I noticed the TV Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl, too — although I could have sworn Cathy Lee Crosby’s uniform was red instead of blue… so I never would have picked her out except for the Debra Winger Wonder Girl in the background. (Frumpiest. Wonder Girl costume. Ever.) If those little scenes of the new history for the newly smashed-together Earth are to be believed, then they also reinstated Wonder Woman as a founding member of the JLA. That’d be fine by me — not that I give a rat’s ass either way, mind you. But the idea that they might give us a Clark Kent Superboy again after all this time galls me a little, considering his editorially-mandated removal from continuity is what started the reboot avalanche that repeatedly screwed over the Legion of Super-Heroes. All that mess and then twenty years later it’s like, “Oh, forget we ever said anything!” Gah! *fumes for a minute, then shrugs* Oh, well. That’s comics for ya!

I think that they should get Cathy Lee Crosby and Reb Brown to do a Wonder Woman/Captain America television event! I’d watch that.

Your interpretation seems just as valid: it will be interesting to see which way it goes. But you are absolutely right: every 7-10 years, they’ll kick off another of these events (as the past has shown us). I do get tired of the same formula, though: kill off minor characters, replace them with new version that no one likes, return to the status quo, rinse and repeat.

I don’t know how to react to the idea that other people besides me actually recognized the Cathy Lee Crosby Wonder Woman.

Also, I interpreted that “New Earth” creation scene in exactly the opposite way to your reading: my assumption was that these were bits of the past being shed, breaking away, rather than being incorporated into the new thing. Mind you, even that small observation makes it sound like I’m more impressed than I actually am: I’m already on record as predicting that a few years from now we’ll see another company-wide crossover billed with the subtitle “The One Where We Fix Everything and Make Comics Good Again But This Time We’ll Do It Right, And This Time We Really Mean It.”

I won’t buy that one either, but I’ll enjoy reading other people’s comments about it on blogs.
