IESB Did an interview with Joss Whedon.. here's the WW part...

IESB: Wonder Woman, you're working on it?

JW: Yes.

IESB: How soon do we get some announcements? Is Joel [Silver] pushing you? When do we find out who is going to be Wonder Woman?

JW: We find out who is going to be Wonder Woman when they cast it?I am finishing the script now, I am a few weeks away from a draft, they'll take a look at that and they'll either say this is absolutely perfect for Paul Sorvino or they'll say this sucks and hire somebody else, it's impossible to say but I think in a few weeks time they should get a sense of what I am doing in the movie and then we can start talking about casting.

IESB: Now do you have anything in mind, what age she is going to be, she is going to be young 20's?

JW: Again, I do and I don't, it's a coming of age story but it's a coming of age story for somebody who's not necessarily an adolescent she's never been off this island that she lives on so she literally could be between 15 and 30, we find the actress who is right for that?we hire her, it doesn't matter how old she is.

IESB: So it's going to be an origin story just like Batman Begins?

JW: Yeah it is, very different than Batman Begins but very similar in being an origin story. But the great thing about her is that she's never been in the world, every experience is new. She's young whether or not she's actually young.

IESB: There are going to villains, there's going to be all that good stuff? And it's going to stay loyal to the comic books?

JW: Well the villains are of my own creation. I don't think Wonder Woman has the greatest rogues gallery in the world so I created someone of my own for her to come up against. It has to do with Greek mythology and the roots that the original comic was built on.

IESB: So when do you think you are going to start shooting?

JW: I have no idea, there is no schedule for this. If they love the script it will be soon if they don't it'll be the other thing, it's impossible to tell. Right now I am in the thick of the script. I feel that it's amazing, I can't wait to shoot it but you show it to the studio and who knows how they are going to react.

You stray too far from the source material and you will suffer and die.
See Halle Berry's Catwoman to see what I mean.

No, Wonder Woman does not have the Rogues Gallery that Batman or Superman does, but she has her own and the fans deserve to see them.

I trust that Joss will do WW some justice. I love his mix of darkness and humor he brought in Buffy, Angel, and Serenity. If you havent seen Serenity I highly recommend it. I'm not happy that no established villians will be in the film but has he ruled out the gods too?

Hmmm...might be interesting to see what type of "mythical" being he can come up with.

What scares me on this is that if he decides to go to far back into a time period, her costume may end up looking more like a Xena type. I just can't understand why he's so afraid to stick with the costume in it's original form. Forget the "objectivity" of it...If he wants to stay true to the character, than do that. Don't change what has been so successful throughout 60 yrs of existence.

I don't agree at all with him making up a villain, he said himself that Wonder Woman had some of the best Villians, so why not use them? And Plus, you see what happened after the second Superman movie when they made up villians. I mean come on, Nuclear Man?
