DC Entertainment says NO MORE female superhero films for now


No so good news for Wonder Woman fans. Because of the slow sales of the Wonder Woman cartoon movie DVD, there are no plans for anymore Super Women for now.
Are there plans to do any more sequels for the recently released DC animated films?

"We had originally planned to do sequels for Wonder Woman and Green Lantern, but Wonder Woman’s sales started out extremely slow and then over time were eventually able to catch up to probably Justice League Frontier. The Exec’s decided because it wasn’t able to sell quickly right away, where as Justice League was, that there wouldn’t be any more female super hero films right now. We were developing and hoping to get started on a batgirl film based on Year One, but because of Wonder Woman’s slow sales start, that won’t be happening now.

"With Green Lantern, it didn’t perform nearly as well as what they had hoped it would. In the long run it eventually made its money back, but the sales weren’t there right away during its release. Hopefully with the release of the Live Action film next year, that will open up the doors for more Green Lantern relate material."
I hope this doesn't hurt Diana's chances for a live action movie. I'll keep hope alive.

Aaahhh...that's too bad. The Wonder Woman movie gave me hope. Can you guys think of any female hero that could cross male and female boundaries to be uber popular?
