In response to what has understandably become this year’s hot-button issue, NBC president Robert Greenblatt has announced that former “Friday Night Lights” hottie Adrianne Palicki will, indeed, wear star-spangled booty shorts in their David Kelly-produced reboot of yesteryear’s “Wonder Woman” series.

Greenblatt explains to TVLine:

There was an initial outcry about the long pants – you know, skintight pants as opposed to those little shorts. But the shorts were always planned. 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.

Greenblatt, you beautiful genius! It all makes sense now. Wonder Woman will wear the shorts while having a sexy cat-fight with Veronica Cale—played by British stunner Elizabeth Hurley—someplace where there’s lots of mud or jello or pillows. It seems so obvious now. Well played.

You also got to hand it to writer/producer Kelly for keeping things real on the page. Wonder Woman is a female superhero. Unlike her male counterparts who don’t think twice about wearing the same spandex tights every night, Wonder Woman is going to have to have some fashion choices.

After all, there will be nights when she’s feeling bloated and unattractive. On those days, she’ll wear the pants. When she’s lost a few pounds or wants to make other heroines jealous, she’ll sport the shorts. If someone has to die on the streets at the hands of some hooligan while she picks out her outfit, so be it.
