But hey, this was written by Paul Dini, and when it comes to super heroes, you won't find a better writer.
In animation, DC does it so well. That one clip was really good. I have to watch the entire movie now. We'll just have to wait for more details of the live action film

A Wonder Woman film. I do think it would be tricky to adapt, I would see it regardless

I dunno. The key to a good Wonder Woman is an actress who is: a.) Beautiful, b.) Physically formidable, and c.) Can actually act.

I didn't see anyone on the list that made me go, "That's her!"

But I'm not convinced a live action WW movie will ever work. The costume alone just breaks ever sense of goofy I have. DC makes the best animated features on TV and DVD. I don't know why they don't just bite the bullet and make an animated theatrical release.

Haha...You said it.

On a semi-related note, I guess Vin Diesel's looks are finally paying off for him...he got the part of a Machine gun trotting raccoon lol

I'm skeptical as well. The costume needs a change. Imagine the backlash (and sexual excitement) if the costume remains skimpy. A resemblance to greek armor might work. Picture in link

Then you have to adapt her complicated narrative: background, civilization, outside world, cinematic tie-ins,
perspective (staunch feminism, etc)... adding sex appeal would undermine her character. They did an animated theatrical release with Batman:Mask of the Phantasm (1993), which failed at the box office - grossing $5.6m - however it did receive a very positive critical response. lol. DC wants Avenger money. They want blockbusters. Make it Live Action, might end up like Supergirl and Catwoman or Elektra and My Super Ex-Girlfriend. (Could do better, it's Wonder Woman) Make it animated, might end up like Batman:Mask of the Phantasm and get positive reviews. Either way, they want a Justice League, they need a Wonder Woman.
