David E. Kelley’s imagined Wonder Woman reboot will be staying in his imagination: EVERY network has passed on his pilot script. Although Deadline calls it a case of “unfortunate timing,” it turns out each network passed for a different reason, “The project was never considered a fit for Fox and was taken to the network mostly out of courtesy.” The CW couldn’t afford the cost of the superhero show, and because of NBC’s “managerial changes,” the network couldn’t dredge up the “licensing fees.” CBS considered it but ultimately said no.
Since Disney owns both Marvel and ABC, it might cause strife within the Disney family if ABC looked to DC instead of closer to home.
