Appearances in other media

Animation

The Brady Kids (1972)

Wonder Woman's first animated appearance was as a guest in The Brady Kids cartoon episode entitled "It's All Greek to Me." (Wonder Girl had already appeared in a series of Teen Titans cartoon shorts which was part of the Batman/Superman Hour cartoon show in 1967.) In 1972, Filmation Associates and executive producer Sherwood Schwartz adapted the popular live action TV show The Brady Bunch to animation, resulting in this ABC Saturday morning (and later syndicated) show. ...

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 witch named Cyrene (who was curiously similar to the comic book villain Circe). B.J. Ward reprised her role of Wonder Woman for the episode. As a 50th anniversary gift, DC Comics legendary Man of Steel got a brand-new Saturday morning cartoon. ... Circe is a fictional character in the DC Comics universe, centered in the Wonder Woman title. ...

Her appearance is notable for being the first and, until her Diniverse 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 also had wavy hair more in line with George Pérez’s Post-Crisis interpretation of her.

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 female characters. 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.^[1] 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.

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. Also like the Pérez version, she neither keeps a secret identity nor has an invisible plane (although in the 2nd season of Justice League Unlimited we see her unveil the plane). 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 all her powers including this power.

Justice League Unlimited (or JLU) was the name of an American animated television series that was produced by and aired on Cartoon Network. ...

Her initial personality consisted of a strict adherence to Amazonian dogma (prompting some of her teammates 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 relationship, which was something of a controversy among fans) and also 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). In the episode "Kid's Stuff", Wonder Woman, in her eight-year old form, also flirts liberally with the young Batman.

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. List of Justice League episodes Hereafter is composed of the forty-third and forty-fourth episodes of the Justice League animated series. ...

Hippolyta activates the costume's full power in The Balance

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, Lord 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. It was also revealed that the Wonder Woman armor was originally made by the god Hephaestus for her mother, Queen Hippolyta, not Diana. However, in episodes such as the balance, it was insinuated and implied that the armour 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 also 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 the Second World War in order to stop Vandal Savage. In this story, Steve is an agent of the OSS, whom Diana falls in love with. They are separated when Diana returns to the present day.

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 also has a weakness to pierce wounds as shown by Devil Ray's poisonous dart harming her.

Film

In 2005, Warner Bros. announced that a Wonder Woman film written and directed by Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator, Joss Whedon was under development [2] and would place Diana in a contemporary setting. However, Joss Whedon was dropped from the project in February of 2007. One possible direction for the film places Wonder Woman in the middle of World War II. [3] Warner Bros. ...

Television

Unaired pilot (1967)

With the success of the 1960’s Batman television show came a flurry of copycat series. Greenway Productions, the company behind the Batman show, produced a four-and-a-half-minute Wonder Woman test reel starring Ellie Wood Walker as Diana Prince, Linda Harrison as Diana's Wonder Woman alter ego, and Maudie Prickett as her mother. As with Batman, the pilot took a comic slant on the character. It also dramatically re-envisioned Wonder Woman transforming her from an Amazonian princess to a city girl who occasionally uses her fantasy alter ego to escape reality.

Wonder Woman Pilot Movie (1974)

Cathy Lee Crosby in the first Wonder Woman film.

The first serious attempt at adapting Wonder Woman to live-action TV starred Cathy Lee Crosby as a blonde Amazon with superhuman agility (ala, Captain America) and gadgets, similar to those used by movie super-spy James Bond and secret agent Emma Peel of TV's The Avengers, both at the heights of their popularity, when this pilot aired.

Flemings image of James Bond; commissioned to aid the Daily Express comic strip artists. ... Image:AvengersBook1. ... The Avengers is a British 1960s television series featuring secret agents in a fantasy 1960s Britain. ...

Though this version owed much to a brief period in the Wonder Woman comic book, in which the Amazon heroine had lost her powers, it did not stray completely from its comic inspiration. This Princess Diana could communicate with animals; run, leap, and swim faster than normal humans; and was agile enough to deflect bullets from her Amazon bracelets, which, by some unrevealed means, she could trigger to explode. In lieu of the magical, golden lasso in the comics, she kept a golden cable concealed in her belt, which was used as a grappling rope and to ensnare fleeing enemies. While the Wonder Woman comic being published at the time of the pilot's screening featured the heroine with her traditional powers intact, no explanation for the differences between the film and the comic were ever given.

Though not successful at the first attempt, network interest was such that within a year another pilot was in production, leading to the familiar Lynda Carter version of the character.

In a nod to its significance, this version of Wonder Woman made a cameo appearance in Infinite Crisis alongside the Debra Winger Wonder Girl as inhabitants of Earth-462. Infinite Crisis was a seven-issue limited series of comic books published by DC Comics, beginning in October of 2005. ...

Wonder Woman (1975-1979)

Lynda Carter in costume as Wonder Woman.

Scripting duties were given to Stanley Ralph Ross, who had worked on the original pilot reel in 1967, but was instructed to be more faithful to the comic book. "The New, Original Wonder Woman" made in 1975, starred Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince with Jeannie Epper as stuntwoman. Lyle Waggoner played Steve Trevor. This version was so successful that a TV series soon followed featuring 'campy' overtones. The 1975 pilot film was re-edited with subtle "high comedy" and the series retitled "Wonder Woman".

Smallville

The producers of the television show 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. ^[3]

The series has, however, made a nod to Wonder Woman. A newspaper headline references a visit to the pope by the Themyscarian Queen.

The book is about a gay comic book writer who reinvents "Princess Paragon", a Wonder Woman analog, for a re-launch similar to the one Wonder Woman underwent following Crisis on Infinite Earths. As part of the reimagination, Princess Paragon is reconceived as a lesbian, revitalizing the character but infuriating one especially devoted fan.
