"David E Kelley has insisted that a Wonder Woman TV series is still &amp;quot;viable&amp;quot;. The Ally McBeal creator&amp;#039;s own take on the DC comics heroine did not progress past the pilot stage, but The CW is now developing a new adaptation titled Amazon, which will focus on the character&amp;#039;s origins.   &amp;quot;I still believe it&amp;#039;s viable for a television series,&amp;quot; Kelley told The Hollywood Reporter. &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s ripe to do it.&amp;quot; The writer/producer admitted that he had &amp;quot;made mistakes&amp;quot; with his own Wonder Woman pilot, which starred Friday Night Lights actress Adrianne Palicki in the title role. &amp;quot;In time, we could have fixed what we had done wrong, we just didn&amp;#039;t get that chance,&amp;quot; Kelley argued. &amp;quot;We would have gotten there and I wish we were afforded a little more time. &amp;quot;I do believe in the potential of the [new] series and I wish them well with it. I think it could be a great success.&amp;quot; The Avengers director Joss Whedon - who was also attached at one point to write and direct a Wonder Woman movie - previously spoke out against Palicki&amp;#039;s NBC pilot, citing Kelley as a poor choice of showrunner. &amp;quot;The genre was very different for me and I had a lot to learn,&amp;quot; Kelley acknowledged. &amp;quot;If I were going to do [another] superhero franchise, I&amp;#039;d probably call Joss Whedon and beg him to try and do it with me! He&amp;#039;s pretty good at it.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Wonder Woman casting underway for new TV pilot &amp;gt; Adrianne Palicki &amp;#039;would play Wonder Woman again&amp;#039; Photo gallery - best and worst superhero movie costumes:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
