They want to milk a virgin demographic.

Vibe don't bring all the Latins to the Yard.

So long ago and so utterly wasted. They could totally take another run at it with the not-boring space cop/double agent version.
 
Earlier I was thinking, if the show ever visits Themyscira, they need to cast Debra Winger as Hippolyta. We've already gotten actors who played the earlier versions of the title characters in The Flash and Supergirl, so it makes sense to keep the tradition alive in Wonder Girl.
 
Hmm, too bad. This version of Wonder Girl is new and unfamiliar, so I had no attachment to her, but it would've been nice to have something Wonder Woman-adjacent show up in the Arrowverse (aside from the Themyscira cameo in Legends that one time).
 
Yeah, I was looking forward to this for the same reason. I think Wonder Woman is one of the last major DC characters not to have some kind of live action or animated series on the air.

Well, Wonder Girl/Donna Troy was a regular on Titans last season, and I think I read that she'll be back next season. So there's that, at least.

As for animation, Wonder Woman has been part of the ensemble casts of the recent Justice League Action and the ongoing DC Super Hero Girls, and is an occasional supporting player in Young Justice and Harley Quinn. But nothing where she's the central character.
 
I thought I mentioned Donna Troy in that post, but I guess not.
But I was more talking about a show solely devoted to that character's mythology.
 
That's too bad. The character looks like an interesting take on the mythology, even though she would be at least the third Wonder Girl in the DCU.
 
I don't think that is the case. The Arrowverse may be reaching its natural end, or it might not. But television productions definitely have a profitable future.

The Youtube I mentioned, which was just an angry nerd hating, quoted DC "we're only interested in making the highest quality productions" which is a roundabout way of saying that the Arrowverse is pulp.

So it's not about getting out of TV, its about making better TV.
 
Sad to hear it wasn't picked up, would have been interesting.

There's plenty of "Heroes" that they can use in new series, there's a litteral Cornicopia of comics to choose from.
Still waiting for a "The Question" Tv series.. would be SWEET!

Sage or Montoya? Or both?

Rather them start with Sage, maybe use Jeffery Combs as an aged version, with Montoya as a replacement that he trains, ala Batman Beyond?
Using Montoya would still give you a female Hispanic hero, though I don't know how the characters "Conspiracy theory's" would play in the current mood.
I just want a good mystery/detective series.

There was a thingy in 2017 that CW wasn't allowed to use him because the Film side said they were going to do something with him.. Still waiting on that!

I sometimes wish they'd done The Flash that way, with Grant Gustin playing Wally West and John Wesley Shipp reprising 1990 Barry Allen as his mentor.
 
Have we gotten any comic based superhero shows with a Hispanic character in the title role?

There have been cases where lead characters who were not Hispanic in the comics have been played by Latina actresses on TV -- Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman, Natalie Morales as Wendy in The Middleman, Diane Guerrero as Crazy Jane in Doom Patrol. In the latter two cases, the character's ethnicity was altered to fit the actress. (And a case can be made that they're all title characters. Wendy was an apprentice Middleman, and Jane is a member of the Doom Patrol, though technically they're not called that in the show.)

There was going to be a Marvel Ghost Rider spinoff with Robbie Reyes, but it was abandoned.
