The pilot episode, which Kelley notes is designed to run “without commercial interruption,” revolves around Los Angeles-based mega-billionaire Diana-who collects planes and a multitude of transforming aircraft called “Ultimates” (no invisible plane in sight here)-as she attempts to take down an evil pharmaceutical company run by morally corrupt scientist Veronica Cale, who is mass-producing a human-growth hormone that is causing its users, mostly black inner city youth, to die. In Kelley’s vision, Wonder Woman is presented as a weepy career woman-slash-superheroine with three identities (Wonder Woman Diana Themyscira, the chairman of Themyscira Industries and mousy assistant Diana Prince) to juggle. The Daily Beast has obtained a copy of Kelley’s draft of the Wonder Woman pilot script, dated December 16, 2010-and it’s laughably bizarre. Reportedly, every major broadcaster passed on Kelley’s Wonder Woman project until NBC reconsidered its position and ordered a pilot late last month.

And Kelley’s expertise-talky legal dramas-doesn’t seem at first glance to lend itself to the superhero genre. After all, several attempts to adapt Wonder Woman, which had also famously been a successful 1975-1979 ABC and CBS series starring Lynda Carter-including a feature film version from Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon-had fallen flat.

Television to develop a take on the lasso-happy Amazonian warrior.

So it surprised many in the television industry-and Wonder Woman-loving comics readers, too-that Kelley was given the go-ahead by studio Warner Bros.
