of Green Arrow, Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg and the Martian Manhunter) and become a part of the proto-Justice League that appears in that show. However, due to Wonder Woman being developed as a feature film by Joss Whedon, the idea had to be abandoned. She was only briefly referenced, but not by name - by Chloe Sullivan in the series' tenth and final season, when she mentioned "a wondrous woman" that she had encountered while researching other heroes during her time away from the others. Also, Lynda Carter made a guest appearance as Moira Sullivan, Chloe's mother in the Season 6 episode "Progeny". Diana appears in the Season 11 comic book continuation of the show.

NBC pilot (2011)

Reports surfaced in October 2010 that Warner Bros. Television was teaming with writer-producer David E. Kelley to pitch a new Wonder Woman television series to networks. The major networks all turned down the series, but NBC, the final network to initially pass on the project, announced that they had ordered a pilot on January 21, 2011. The plot is described as "a reinvention of the iconic DC comic in which Wonder Woman – aka Diana Prince – is a vigilante crime fighter in L.A. but also a successful corporate executive and a modern woman trying to balance all elements of her extraordinary life." On February 16, 2011, it was announced that Adrianne Palicki was selected to play the title role. Elizabeth Hurley played villain Veronica Cale and Tracie Thoms played Diana's personal assistant, Etta Candy. Pedro Pascal was cast as Ed Indelicato, Wonder Woman's liaison to the police department and Cary Elwes's Henry Detmer runs the day-to-day operations of Diana's company. Actor Justin Bruening was cast to play Steve Trevor. Jeffrey Reiner directed the pilot. On May 12, 2011, NBC announced that it would not be picking the project up for a series.

Amazon

The CW, Warner Bros. Television and DC Comics announced development of a script for a possible television series, titled Amazon, about the origin of Wonder Woman in September 2012. The details about casting notices and information on the pilot episode of Amazon were released in November 2012, before the series had even been approved to shoot the pilot. TV Line reported in January 2013 that CW President Mark Pedowitz told journalists that they're waiting for the script of the pilot and were busy with the casting of Diana. Scottish actress Amy Manson is reported to be in the running for Diana. On January 28, 2013, the network pushed the pilot back until the 2014/15 season.

On May 16, 2013, it was announced that The CW still has the show in development, with a new script by Aron Eli Coleite, replacing Allan Heinberg, who wrote the previous script for the planned pilot. With the announcement in July 2013 that the new Flash TV series, The Flash, by Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg would be fast-tracked, Pedowitz confirmed that "Amazon is on pause (as) the script is not exactly what we wanted, and with an iconic character like Wonder Woman, we have to get it right." In January 2014, Pedowitz confirmed the CW passed on the second script order, with no plans to revisit the project or character unless the material was right. Geoff Johns had hinted that Wonder Woman would appear in Arrow due to the Amazon taking place in the same universe.
