"She must be flawed..."
"Make her sexuality a mystery....."
"Invent something".....
1. Wonder Woman MUST be Latina. Don’t even try to dress up a white woman as Wonder Woman. You’ll loose half the audience with the wrong casting. We actually LIKE the fact that Linda Carter was of Mexican decent and that it was very noticeable. Make the entire cast diverse, it’s a brand new world since 1941 where she first debuted, and the TV series must mirror that.
2. She can’t be uber young. Making her appealing to the over 30 crowd will be the ticket bridging the generations; MILF-like if you will.
3. She must be flawed. Not the, can’t keep a man ’cause she’s so strong issues either. How about Bruce Wayne issues or Tony Stark issues. That would be nice. A really, really rich MILF with issues of revenge who mask them in a playgirl lifestyle…see sounding sexy already!
4. Make her sexuality a mystery. Is she a lesbian? Straight? Bi-sexual? Let her date a man, but sort of flirt with a woman. Not knowing and keeping the audience guessing would be fun. Let there be tension. That always works and would keep folks coming back.
5. Finally, Wonder Woman must be tech savvy. There are girl geeks out there that desperately need her to invent something cool. Her invisible car has to have comic fans comparing hers to Batman’s.Her bracelets must be quite fashionable, yet functional with some serious surprises to pop up when she’s Jack Bauer(ing) those terrorist!
I personally need her to be kick ass. I watched her growing up, pretended to be her, dreamed I was her secret sister back on her home planet, except my boots were black and my bracelets had black diamonds. (#Don’t judge me) I need to be able to enjoy this series with both my mother AND my daughter, and I need little minority girls to see themselves in the new Wonder Woman the same way I did in Linda Carter.

"One of these things is not like the other...."
Considering that the WW was modeled after the Greek mythology of Amazons, she would not be latina.
I didn't know, or care, what Lynda Carter was when I was 8, just that she was Wonder Woman.
You forgot your major sarc tag.
Never mind. I just went back and looked at the original piece.
I had never known she was of Mexican descent until I read your list. It must have been so noticeable that I never noticed.
Her home planet was Earth. Where you from?
This time around she must compete with the hoarde already polluting television with their super powers. Every cop show already has one or two of the attitudinal psudo super bitches.
We're from Paradise Island, Earth. ;)
