John Barrowman can act, sing, dance and fight crime. That having been said, this recently unearthed medley he performed while on tour last year featuring Spider-Man and Wonder Woman has a little bit of everything.

When DC Comics relaunched their entire line of comics last month, they decided to make some big changes with regard to the origins of Wonder Woman. Instead of being merely a hunk of clay with the powers of a goddess, next month’s Wonder Woman No.3 comic will reveal that she is actually the daughter of Zeus:
“In this case, making her a god actually makes her more human, more relatable,” DC co-publisher Jim Lee said.
The Maury Povich-style paternity revelation is one of several that DC plans to work into the stories of their retooled characters, and it seems that all the details will be disclosed at New York Comic Con, which kicks off at the Javits Center on Thursday.
Hopefully they will address the most pressing question: whether Wonder Woman will now be fighting evil with Kevin Sorbo by her side.

Footage from the failed Wonder Woman pilot has been leaking out here and there, but these latest clips should help give fans some insight into why NBC decided to can the project.

Given the nerdy public’s touchiness with regard to the new Wonder Woman costume, and leaked plot details that were widely panned, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that NBC has decided not to pick up the Wonder Woman series.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt explained why they passed:
“I hate to disappoint anybody. I know there are legions of fans of the original show,” Greenblatt told EW. “I don’t know if it’s cursed or what. I just have this one experience. They made a really fine pilot and Adrianne Palicki did a fantastic job. You look at what you have, what you need, and it just didn’t seem to fit in with what we were doing.
“We did what was best for the schedule,” Greenblatt continued. “It does give one pause. You’re almost damned if you and damned if you don’t. It’s tricky.”
Of course, this is a nice way of saying that NBC has enough experience in the crappy superhero genre (hello The Cape!) to know that nerds would eat it alive.

Fashionably Geek readers and the internet in general had a lot to say about the new Wonder Woman costume, and by the looks of this photo it seems that someone at NBC was listening. No more shiny, candy hooker pants and the blue boots have gone to a more appropriate red color. Much better!
Check out an additional image and a video of the costume in action on Fashionably Geek…

As you may already know, Wonder Woman issue #600 caused quite a stir back in June when it revealed the new costume designed by DC Co-Publisher Jim Lee.
Love it or hate it, the first statue featuring the design is now available for pre-order. The real test though is when cosplayers and trick-or-treaters start dressing in the new outfit, and my guess is that the old costume won’t be going away anytime soon.
