The CW is still looking to enter the Wonder Woman business — and they’ve recruited a Heroes writer to try and make it work.
THR’s Live Feed is reporting that Aron Eli Coleite is the latest writer to try to produce a script about the character, replacing Allan Heinberg, who wrote the previous version late last year. At the time pilots were picked up and the Wonder Woman project Amazon was not on that list, it was reported that the project had been shelved because Diana had not yet been found. The writer replacement suggests there was more to that.
“We do not want to produce something that doesn’t work for that particular character — it is the trickiest of all the DC characters to get done,” Pedowitz said.
If things go well, a new Amazon/Wonder Woman pilot could be developed and made outside of the usual pilot season. Pedowitz has also stressed that other DC properties are also being considered — a given, considering the success of Arrow.
Stay tuned for more details as they become available.

Finally more news about Wonder Woman. Hopefully this one will stick for good!
olivia munn or megan fox, would a movie make more sense first? batman was reintroduced in 1989 with a movie, so was superman in 1978, so why not start her off again with a film?
Imho, the biggest thing holding back a Wonder Woman interpretation is her outfit.
On CW’s budget, I really think they should go with a more modern approach. Similar to below but, add a leather jacket. The whip will need to be CGI’ed as well. I

As far as the silver screen, I would make her outfit more warrior-like. Nearly, like a Valkyrie in style but with more Greek influences. Battle armor on her shins, knees, chest and shoulders. Possibly, even a helmet.

Bridget Regan ( Kahlan Amnell from Legend of the Seeker) would kick ass in this role. She’s got just the right height (5ft9) hypnotizing blue eyes, long hair, sexy curves, attractive face with a lot of personality. Proved good at physical/battle oriented roles, and is a capable actress able to convey a wide aray of complex emotions.
Here’s how she could look like in the role, in a amazonian-like version of the costume:

There’s a video dedicaced to supporting this casting choice just there:

She is currently making appearance in the Beauty and the Beast show, but she’s not one of the main protagonist, so she’s more or less free for a good project.
Meanwhile she is going to appear in a few episodes of White Collar and maybe one or two in Sons of Anarchy.
I don’t think she as an official site but this fan site as the means to join her:
