An unrelated failed PilotMovie was broadcast about a year earlier, in 1974, starring Cathy Lee Crosby as a non-powered Wonder Woman in a very loose adaptation (verging on InNameOnly).

** The first pilot for the series was AdaptationDecay instead, using nothing but the name and costume (and the actress playing Diana was blond!)
*** Whether the new series will be decay or distillation is a subject of heated discussion right now.

* ReluctantWarrior: Partly as a result of ExecutiveMeddling. The producers didn't want Wonder Woman to be too violent, thinking that it would alienate viewers, which is why you're more likely to see her tossing a heavy into a pile of cardboard boxes than punching him in the face. Also see HeelFaceTurn above.
