Wonder Woman With a Movie All to Herself

By Jake Spencer


A new Wonder Woman movie has long been planned, but numerous delays and rewrites have halted efforts at releasing a big screen adaptation for the popular comic book character.Noted writer and director Joss Whedon was once linked with the project, but he dropped out due to creative differences.A Wonder Woman television show in the mold of the Lynda Carter version was also in the works, but the series was cancelled after the pilot episode was rejected.

Female superheroes today draw inspiration from the Wonder Woman character.Wonder Woman yearned to escape from the island of Themyscira where she hails in order to explore the world.Wonder Woman possesses the Lasso of Truth, a powerful item that reveals the true nature of the people caught in its hold.Most Wonder Woman tees will show the Amazon Princess wielding this powerful weapon.

The public profile of Wonder Woman was helped by the Wonder Woman television series starring Lynda Carter.In the show, Wonder Woman poses as Diana Prince, an assistant to government secret agent Steve Trevor, with whom she develops a strong relationship.Wonder Woman tees featuring Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman are still worn by most people today.

Wonder Woman is a member of the DC comics super team The Justice League.The character has appeared in various cartoon series, such as Justice League, and the Super Friends show.Wonder Woman is generally considered to be one of the strongest superheroes ever created.

Some storylines on the show explore a possible romance between Wonder Woman and Batman, a trend that was also adopted by comic book writers for the Justice League comic book.Wonder Woman t-shirts often feature the Michael Turner version, as seen in the Justice League comic book.Wonder Woman will always be a particular favorite superhero of mine, and indeed a favorite of many other comic book fans.With the slightly limited number of female superheroes out there it's a good job Wonder Woman is still going strong. Her presence on the big screen should only enhance her following and ensure that she is popular for a long time to come.
