Who Will Script the Fight for My Rights Now?
I had suspicions, Gentle Reader, due to delays, and vast rumors, but never once did I believe that my suspicions could come true.
But they have. Joss Whedon is no longer writing the Wonder Woman movie.
You are well aware by now my love for All Things Whedon, and I feel that he is one of the few writers in production today who writes a great strong, supernatural woman. It's a hard character to write, certainly, and Mr. Whedon always has been, for This Humble Author, at least, quite Up To The Task.
But what now? IMDB has had a 2007 release date for the Wonder Woman movie up for years, and we're all Pretty Sure that's never going to happen. Probably not next year, either.
I can't help but feel that this is just yet another brick in the long, delayed wall of Wonder Woman Pop Culture. The movie unscripted and delayed, the comic book constantly pushed back and shuffled from writer to writer since Crisis, what next for the Amazon Princess? Why can't she have the consistency she deserves?
Why can't we see the Wonder we've waited so long to see?
