I know she can be goofy at times but she can also be quite serious. She's got a flair for physical acting and with a little direction, what do you think?
Would Alison Brie Make A Good TV Wonder Woman?

Alison Brie would be a fantastic Wonder Woman or Wonder Girl, she has the perfect body and acting skills to be a superheroine TV show star!

I vote for Alison Brie as any kind of lithe sexy superheroine, after seeing this. When she takes off her coat and wears the spandex as
Russian heel Zoya the Destroyer..watch out!
[Spoiler alert: this is the penultimate climactic scene in the final episode of GLOW Season 1]
But you're right, MH, I think Brie has too much comedic timing to bury herself in a totally serious role like playing Manhunter (sorry ywf).
She would do well in a "Powerless" type superhero comedy where she plays the heroine, though.
What if there was a courtroom dramedy, maybe a little bit like Boston Public, where Alison played Jen Walters (and a different actress played the She-Hulk after transformation). It could have a bit of that whimsical, sexy, fun-loving aspect that the She-Hulk comic book runs had under Dan Slott (before Slott became the fat SJW fuck that he is now). She could defend various misunderstood supervillains, battle Titania, have sex with Stargod, all that good stuff. Maybe even have a flashback origin episode with appearances by Zapper and Trask and cousin Bruce.....
What other superheroine characters could be the star of a drama-comedy, other than She-Hulk..any suggestions?

Alison's great, but I doubt she would be cast for one particular reason. She would be deemed "too old", even though she's only in her mid thirties. Not too old right now, but too old for the sort of long-running series that WB would want to make.
Let's say a WW is show is announced tomorrow with Alison as the lead. Production begins in the new year, by which time Alison is 35. Now, the production company will want her locked into a seven-year contract. (So she can't suddenly up her price to $25 squillion if the show is a big hit.) A successful seven-year run would end with her aged 42. Or a Smallville-length ten-year run would take her up to 45.
I'm sure Alison will still look fantastic in her forties. However, she will be visibly older than she is now. Which is another reason why WB may be reluctant to cast her in a long-term "ageless" role. I expect Gal Gadot will be ruthlessly shitcanned at the first sign of "crow's feet" too.
Don't get me wrong, I totally agree that Alison would be fantastic. It's just I don't see ageist Hollywood casting her in that sort of role for the long-term. Maybe it could happen in TV movies, mini-series or some other "event" show, though.

One of Hollywood's finest ladies has to be good enough to play the role, another fabulous candidate could be the gorgeous actress, singer and songwriter Elizabeth Gillies being the perfect age of 24. Standing 5'7'' / 170 cm tall, a bit under Lynda Carter's height of 178 cms but definitely tall enough to be an awesome Wonder Woman or Wonder Girl starring on a superheroine TV show, with the body measurements: 36-27-34.

In this gif it would be fantastic if Elizabeth was wearing Lynda Carter's sexy " CBS - Wonder Woman costume " and deflecting bullets with her bracelets!
