Wonder Woman is an American fictional DC Comics super heroine created by psychologist and writer William Moulton Marston. She first appeared in All Star Comics #8 (December-January 1941). The Wonder Woman title has been published by DC Comics almost continuously except for a brief hiatus in 1986. Her depiction as a heroine fighting for justice, love, peace, and sexual equality has also led to Wonder Woman being widely considered a feminist icon. Wonder Woman is a warrior princess of the Amazons (based on the Amazons of Greek mythology) and is known in her homeland as Diana of Themyscira. She is gifted with a wide range of superhuman powers and superior combat and battle skills. She also possesses an arsenal of weapons, including the Lasso of Truth, a pair of indestructible bracelets, a tiara which serves as a projectile, and, in some stories, an invisible airplane.

About the Movie
The Director
I think Mike Newell (
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time) would make a great director. He knows the genre well and I like his style. I think he could also translate Wonder Woman from “
You’re a Wonder, Wonder Woman” to “
BAD@$$, Wonder Woman”
The Writers
I chose Ted Elliot and Terry Russo. They are behind…
• the Pirates of the Caribbean movies
• the Mask/Legend of Zorro
• Aladdin
• Treasure Planet
• (the upcoming) Lone Ranger
• and more!
It’s obvious that they can write awesome adventures I want Wonder Woman to be a fantasy adventure. They could definitely make Wonder Woman a kick-@$$ female superhero.
Tone
Most of my films in the DCCU so far have been darker, but I want this to be the tone of the Pirates film series or Prince of Persia. They are somewhat dark, but not too dark. I just can’t see wonder woman really really dark.
Costume
Wonder Woman has one of the most iconic costumes in all of comics. Whenever her costume is redesigned there is some controversy. I personally don’t know exactly which one. I wanted to establish more so in the look of the costume that this is armor not a superhero suit. I want it to be realistic armor, but I still want it to remain true to the source material. I also want it to be modern day. I don’t want Lynda Carter WW.
Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman’s origins have been changed over the years. Her origin (as in how she was born, how she got her powers) is…
Hippolyta the Queen of the Amazons always wanted a daughter, but she was unable to bare children. Her only hope was that a god could give her one. Then began an affair with Zeus. Yet, she still couldn’t even bare the child of a God. Zeus felt sympathy and answered her prayers. Zeus asked all of the gods to help bless a baby girl, for Hippolyta made from clay. Hippolyta was told to form the baby out of clay and then come back the next day. The gods who agreed each blessed her
Demeter: With Strength, Invulnerability/Durability,
Hermes: With Speed, Flight, Healing factor
Athena: Divine Wisdom
Aphrodite: Great Beauty
Artemis: Enhanced Sense
The next day Hippolyta came back to find a beautiful baby girl. She named her Diana…
I decided to mix the new 52 origin with the original one. I liked the idea of Zeus and Hippolyta having an affair and it causing Hera to get angry. It helps with the plot for this movie and for character development.
Gods
You’ll find that some actors might be older than there characters parents. If this happens that means that they’re a God. Since the gods can chose their appearance I had an idea. If you know what Hermes and Apollo look like in the new 52 that is what they would look like in their natural appearance (in my DCCU). If you know what Hera looks like in the new 52 that is her human appearance. Some gods like the natural, some gods like the natural. Also they can decide what they want to look like age wise when in human appearance.
Plot:
Diana is an Amazon. She was once nothing but a clay figure but she was blessed by the gods and turned into a beautiful little baby girl. Diana grew up to be one of the best warriors in Amazonian history.
One day a pilot crashes onto the beach of Themyscira. The pilot is Steve Trevor. They take Trevor for prisoner. Hippolyta holds a tournament to see which Amazon is worthy of taking him back to America. Hippolyta forbids Diana from competing for reasons unknown to Diana.
Diana does not listen and competes in a disguise. Diana wins and takes Trevor back to America. But as soon as she steps foot into the modern world. Monsters and the U.S government attack and don’t seem to stop. Diana realizes that all of this is coming from someone. She just has to figure out whom.
Can Diana and Steve find out who’s behind all of this, and if they do can they stand up against that foe.
I honestly feel that Adrianne Palicki DESERVES this role. After watching G.I Joe I couldn’t stop thinking about how much I want her as WW. She’s the perfect choice. She has a respectable acting ability, looks good while opening a can of whoop@$$ on someone.
Others Considered:
Gina Carano
Kate Beckinsale
Jamie Alexander
Olivia Wilde
Gemma Arterton
I think Stephen Amell would make a great Steve Trevor. If you watch Arrow, think back to how Oliver acted when he first got on the island. That’s how I want Steve to be when he first gets on Themyscira then he evolves into a hero while going on this journey with Diana.
Others Considered:
Bradley Cooper
Chris Pine
Justin Hartley
I think Lucy Lawless would be a great Hippolyta. She could definitely be a great leader and could be a bad@$$ when needed. Xena and WW on the same screen, I approve. I would’ve chosen Lynda Carter, but since the Amazons are immortal (as long as they stay on Themyscira) I think they shouldn’t look too old.
Others Considered:
Lynda Carter
Charlize Theron
I think Javier Bardem would make a great menacing Ares. Not that much to say…
Others Considered:
Jason Momoa
I think Gina Carano would make a great Aleka. A lot of people want her as WW, but I don’t think she has enough to play WW.
Others Considered:
Zoe Saldana
I think Charlize Theron would be the perfect Hera. After watching Snow White and the Huntsman I walked away saying that she stole the show. Her character has the same presence and attitude I want Hera to have.
Others Considered:
none
I think Eric Bana would make a great Zeus. He’s a great actor and could pull of Zeus’s small yet big role.
Others Considered:
none
I think Doug Jones would make an awesome Hermes. Since he is in his natural appearance he looks somewhat like an alien. Something that will come up in the future. Well back on topic, I think Doug Jones would make a great Hermes. He has the right body for it and is a very talented actor.
Others Considered
Tom Hiddleston
I think Tyrese would make a great Apollo. I took after the new 52 charismatic Apollo. I also feel that there doesn’t have to be one distinct race to the gods. He’s in natural appearance.
Others Considered:
Terrence Howard
Beyoncé can actually act and we all know we’d love to see her as Artemis. Despite the picture I’m talking about the goddess not the Amazon
Others Considered:
Jamie Alexander
After Credits Scene
Diana and Hippolyta stand on the beach looking out at the sea when a huge tidal wave rises out of the sea. On top of it is a bearded man riding in a chariot pulled by dolphins.
“He’s here” Hippolyta says
“Poseidon?” Diana asks her mother
“No, a descendant though…” Hippolyta responds.
