Weekly Wonder Woman
Weekly Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman #42, Trinity #19
Every week, Weekly Wonder Woman keeps you up to date on everything involving DC Comics’ premier superheroine
Movie news
Justice League is out on DVD/Blu-Ray/4K this week. I’ve reviewed that elsewhere, and since there are only a few extras and nothing much by way of extra footage with the release, I won’t bother saying much more than that.
The other bit of news is that Kristen Wiig has now been confirmed as playing Cheetah in Wonder Woman 2. But we talked about that a bit last week, so I won’t bother saying much more than that.
TV news
The best known of the TV Wonder Women – go on readers, name all the others… now! – Lynda Carter is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on April 3rd. That’ll be at 6562 Hollywood Blvd, if you plan on going down there to watch or even just see the star once it’s in place. Guest speakers are Patty Jenkins (you know who she is) and Les Moonves. Moonves (you probably don’t know who he is) is the current head of CBS, which was the network that picked up the show in the 70s after ABC cancelled it – maybe he can say something about the sexual harassment that was going on on-set at the time…
Comic reviews
Only a couple of appearances by our Diana this week. In Wonder Woman #42, Diana faces Grail again and her brother shows up with some nice new duds. Meanwhile, in Trinity #19, the Trinity have a great big battle and return to the outside world, ready for a new quest.
Yawn. Why am I yawning? Oh yes – James Robinson wrote them both.

What have you been watching? Including Timeless and Champions
It’s “What have you been watching?”, your chance to recommend anything you’ve been watching this week
Spring is here, the flowers are blooming and daylight savings time has arrived in the US. That can only mean one thing. New TV programmes.
Reviews-wise, Boxset Monday has given us the entire second season of Marvel’s Jessica Jones (Netflix), while Deception (US: ABC) and Life Sentence (US: The CW) have been considered elsewhere. But there’s more.
Crackle dumped the entire first season of The Oath onto the Internet on Friday, but given I had 13 episodes of Jessica Jones to get through, I prioritised and The Oath lost. I’m not sure I’ll be able to watch all of it before the next WHYBW (unless it’s good), but I’ll certainly be reviewing the first episode. Also having aired in the past few days in the US is For The People, which I’ll be looking at, too. And in Australia, Ioan Gruffudd’s back as a forensics bod again in Harrow on Friday, so I’ll probably have something to say about that, too.
But then there’s Rise. That’s a musical and as I’m tough on musicals, tough on the causes of musicals, I’ll probably be skipping that. Meanwhile, in Australia, SBS’s asylum-seeker drama Safe Harbour has just started. However, at just four episodes, that might not really be worth my time. You never know, though.
If anything else pops up in the next few days, I’ll do my best to cover it, as well. But after the jump, the regulars: Black Lightning, Counterpart, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, The Good Fight, The Looming Tower, The Magicians, SEAL Team and Will & Grace. I’ll also be taking a look at the final two episodes this season of Corporate, but also making a surprising return this week is Timeless. First it was cancelled, then it wasn’t – was time travel involved? No, it wasn’t. But it’s back.
And I’ve actually watched one other new show, which I didn’t have time to review separately: Champions. That’s after the jump as well.
