Joss Whedon said DC Comics blew him off about Wonder Woman


As many of you know, Joss Whedon wrote a Wonder woman script years ago. Sure there were some pieces that needed work, so he created a new outline, but guess what...

DC Comics blew him off!

In Deadline, Joss talks about this foolishness:
“It’s not easy. It’s not a simple trick. The Marvel properties with the exception of Batman, who has often been described as the Marvel character in the DC universe, are much easier to translate to a modern audience. Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern are so far above us and their powers are amorphous and that makes it 10 times harder.

Even when you’re doing a fight, it’s harder to write a fight for Thor than it is for Captain America because he’s that much stronger. I loved what I was doing on Wonder Woman. Clearly I was an excited party of one. I wrote the movie, I felt good about the characters, the structure needed work, I did another outline, they read it and were done. There wasn’t even a phone call.”
Really?

This is interesting because Joss could've opened the door for not only WW, but for their movie projects. It's no secret that DC Comics movie projects are hot messes (Green Lantern?). Joss' WW could have changed the game and gave them some direction for the DC Comics movies.

I know they have to be screaming in a pillow about this major f**k up.
