Big time characters like Superman and Batman have had entire franchises, while lesser known characters such as Steel and Jonah Hex have even gotten movies.
And yet, still no Wonder Woman. Seriously, DC what's the holdup. What's stopping DC from getting this movie made?
Let's see, could it be that Wonder Woman isn't well known? No, she's one of the most famous fictional characters on the planet. Are superhero movies unsuccessful at the box office? No, just look at the receipts for the "Iron Man" movies. It can't be casting because there are quite a few actresses who could play this part.
Hmm, maybe it's her story. No, because Diana Prince is an Amazon Princess who becomes one of Earth's greatest protectors.
So again, I ask DC, what's the holdup.
Earlier this week at the Saturn Awards mega producer Lauren Shuler-Donner said that she is campaigning DC to let her produce a Wonder Woman movie.
In an interview with scifiwire.com, Shuler-Donner discussed her plans.
"I'm campaigning to produce Wonder Woman for DC and Warners," she said. "They don't want it but I just think she's the greatest character...I want to produce Wonder Woman."
This is the best idea I've heard since Joss Whedon was involved with this project.
Shuler-Donner obviously knows her stuff, with the "X-Men" movies among the 37 films on her resume. She is also working on the upcoming "Deadpool," "X-Men: First Class" and "X-Men Origins: Magneto."
She knows the business, so who better to make this movie happen than a powerful woman who successfully navigates a male dominated field.
If DC is smart, they'll get her onboard as soon as possible and then sign up Kathryn Bigelow to direct, because clearly some women are going to have to take charge to make a Wonder Woman movie a reality.
