Right. Wonder Woman can fly, therefore she doesn't need a jet.

My personal theory is that she *never had a jet*. She just flew around in a sitting position to mess with people's heads.

Makes for a much more interesting image.

OMG! Wonder Woman may well be Morena!!!!

(I loved the idea of Gina, but I could love Morena too)

I think she would have the ageless quality
and a certain Greek flair...
I could see it.

There seems to be a whole lot of hinting going on!

I could definitely see Morena as Wonder Woman. And Joss should write a part for Jewel even if Morgan Freeman says yes!

Ok.

Whoa. Wonder Woman can FLY?? Yeah.. that's kinda NEW. She could never fly in the old stories. I'm still a little irked she's flying in the cartoon, the JLA one. I don't know if she's doing it in the comics, NOW, but in the OLD comics, she NEVER flew. Not without the invisible jet. the new justice league cartoon is very cool, but it's just NOT the "REAL" Wonder Woman.

OK, just had to get that off my chest, cuz, really.

As far as Morena as Wonder Woman, I listened to that interview, and he never said she was going to BE Wonder WOman - ther was just an implication he'd like to, maybe.

While I think it would be cool, I'm not sure she's really the right choice. And THAT from someone who adores her. Hubby and I think maybe she'd have to bulk up muscle-wise, to be able to pull it off.

Anyhow, just seeing SO many people saying she could fly was making me nuts. Joss seemed to know better, in the interview. He said the invisible Jet was doable. Joss knows the "real" Wonder Woman does NOT fly.

If she does in the movie, while I think it's a cool idea, I WILL be disappointed, cuz, well, Wonder Woman was NEVER a "Super" she was something else entirely. Flight is just... weird.

Just my opinion, feel free to yell and holler, cuz I ain't likely to change my mind - like I say, I think it's a cool idea, but it's still wrong.

Be prepared for Joss to completely stand any and all Wonder Woman canon on its head.

I so sincerely hope he completely rewrites the sexist patriotic crap and does something decent with it!

Talk about a character that is long overdue for a complete upheaval.

sheesh!

Kellaina, thank you for the link, that was interesting.
I don't think we need to worry about Joss letting WW look weak,
considering tha that is a complaint he had about the TV show WW (w/Lynda Carter).
And I don't think we have to worry about the 'patriotic cr@p' considering his politics.
And I REALLY don't think we have to worry about his being sexist considering BtVS.

Personally I hope that Joss gets to cast his first choice,
because I think he knows what he is doing.

And Joss never said Wonder Woman could fly,
in fact in his interview he indicated that he was going to use the invisible jet (I can't wait to see how that is handled!).

Ok, sort of true if you count the last 18 years as NEW. In 1941 she did not have the plane; she picked it up during the late 40's or 50's. She could not fly without the invisible prop-plane that eventually morphed into a jet. Like most of the DC Universe she got a big reboot after Crisis.

In 1987 she got re-written as a living statue crafted by Hippolyta, and has had the power to fly since then. I've never been comfortable with the living statue thing. Still, it's better than when she lost her powers in the 60's and trained as a martial artist under the master named "I Ching". But I did always think the invisible plane was twee. Come on, an actual god takes the time to craft her lasso, but the best transport anyone can come up with is a plane?

Rumor has it that Natasha Gray from houston, tx will be the next wonder woman. She played in Friday Night Lights which she sat next to Tim Mcgraw. She was at the Friday Night Light's movie premiere in Hollywood at the Mann's Chinese theatre where she walked the red carpet. She could be Lynda Carter's daughter! To find her pictures go to yahoo and type in "Friday Night Light's movie premiere" and search for Natasha Gray. That is where your wonder woman is!

I want Jewel to get a part too! even if it's a little one...
I saw the clips from Wizardcon and her asking as SO cute!

I dunno whether Morena could do it or not..she is a little little!

Someone told me they heard that Lucy Lawless is being considered for the Wonder Woman role.

If you ask me, she would be the PERFECT one to be Wonder Woman!! She is a classic beauty and has a strong personality. As Xena, she was the Wonder Woman of that storyline. After thinking of her in the role of Wonder Woman, I can't really think of anyone else who would fit the part.
