Producer Kelley Lassoes "Wonder Woman"

According to reports, DC Comics' "Wonder Woman" is again being developed for television, this time from writer/producer David E. Kelley ("Boston Legal"). Kelley is no stranger to 'genre' ideas, as his wife, actress Michelle Pfeiffer, played 'Catwoman', in the 1992 feature "Batman Returns".

Kelley is also noted for creating the TV series "Ally McBeal" and "Chicago Hope" as well as writing screenplays for the features "Lake Placid" and "Mystery, Alaska". The new series will be developed, similar to the CW's Vancouver-lensed "Smallville", now in its 10th and final season.

The best known adaptation of the Wonder Woman character was the three-season live-action series in the 1970's, starring actress Lynda Carter as the 'Amazon Princess' and her alter ego, 'Diana Prince'.

DC Comics recently rebooted the character with a new costume and origin backstory., different from the established 1940's originating character.

Meanwhile, the new statue of actress Lynda Carter, as television's "Wonder Woman", is now available as a limited edition.
