After how The Cape did, it doesn't surprise me that they aren't going for it.

hey! i really liked the cape; it was goofy and silly but at the same time kind of neat, just had to accept it for what it was.

I watched it. I personally thought it was bad TV, but I watched it.

So despite NBC's move to pass on it, they at least considered a new costume. I say take out the gaudy belt buckle and I'd have watched. The actress is Adrianne Palicki.

Their embedding code uses the same style as youtube's current version (not the old version I prefer), but here's 4 minutes from the pilot with both costumes involved.

Yeah, that's looks about as cheesy as I expected. Looks like it belongs on SciFi more than a network channel. I realize the video wasn't completely finished in parts (looks like some special effects still needed to be added), but it just looked kind of silly. Wonder Woman won't work as a television series.

I found a couple of things odd about her actions in that. She's doesn't want to turn a guy over to the police because he'll just "lawyer up". Then, she kills a dude at the very end of the video. I'm not that familiar with Wonder Woman, but that doesn't seem very superhero-ish of her. Is she known for this?
