the chance of Joss PLAYING wonder woman

and I just have to say I spewed cake crumbs all over the place. (Yes, I am eating a piece of my DD's 16th birthday cake for breakfast.)

I have to say that I am a bit shocked at this news. Of course I am not really surprised that Warner Brothers could not understand or appreciate Joss's vision for the movie and character.

Let's hope that now that he has some more free time he will dedicate a portion of it to our 'verse.

Heh. If you count Vigilante as a Nathan cameo (Nathan played Vig on JLU), this is even more on-topic:

Those last three panels are comedy gold. Batman makes everything funnier.

I was under the impression that Joss' contract w/Joel Silver required him to wait on 'Goners', that Joss had to work exclusively (in terms of the movie industry, not w/regard to comic books) on Wonder Woman....
I'm hoping that tearing up that contract w/Joel Silver means that 'Goners' WILL go ahead now....

of course there is the problem of Mary Parent no longer being w/Universal....

but I hear that horror pictures always get the green light (that they always make good $$$)

we shall see, I suppose.

At any rate, I would have loved to have seen Joss' vision for Wonder Woman, but if we were going to see Joel Silver's vision with Joss' name attached to a great big turkey, then I'm happier without it.

Hi Embers. I remember this article from a year ago, where Joss said he'd do whatever came first.
http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=17839

I don't know which will come first, it's really which studio is the most interested in making one of them."

oh yeah, I remember that...I even had the impression that Joss wanted to do Goners first,
and then suddenly it became clear he was working only on the Wonder Woman script, which I thought meant that Joel Silver had cracked his whip...
here at Whedonesque he talked of doing Goners after WW:
http://whedonesque.com/comments/9528#more
(although clearly he wasn't sounding like he thought nothing would be happening on WW for a full year!)

of course I was just saying what my impression was, and obviously I'm just a confused by stander who thinks that Joel Silver evil and ...
er ....
okay, I'll be quiet now.

Reasons why Joss isn't writing Wonder Woman any more:

Pitch 1

Joss: "Okay, so we open with the credits and then the first thing we see is... Lex Luthor standing proudly over the corpse that used to be Superman!"

Pitch 2

Joss: "...so Wonder Woman is betrayed by the Green Lantern and Hawkman. She's hurt. She's vulnerable. In her darkest hour she turns to The Flash for support. What she doesn't know is that Batman, who has turned evil, has secretly taken over The Flash's mind. The Flash kills Wonder Woman and then-"

Pitch 3

Joss: "So our happy, cheerful Wonder Woman decides to go home for a visit. She walks into an almost empty palace, and notices her Mum is sitting on the throne. Then she notices she's sort of slumped to one side, like she's asleep. It's not until we do a close up shot that we see that her Mother's eyes are wide open and unblinking..."

Pitch 4

Joss: "But she broke some guys neck in the comics!!! I'm sure she did!!!"

Pitch 5

Joss: "Now it's not until Black Canary raises her from the dead a second time that she gets really depressed. Which is an issue, since raising the dead kinda pushed Canary over the edge..."

Pitch 6

Joss: "So... she's not allowed make any quips when she kills people? Wait... what do you mean she's not allowed kill people???"

Pitch 7

Joss: "So not only has she lost all her superpowers, but it turns out that The Green Lantern is responsible!

Pitch 8

Joss: "That's when Batman tries to rape her..."

Pitch 9

Joss: "And this part is very important... as she leaves Paradise Island forver, it blows up behind her! See, that was the plan all along!"

Pitch 10

Joss: "And then this little sister arrives out of nowhere but... and this is the best bit... everyone is acting like she's always been there!"

But its never going to happen. He can't get past wanting to kill our darlings.

Only Joss or Jim Cameron could have done WW right; now it will suck

Aerin-

roflmao- patriotic dominatrix!
When I heard joss was on this idea, that was my FIRST thought- please spirit, change that awful costume. Maybe a little slip dress: red on the bust with a gauzy white bottom and honkin big blue motorcycle boots. the armguards can be those thick goth bracelets ala renaissance faires and the gold whip... it's just gotta go.

desktop hippie- I get that you're saying he's too action/humor/character-devastating for the franchise, but I think he would be true to the original and made it fresh. I believe in joss. I would be really really really interested in reading his script/vision after the studio makes their attempt.
