-The Green Lantern: A pilot who gets chosen to be an intergalactic policeman. BORING.
-The Martian Manhunter: A Martian with more power than Superman who's race got slaughtered. BORING.
-Wonder Woman: An Amazonian with unbelievable bodily dimension. Good fap material but.. BORING.
-Aquaman: The dude talks to fish. BORING.
-The Flash: He's really fast and cocky. BORING.
Obviously they all have SOMETHING to write about when they're not in tights, but who cares? I have a hard time feeling for those guys. But I can feel for Peter Parker's issues with being broke and not being able to be with Mary Jane. I can feel for Tony Stark being an alcoholic. I can feel for Bruce having to deal with the green monster every damn time he gets angry. Ok, I'm done with my rant now.

I agree with this assessment. Which is why, from what I remember of the Wonder Woman TV series, given the time it was made (1975-1979), they did a decent job with it. She was worried about revealing her identity and the location of her island, she was worried about falling in love with the character of Lyle Waggoner... it was about as much character-development you could expect from a late 70's TV show whose main purpose was "show some tits". It would be interesting to see a modern director like Snyder or Nolan get their hands on Wonder Woman (no pun intended) and try to do something with the character.
