Normally I would agree with you, but Wonder Woman was a WB project. If it was a Universal movie, or Universal studio execs that did this to Joss than I would definitely say that the chances of a BDS were in jeopardy.

Poor Joss, he's really had a rough few years.
Firefly - Cancelled
Angel - Cancelled
Serenity - Poor Box Office, no sequel
Spike Movie/Buffyverse Direct to DVD movies: DENIED
Wonder Woman - Fired by WB
Goners - *Crickets* from Universal, they've had over 2 years to greenlight this movie and have not.
Comic books are fun, but it should be something Joss does for fun, it shouldn't be the only job he can get.
I'm very sad about this.

Well, at least now Joss can give his attention to ideas worthy of him, and stuio execs that'll understand his work.
I wasn't too thrilled about Wonder Woman - would've been a big waste of Joss' time and energy and creativity if you ask me. I agree that positive exposure is good - key word there being 'positive'. i.e. not wonder woman

Sorry to burst your bubble, Kaneman, but there are two kinds of chick flix: 1. the romantic, needin'-some-tissue-at-the-end kind and 2. the omigod-so-many-hot/cute-guys-in-one-movie kind, which includes war and adventure movies.
I've gone to see all the Batman and Spiderman (not to mention LOTR)films in the theatre with a large group of friends in tow -- and most of them have been women. Same group would go to see WW, especially if Joss wrote it![b/]
If I'm gonna dream, I'm gonna dream big.

Got yourself a shiny crystal ball, have you?
And turning from the subject of Kaneman to the more general topic of fortune-telling, please do not make me remind us all of the "bigger than Star Wars" predictions before the release of the BDM. Just saying.

Right! Because everyone knows that in order to be a true fan, you have to be optimistic to the point of the irrational.
I'm not one for optimism, myself. More like realism. And on a realist view, this news is both good and bad. It ain't the end of the world, but it's hardly as if the heavens have split asunder and Serenity herself flown down to Earth. How's about we take things as they come?
On a related note, one has to wonder what would happen to the fanbase if something happened that crushed all hope. I reckon these boards would be a mite emptier...

the only way MAKING wonder woman would be good for Joss is if it did great at the box office. And I dont see any iteration of Wonder Woman doing big numbers. So this is a double edge sword. On one hand, if Joss is somehow outed in hollywood or given a bad rep, we will NEVER see anything more of the verse. But its good because he can get a better project to come out with and wow everyone. Wonder Woman wouldnt of done that.
