Where DC Should Look Besides Wonder Woman

Where DC Should  Look Besides Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman has been crying out to be made into a movie for years but for some reason it still hasn't happened.It's time for a different DC Superheroine to step up to the plate but who would be capable of besting the Amazon Princess?

Now before going into this bare in mind my name is Irishlad not lass.
I can pretend I understand what a strong female character is and what would work in a movie
but at the end of the day I'm a guy so just bare with me.
For years people have been pushing for a Wonder Woman movie.


As a fan of Wonder Woman myself it breaks my heart to see she is the only one of the trinity not to get a movie.
I think it's time to change though and take a different approach.
There are hundreds of other DC women characters out there just begging to be adapted.
If you think about it over at Marvel we consider Spider-Man,Thor,Captain America and Ironman as the big heroes but the first
film made by Marvel Studios in order to get to there was a character very few
heard of,Blade



So who do I think should be their Plan B?
Well it's a tough one.
They have tried this before with a movie that hurts to even speak its title,Catwoman.
However I hope we can all agree that was just a pathetic movie made by pervert people who only wanted to see Halle Berry
in a Catwoman costume and wrote a script just so they could have an hour and a half of it.
I think a good idea might be Birds of Prey.

Since DC aren't working on a Justice League title they might as well do this.
It would get more acknowledgement from the media as it's the first Team movie from DC.
It consists of bad ass members such as Black Canary and Huntress and is led by Batmans former sidekick Oracle.
Another DC character I think would be cool to see is Supergirl.

Now don't give me that feminist she's tied down by Superman crap.
She's her own character just asked any of her thousands of fans around the world.
What I found so intresting about her was the fact she arrived at earth as a teen.
She was a more believable alien than Superman,because certain things she just didn't understand about earth.
Superman pretty much just embraced the American way.
As I said above though I have no idea who would do well in a movie this is just my opinion.
I'd also like to hear yours though.
If you had to choose someone other than Wonder Woman to be in a DC movie who would it be and why?

@TheGODDAMNSUPERGUY & ToughGrappler I understand where you guys are coming from all I'm saying is I gave the example of Marvel.
Blade came before Marvels trinity Captain America,Thor and Ironman.
He paved the way for them this is what the editorial is about I love Wonder Woman.

I think that a Wonder Women movie should be made but DC and WB need to get their priorities straight. They need to make quality movies like Marvel does. I think this is all riding on how Superman does because if that fails then we might not ever see other DC movies soon.

That Birds of Prey pic look's Awesome ! ! ! !

Wonder Woman looks to campy in that outfit, if they make a WW film, WB must change her entire costume.

Supergirl already had a film. Alot f people foreget that. I wouldn't mind having a new Supergirl film, though.

@marvel72: Zatanna is tied with Batman for my favorite superhero, but I say no to having a Zatanna film for at least 13 years. That is the minimum amount, and I would only be for it if Zatanna has had her mythos expanded alot more in those 13 years. I know they can just make up the mythos for the movie, bring in some villain she fought once or twice, and give her a fresh supporting cast; however, I would like to see an ongoing, last at least 50 issues if not 75, with Zatanna as the starring roll. Due to the relaunch, DC canceled the current Zatanna ongoing. It's sales weren't low enough to be canceled if the relauch hadn't existed. I would like to see Zatanna done again. Paul Dini had set up a sorcerer named Brother Night as her arch-nemesis with other villains including demons and a living puppet, and had Zatanna's stage manager, Mikey and her previously established cousin, Zach appear as supporting characters. It was great although the movie will likely ignore that since there is so little to go on. the movie will probably be distant from the comics and make up it's own thig like Blade. I want to see Zatanna as an adaption. I don't want to see her movie as having the basic roots of a character from the comics.

If not Wonder Woman, it should be Zatanna, I also think Raven would be pretty cool. No to Birds of Prey I just keep thinking about that horrible CW series, there is just way to much set up that has to be done for that movie to work. And no to Supergirl/Powergirl because they have to play to much off Superman and to be done right they would need to appear in a Superman movie first. The same thing can be said about Batgirl, Batwoman, and Huntress with Batman. Plus they just seem like to much of a rip off of Batman and Superman. And back to Powergirl her origin would be way to hard to explain to general audiences and most would be wondering what ever happened to Supergirl.

If ever they make a Green Arrow movie Black Canary should be in it though.

I don't see why Wonder Woman movie can't work if you can streamline the mythology of Thor I don't see why you can't do Wonder Woman. and Hopefully DC start treating less like a B lister, its like there hell bent on shoving shitty GL in to the trinity. Superman suffered the same fate as Wonder Woman in the comics, thankfully DC's half assed reboot seems to be helping them achieve there former statuses.

Good editorial...and good point.
I like you're suggestions- they'd make good films if done with care.
I agree with Marvel72, that 'Powegirl' should get the first shot at a feature.
2nd would be 'Huntress'. She can carry a movie on her own. Lots of juicy back-story to work from.

@teabag- Where do I sign up for that class?

@Hellsing: Green Lantern's comics sell better than WW. It has nothing to do with DC pushing for one character's popularity more than another's just because.
