The development of David E. Kelley's "Wonder Woman" as a television series has been fraught with problems.

In the beginning, NBC passed on the project due to a steep license fee from Warner Brothers, only to renege on the decision following a changing of the guard at the network. Since then, news that has leaked on the pilot production hasn't been entirely supportive.

Amongst the elements under fire is the costume choice for Adrienne Palicki, who will be playing the Amazonian Princess in the series. The outfit was based on the #600 costume that was introduced in the comics last year ... a design that received considerable criticism on its own.

But no press is bad press apparently, and the backlash faced by the #600 design helped sell the comics. Likewise, the discussion over the creative decisions being made on the television series is only helping to circulate news of the show itself. However, it appears than NBC is listening to fans and more costume changes are being made.

What changes exactly? Shorts, further aligning the character to her classic look in the DC comic series and to Lynda Carter's appearance in the classic show. The costume has already undergone some tweaks, like trading Palicki's blue boots for red ones, and switching the material used in the long pants, but the shorts could be among the most dramatic changes to the series yet.

"There was an initial outcry about the long pants – you know, skintight pants as opposed to those little shorts [worn by Lynda Carter in the original TV series], but the shorts were always planned," NBC President Robert Greenblatt said. "They are actually used in the final confrontation when she beats Veronica Cale. We haven't made any changes from what was planned. But it's always good to hear the feedback. I'd rather have people really passionately engaged in conversation, even if they hate something, than be kind of bored."

Also under fire is the general plot of the pilot and news that Diana Prince will struggle with three identities on the show. Greenblatt insists though that the show is in safe hands with Kelley and further changes are unlikely to be made to appease those vocal about their dislikes of the series.

"There's always critiques of everything," he said. "If we listen to all of that, we would probably never be able to get the job done. David's a great writer… and I actually think he'll bring an intelligence to [the show] that other … writers might not. I think it's going to be interesting to see it cut together. I've been doing this long enough to know that nothing is a safe bet. Even with the best of intentions and the best people, you just don't know until you see it finished – and we're a few weeks away from that. But it's been getting a lot of attention. A lot."
