7 Reasons why WB is dicking around on a Wonder Woman movie


Real Talk... WB/DC Entertainment is screwing over Wonder Woman big time! It just seems that they don't have a handle on her and making up tired excuses to keep her off the screen.

It's frustrating that they can't get this together. But to shed some light into my rant, I will provide some evidence to my case.
  1. DC changed her completely in the New 52. Unlike Bats or Supes, Diana gets a whole new make over, making her more warrior and less likable.
  2. WB handed Wonder Woman to David E. Kelley, a writer that had no idea how to write her. And the result was a failed pilot.
  3. WB executives keeps claiming WW is a strange bird. They are always using that excuse, making it hard to get Diana on the screen.
  4.  They are willing make a Flash film before hers. Really, WB? The Flash? Who's beating down the door to see that superhero?
  5. And continuing on with that notion, WB is willing reboot Batman... for the 5th time. The 5th time! Can we get at least one shot for Diana?
  6. WB has shot down a few plans for WW films and TV series over the years. Did you know there were 3 TV ideas for a WW series? All of them were very different incarnations. 
  7.  WB can't find a top director or writer for WW. They go out of their way for Bats and Supes, but for Diana, they would probably give the project to an intern.
Those are just a few reasons. If I continue, I'll get upset.

I didn't know about all of this going on. Three different TV ideas? I thought there were only two. And the Flash getting a movie? That's like giving the twelfth Duggar kid a spinoff show on TLC.

I'd to posit that Supes also was changed around in the Noo52 and is less likable. Everyone besides Bats did because bats was Neil Gaiman's porject, he didn;t even need to mention the fucking 52 change as continued to write Bats before and after the event.

That doesn't matter because nothing in the Nu52 was in any of the Batman or Superman movie reboots. They chose some well known parts of their stories and did whatever they wanted (in the case of MoS they fucked everything up). WW may not have a universally known story but that doesn't matter. There are enough people who watched Justice League Unlimited and know the jist of it. Just make a fucking movie people like and THAT will be the canon they all learn
