Been working on a new blog post about the assumption that because I am a Wonder Woman fan that I am also fan of some other DC heroes, however its not coming together as I'd like just yet so I thought I'd do a "filler" post. Of course - what is better filler than watching the one and only Lynda Carter in her very first spin.
While doing a search on Youtube for Wonder Girl I discovered this video from a Korean group called the Wonder Girls. The song is titled "Tell Me" and it is a cute K-Pop song but I was even more surprised to discovered that they totally pay homage to Wonder Woman. The video contains several snippets of situations where a hero is needed and without a second glance one of the characters does the spin and arrives on the scene as Wonder Woman. They even use some of the star theme backgrounds so familiar with the Lynda Carter TV show.
During one of the scenes they are totally mixing Wonder Woman with the 60's Batman TV show. :-)
This is a fantastic clip of Diana's first appearance on Brave and the Bold and I think what makes it so good is the campy use of the theme song from the Lynda Carter TV series. I generally prefer Diana's tiara not to be seen on the outside of her hair, however I think it works quite well here as the art has an almost 40's era style to it. Also using Paula von Gunther as the villain only adds to that feeling. Thankfully this isn't Diana's only appearance on this show, she appears a few episodes later (and is it in for the entire episode) in which she, Batman and Superman end up fighting each other's nemesis - Superman vs Cheetah, Batman vs Luther, and Wonder Woman vs Joker - and Paradise Island even makes an appearance.
