That's a valid concern. However Peter Pan's premise is quite boring. Wonder Woman has a more interesting storyline. I'm sure Patty Jenkins is motivated enough to make it sure that she has a good product.

Snyder should be involved at least a little, yeah? If so, I trust him to make sure we get at least a solid Wonder Woman film, he has a good track record with strong women in his movies.

Someone should give a memo to movie producers that no one cares about Peter Pan or Tarzan anymore.

.... I dunno about that. Sucker Punch for all this girl power nature in there... didn't really do much for creating those women to have any sort of depth. They were just pretty at best. Dolls/action figures essentially. He's talked about it and I GET what he is saying but his execution of it was poor. Add in that none of the action, for however pretty it was, lacked any kind of substance to it.

I agree. I DO like Sucker Punch, but the message and theme went over most people's heads, which is a sign of poor execution, as you say. Having read about how people interpret it later on I've come to appreciate it a whole lot more, but it's hidden beneath so many layers that most people just won't notice and mistake it for something it wasn't intended to be. I'm not one for being spoon-fed morals and messages, but Sucker Punch really could have used some more clarity.

As a history buff I'm really fascinated by the World War I aspect at least par of this film has.

[dgoswald]

I've mentioned her previously - and apologies if she's been mentioned - but Lucy Lawless circa 1997, would've killed it as WW. No contest.

I still think it's a random setting for Wonder Woman's first film to take place in but I'm optimistic towards this.

At least it's not WWII, I'm so burnt out on WWII films. I have zero excitement for Nolan's next project. I couldn't care less about that story.

A pity no one wanted to make a Wonder Woman movie back then, because "women superheroes don't work", if I had my conspiracy hat on I'd say that Supergirl and Catwoman were made on purpose to make the studios right.

I never bought into the Lucy Lawless hype, for me at the time i wanted to see Catherine Zeta-Jones in the role, she would have been in the mid-twenties at the time and perfect for the role

In fact here she was in 1998 in the first Zorro film



Just in that photo she gives off the perfect Princess Diana vibe

[AaronJ]

Yeah, CZJ was my choice back then, too.

But by the early 2000s I had moved onto Priyanka Chopra.

Good shout. I never gave CZJ much thought as WW, but she has that dusky look that would be perfect for the character.

[AaronJ]

Good lord is she gorgeous.

CZJ would have been the perfect Wonder Woman... sadly no one listened to my cries and pleas and prayers and threats.
