Wonder Woman Crucified for Milk (Photo credit: jooleeah_stahkey)MARVEL’S AVENGERS has brought the next wave of superhero movies upon us. Warner Bros., as reported yesterday, is ramping up efforts to deliver their own super team, the JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA, to the big screen, hiring Will Beall (GANGSTER SQUAD) to do so. However, it was unclear if they are going to follow Marvel’s blueprint and create solo adventures for the more notable members of the JLA.
Unlike Marvel, most of the Justice League members are already well known to audiences (Supes, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Green Lantern especially). But, as DARK KNIGHT RISES comes out in July, and a new SUPERMAN comes out next year, it looks like we can expect another attempt to put WONDER WOMAN in the lime light. Screenwriter Michael Goldenberg (CONTACT, GREEN LANTERN, HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX) is going to be given a shot at it, according to Variety.
Just google Wonder Woman movie and you’ll see dozens of different female actresses doctored into the Wonder Woman costume, showing how many attempts there have been to do this. After the disastrous attempt to bring WONDER WOMAN to TV last year (see picture above), there is no doubt much trepidation regarding this project. That being said, WONDER WOMAN remains one of the most recognized female characters in the world due to the comics and Lynda Carter. Ultimately, with all the crashing and burning that WB has suffered through in trying to bring some of its other characters to theaters, I remain very skeptical that any of this will actually happen.
