We wrote about that show here: ( Analysis: The 6 Things the Bionic Woman (2007) TV Show Got Wrong). Wire nonsense was the same element that hampered the Bionic Woman reboot, a far better action TV show than Wonder Woman could ever hope to be, even with all of its stylized fights and training sequences. Seeing Woman Woman gilding through the air – obviously on wires – was unnecessary and a reminder of nameless, useless, wire-fu action films the mind struggles to completely forget. Wire-fu is dead just like action movies with no plots from the 90’s (along with the mainstream careers of many action stars). The Nine Lives of Chloe King has it, more or less.

Blade: The Series had edge and grit, as did Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, and Xena: Warrior Princess.
In The Cape‘s case, it had some edge but it also had too much gloss and not enough grit. This was because they either lacked a sustainable hardcore edge or they never had one in the first place. The Cape was not a good superhero television series, much like M.A.N.T.I.S., The Crow: Stairway to Heaven, and the Robocop television series. In Wonder Woman, the heroine walks away in clear view of everyone. In the Christopher Nolan Batman films, Batman appears and disappears so he can not be tracked. Woman Woman ( Adrianne Palicki) does whatever she wants in public to whomever she wants. The main character has no secret identity. The premise of Wonder Woman (2011) makes no sense. Wonder Woman (2011): Season 1, Episode 1: Pilot shows the viewer just how good NBC’s The Cape was when compared to this show. Wonder Woman (2011): Season 1, Episode 1: Pilot TV Review.
