In September, DC Comics rebooted all of its main story lines, wiping the slate clean for the best-known superhero titles. Each starts over at issue #1. Fans were puzzled as Wonder Woman came back as a horror comic. It’s been a tough year for the Amazonian princess. NBC’s much-anticipated pilot, written by David E. Kelley and starring Adrianne Palicki, was not picked up for broadcast. Warner Brothers has officially given up trying to make a Wonder Woman movie. With women now at 50% or more of the workforce, why is the only female superhero with any clout in semiretirement? Independent Producer Eric Molinsky looks at the skeletons in Wonder Women’s closet.
