New Wonder Woman Series

[Jedah Crow]

Yeah, but Blue Beetle is not really a household named.
If anything, thanks to the JLA cartoon, Martian Man Hunter has a better chance to get his own TV series than BB.

Neither is Human Target who is an even more obscure DC character than Blue Beetle. Yet that show regularly attracts four times the viewers than Smallville does. On average about 8 million viewers for first run episodes versus Smallville's 2 million viewers for first run episodes.

A big factor in that is that FOX is in more households than CW but just the same, the brand name isn't that big of deal in which characters get tv shows.

Correct. Comic fans have a bad habit of assuming that a D-List character in comics means it won't get popular on television because people don't know about him. Forgetting the fact that said character can just be marketed differently.

That could only really work if they had an episode or two which focused on Hypolotia's stint as Wonder Woman from the comics, it shouldnt be the basis for a full series.

The writing material is there. It's selling it to the networks. Actually, setting it in WW2 would make the budget cheaper. Means they can take an Adventures of Superman approach, and avoid supervillains.

I hope this happens, Wonder Woman needs to regain her popularity

Exactly. Another example, just look at who started off the revival of comic book movies that we enjoyed in the past decade. It wasn't an established name like Batman, Spider-Man or the X-Men. It was a D-lister named Blade. A character who fails time and time again to support his own book yet finds great success in another medium.

I'd rather have her in a JLA spinoff of Smallville and then her own show.
