Wonder Woman

Along with Superman and Batman, Wonder Woman is one of the three pillars of the original DC universe.

Lynda Carter's 70s TV show did a suprisingly good job, but now it's time for a modern WW for the big screen.

This film will tell her origins and how she first steps into the modern world - the post 9/11 modern world.

Joss Whedon is set to write and direct, and strong women are his speciality. Buffy, Faith, Ripley in Alien Resurrection. The ultimate comic book heroine couldn't have a better person to tell her story.

So who will play her? Morena Baccarin from Firefly would look great, or Summer Glau who could handle the athletic side of things. Or perhaps it will be an unknown?
