Fox News Reveal Plans For A Wonder Woman Movie?

While criticizing Wonder Woman's new outfit for being "unpatriotic", Fox have gone ahead and decided to reveal that its all been done for an upcoming movie!...Yeah I'll take this one with an ickle pinch of salt..

Fox News have put Wonder Woman's redesigned duds under fire for being unpatriotic, with a good portion of the ol red white n blue having been removed from her costume. The fact that the characters fictional origin actually has her hailing from an island off Greece doesn't seem to have factored into their argument. Anyway, in an hilarious "quote" from a DC comic artist (who of course remains anonymous), they apparently reveal DC/WBs plans for a big screen outing for Wonder Woman, thanks Fox!..

"This new sleek and fashionable Wonder Woman will translate well to a film franchise centered on a female action hero. That wouldn’t have worked as well with the bright and flashy red, white and blue costume, and it definitely wouldn’t have played in the very lucrative international markets. The new Wonder Woman costume looks like something you could put on Angelina Jolie, or on one of the bad guys from the ‘Twilight’ saga."

LMAO. They go on to say:

Indeed a Wonder Woman movie is in development and slated for release in 2013.

Well, someone better tell Warner Bros! Their plans are being leaked all of the internet dammit!

As always, the funniest part of any Fox News article are the comment which follow it, here are some of the doozies..

"I dont think you idiot lefties get it… its just another really minor and obscure example of the trashing anything remotely american since Al Qaeda’s leader obama has taken office! The forces behind the destruction of america want to slowly erode patriotism just as they are slowly eroding our will against fascist islamist terrorists. Now we have a non patriotic wonder woman and a mosque built at ground zero… opening on sept. 11. Stupid americans.. at least 49% of you!"

"I don’t like the new costume. The new one has no appeal. Looks like something an anti-American might put together…"

"The thing I find interesting is that, in minimizing the more patriotic American symbols in her costume, like the stars and the eagle, they managed to leave the Communist red star on the her tiara untouched."

Yep. New Wonder Woman is a Communist doncha know? Might sell more comics I guess...

[frick] her new costume!!! Oh and [frick] Donner too!!! It's not because it isn't as patriotic as it used to be, since being a Canadian i really couldn't care less about the portrayal of USA's patriotism, it's because it flat out SUCKS!!! Christ, it looks like something Donna Troy would wear! Seriously, with all the crappy development the character has been given through the ages, all it had going for it was her ICONIC costume. Sure, some tweeks to keep up with the times or to adapt it to a certain greek culture would be nice but THIS?!?!?!?!

The new costume is flat out blasphemous. THIS should be used for her new costume in comics as well as in movies:

Do yanks not even realise, the character herself is not American. She's an Amazon Warrior.

Still, this won't happen and we can be thankful. Jazzing up the character to appeal to the youth market, mentioning celebrity appeal, TWIlight. None of those reasons appeal to me.

honestly, who cares what fox news is saying... the real question is why someone cant find a way to "modernize" WW without changing the outfit. i mean there has to be an origin story or a way to explain the suit in modern times without completely changing it.

Joker08- LOL It's not Donner's fault, i just hate her with a passion LOL ;P

Whats it matter if the new suit looks "unpatriotic"? She's Greek anyway, NOT American!

The new costume has actually grown on me a bit, I still don't LIKE it exactly, but whatever. I just thought this article was pretty funny. Anyway, I'm off for a day of World Cup boozery, have a good one guys.

ToughGrappler- You only say it's all BS cause YOU only care about the character's tits and ass. Don't go project your thoughts about the character on the rest of the people that do respect her essence and want it intact.

The real irony is that is that according to Flag use regulations/recommendations; wearing the flag is actually a downright no-no and disrespectful to the flag... so all so called 'patriotic heroes' are actually being disrespectful to the country they represent. Flags should only be worn as a badge type emblem similar to how soldiers have them stitched on their sleeves. Any other decorative use by the flag is considered wrong.

Now picture all those supporters currently following the world cup... hehehe :)

Fabs- Have you ever seen a hero wearing an actual US flag, and not just the flags colors & stars? Me neither.

ToughGrappler- I'm not talking about her book that no worthy writer wishes to write, i'm talking about her character which was ICONICALLY portrayed all over the place in DC comics, not only in her own. Her books suck, not because of her but because of what the creative teams in charge of it actually do with it. YOU don't think she's iconic JUST BECAUSE her sucky ass books don't sell. That's YOU'RE perception of her, and it's a very biased one at that. YOU are projecting YOUR thoughts of the character on the rest of us and that's the "F-ing truth".

Shaman- Flag regulations refer to any design inspired by the flag. Doesn't have to actually be the flag. If you can clearly recognize the elements as flag elements then it's breaking regulations. So Captain America, Wonder-woman, Captain Britain, Alpha flight etc etc are all breaking flag regulations.

You can't beat the ORIGINAL WW costume tho...

Like I said in WONDERVERSE's article, MARVEL did the same thing 10 or so years ago!



And look how that turned out LOL!

For all the die-hard WW fans, I wouldn't worry! : P
ROMACK

I bet people who aren't fans of the genre (but know who WW is) will look at this new costume and say....
"That's supposed to be Wonder Woman? Well that doesn't look like Wonder Woman! That's just stupid why would change something as recognizable as Wonder Woman?! Someone Needs An Azzbeating!!

Well maybe not that last part, but I think you get me.

ToughGrappler- Teabag as the correct definition of the word "iconic". Your definition is what it means to be "popular". Nowhere does it say that "iconic" goes along side "profit". So just because you hate the character and you think that others do too because her own books don't sell, doesn't make her any less iconic. True, she's not the most popular character in comics today, but she is part of some of the most iconic ones.

"Ok But do they know her character? Do they know what her powers are? Do they know her Villains? Do they know her alter ego? Or do they know her just from the tv shows or cartoons?"

That is a good point, but we are talking about her looks and costume here. As a character, her details don't need to be known to the world for her to be concidered iconic. And you also have to understand that the characters that you named are known to the world because they already HAVE had box office movies made about them and plenty of tv series, live & animated. That's how the rest of the world knows about the details of those heroes. Not because of their comics' sales.

I do believe some truth to it. They seem to take an American part out of it. In Superman Returns the took out the American way out of the Superman ideals. Instead they say "does he stand for truth, justice and all that stuff." So, I would say they are trying to appease the international market. All that matters really to me is, as long as it's good. It's a movie.

stupid crap from fox making this political. wonder woman isn't a female captain america. it's like the entire fox company doesn't know shit about comic characters. they just like to piss people off and get paid for it. this should NOT be made to be political. what next? fox demands to change the yellow in superman's costume to white?

i'm all for a redesign, but the new one just isn't a winner. this new costume won't be for the movie because it's up to the director or whoever.
Shaman
Shaman - 7/2/2010, 6:38 AM
ToughGrappler- But that's not because people don't like her. What have the studios given the public for them to show their love of the character to? The studios didn't make a recent show about her and sure as hell haven't made any movies about her so how can you eevn compare her to Superman, Batman and Spider-man? And if people truly didn't like her, why would so many of them have wanted to see her on Smallville? WW's tv show is world reknowned as a fan favorite just as much as Flash's. People in general have always liked it. But the studios don't give a shit. Flash is very popular but where's his movie??? In fact, in the eyes of everybody, WW is still more popular than Green Lantern. And the only thing that will change that will be his movie. That just means that if WW gets her own movie, it has a very good chance of surpassing Green Lantern's profits at the box office. Just on account of nostalgia it would make as much money as GL. And if the story they come up with is any good, it would definitely surpass it.
