Joss Whedon explains his vision for Wonder Woman


In 2003, Joss wrote his version of WW. We may never know how it would have played out, but one can dream.

Anywho, Joss recently explained his vision on who Diana is:
He told Rookie that his Diana was "a little bit like Angelina Jolie" (which he's been saying for a while). "She sort of traveled the world. She was very powerful and very naïve about people, and the fact that she was a goddess was how I eventually found my in to her humanity and vulnerability," he says. "She would look at us and the way we kill each other and the way we let people starve and the way the world is run and she'd just be like, None of this makes sense to me. I can’t cope with it, I can’t understand, people are insane.

"Ultimately her romance with Steve was about him getting her to see what it’s like not to be a goddess, what it’s like when you are weak, when you do have all these forces controlling you and there’s nothing you can do about it. That was the sort of central concept of the thing. Him teaching her humanity and her saying, okay, great, but we can still do better." 
I still think he should get another shot.
