Wonder Woman pilot summary that sounds less dire than I was expecting. But I'm still not excited. At least she's an Amazon, but no flight? What's with that?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You know, I clearly don't know much about Wonder Woman, because I'm pretty sure I didn't know she could fly. I thought that was the point of the invisible jet.
However, I'm somewhat intrigued by the casting of Adrianne Palicki, whom I like a lot, although I've never seen her as an action type. That'll be interesting.

It hadn't occurred to me people didn't know she could fly. Doesn't she fly in the cartoons? The first page of google image searches has only three shots of her in flight. Superman gets more.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
She does fly in JL/JLU, which surprised me as well because, like 'Suela, I thought that's why she had the invisible jet.

Since always. Her PR needs work, and Lynda needs a timeout.

I stopped reading the pilot around page 34. I couldn't take anymore.

I'm not sure about always, but Diana's been able to fly at least since the George Perez post-Crisis reboot in the mid 80s. And John Byrne didn't take that ability away despite giving her a new version of the Invisible Jet, so I assume personal flight dates back at least to his comic fan days.

She had super-jumpy powers at her very start, and has been flying since 1966. So, since most of us were consuming her.
