Tis a good day for women when Warner Bros reveal that a Wonder Woman adaptation is top of their list of priorities. While the Marvel Universe's forthcoming slate is awash with more male superheroes than you could shake a stick at, it's nice to know the women will be represented a little more over in the world of DC Comics.
Head of DC Entertainment, Diane Nelson says to The Hollywood Reporter: "We have to get her right, we have to... She is such an icon for both genders and all ages and for people who love the original TV show and people who read the comics now... I think one of the biggest challenges at the company is getting that right on any size screen. The reasons why are probably pretty subjective - she doesn't have the single, clear, compelling story that everyone knows and recognises... There are lots of facets to Wonder Woman, and I think the key is, how do you get the right facet for that right medium? What you do in TV has to be different than what you do in features. She has been, since I started, one of the top three priorities for DC and for Warner Bros. We are still trying right now, but she's tricky."
It'll be a tough pair of shoes/tights/pants to fill but who's up to the task?
