Wonder Woman The Animated Series Concept

Description

To celebrate the historic release of Wonder Woman's first ever theatrical film, I set to work on an art project imagining an animated television series starring the iconic Amazon Princess. Wonder Woman: The Animated Series thus consisted of redesigns and reimaginings of the backstories of Wonder Woman, her allies, and her foes. Over the course of the month of May (and first couple of days of June), I posted character designs complete with full profiles. During the posting process, I also asked you all who you'd like to see portraying these characters and I took all of your comments into account when putting this together.

For this ensemble piece, I included the fancasting along with several exclusive character designs that weren't included in the profile posts. This includes a brand new design for Nubia, along with several Amazons. Menalippe is the Oracle of Themyscira and is Queen Hippolyta's youngest sister, Niobe is the head priestess of Themyscira, Epione is Themyscira's chief healer, Euboea is the Captain of the Themysciran Army, Io is the primary blacksmith on Themyscira (and sometime love interest for Wonder Woman), and Anaya is a Bana-Mighdall Amazon imagined as Artemis' best friend in this series.

Plot-wise, I have three seasons imagined thus far.

Season one focuses on Wonder Woman's journey to Man's World and her initial conflict against the nation of Markovia. Her primary enemies are the agents of S.C.Y.T.H.E., who are the elite militaristic police force that governs Markovia. S.C.Y.T.H.E. is led by Baroness Paula von Gunther and is filled with several superpowered baddies who share the desire to defeat Wonder Woman. This season borrows narrative elements from historical events such as the Russian Revolution, World War II, and the Cold War era conflict between the US and Russia. The first season also features the presence of the rogue Atlantean Queen Clea.

Season two features the rise of Revenant, an international crime syndicate run by the nefarious Doctor Cyber. She employs the aid of her enforcers Angle Man and the Mask to accomplish her goal of global domination and total anarchy. I see this season as taking aspects of the Diana Prince era and paying homage to the James Bond franchise, particularly with his conflict against Blofeld and SPECTRE (and early conflicts with SMERSH).

Season three takes a more fantastical approach as Wonder Woman faces off against her more mythological foes. After cooling his heels for two seasons after his defeat at the hands of Wonder Woman in the series opener, Ares returns to do battle against the Amazon Princess. However, the biggest bad is the sorceress Circe who forms her cabal of villains consisting of the demigod Heracles and the mystically-enhanced Silver Swan. This season would adapt and combine the Circe-centric stories from George Perez and Phil Jimenez's runs on Wonder Woman.

I do want to give a huge, massive thank you to three people who supported this series from its inception and were really responsible for the fancasting of several of the characters here. Specifically, I want to thank DanFalcon, mr-redx, and Andster11. I really appreciate your support, help, and feedback! :)

Depending on how well this piece is received via comments and favourites, I may go ahead and work on a spin-off or two (namely, the Teen Titans and the Justice League). 

Enjoy! :)
