Joss Whedon to Write/Direct Wonder Woman
bigbear writes "'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and 'Firefly' creator Joss Whedon has signed on to write and direct the big screen adaptation of the DC Comics character Wonder Woman. The film is being produced by Joel Sliver ('The Matrix'). No word yet on who will play the "iconic female heroine of our time.""
Well she's certainly someone who is every bit as attractive as a mature woman as back when she was a "girl", bit like Teri Hatcher or Alyssa Milano that way.
"Peter, those are Cherios."
Anyway, the truly perfect choice is my future wife, Jessica Alba.
And goddamnit, this brings up deep seated issues for me. I wrote a letter to Lynda Carter professing my love for her when I was 9. Bitch didn't write me back or so much as send an autographed picture.
Wishing I was a millionaire since 1969.
just to be a nerd for a min but i like her armored look in Kingdom Come the best.
No sig for you!!
That was Linda Carter, and she was such a sweet little goody-two-shoes I'm still amazed she didn't end up with diabetes. (Not her fault, but the scripts and direction. The only thing about her that wasn't wasted in the role was her good looks.)
Good, inexpensive web hosting
As much as I love portman, she cant be wonder woman... shes too short... You need someone taller, more the amazon look, while keeping the beauty and grace. Examples: Jennifer Garner, Eliza dusku, cathrine zeta jones, etc
Insert something witty here...
Supposedly both Sarah Michelle Gellar and Charisma Carpenter are being pushed, one by Joss and one by the studio. Personally, I think Charisma can pull it off better, if only because she has the height. I don't picture Wonder Woman as 5-foot-and-change.

Noooo, she is too short and wimpy looking. I don't know if she can act, but Lucy Lawless (Xena) might be a good choice; at least she looks the part. Then again if the outfit is skimpy enough maybe the acting part is optional.

Lynda Carter is a bitch. I knew a guy that used to deliver pizza to her neighborhood. She handed out autographed pictures as TIPS. how full of yourself do you have to be...
Whedon's enough of a fanboy he's *got* to try and get Carter to do a cameo as the Amazon queen/WW's mother.
oh...my...god....

Goatse and tubgirl now have some serious competition for Slashdot-induced psychological trauma...

Being on an island for thousands of years would tend to make her be speaking a new language. (I remember at one point the queen called Steve Trevor a 'her' and then corrected herself. I was thinking 'Why do they even have a word for 'him'?)
I think it's a bit silly to assume a greek accent now matches a greek accent two and a half millennium ago, much less that an island cut off for that long would match the accent back then. Grand total, that's 5000 years of change!
But obviously they have contact with the outside world, at least in the TV canon. For example, they have a game with deflecting bullets and they're using an old revolver for that. If they truly had been cut off from the outside world, they wouldn't even know what a bullet was, and certainly wouldn't possess a gun that looked like it was from the 1860s.
Also, WW's costume is delibrately made of the US flag colors. Although I guess they could have gotten that information from Steve.
(I'm ignoring the invisible plane, because I'm assuming that's magical.)

For anyone else who didn't know (like me): clicky.
Karma: Excellent, but still won't get you laid.
