Second Chances

As most of you already know, Christopher Nolan has announced that Anne Hathaway is going to be playing Selina Kyle/Catwoman in the upcoming Batman movie. In adition to a new and improved Catwoman, Wonder Woman is being considered as a new television show.

While Selina Kyle has been done in the past, she has not been looked at twice since Halle Berry portrayed her. Unfortunately, not only did they change her name to Patience, they re-worked the entire universe to have amlost no relation to Batman.

While it can be argued Hathaway might be a little too nice to play Catwoman, I'm still excited to see her in action. Nolan has a tendency to bring out the best in actors. Besides, it is about time we get a decent Selina Kyle since Michelle Pfeiffer.
As for Wonder Woman, the pilot has been written, and the McG has been chosen to direct it. All that is left is the actress to portray Wonder Woman.

NBC, who owns Syfy, has done some nice jobs in the past in reworking old shows, such as Battlestar Galactica. True others have not been so brilliant, such as the miniseries Bionic Woman, but there seems to be potential with this version of Wonder Woman.
