Wonder Woman: The Movie

The upcoming Wonder Woman movie is already on thin ice.

Movies of female comic book heroes fail due to a formula.
It tries to cater to , date nights, guys and fans.
Formula follows reasons that result in box office failure.


PREMISE: She can't be too violent.
REASON: To get a PG movie rating.
RESULT: Turns away action movie audiences.
HISTORY: Aeon Flux, Tank Girl, Elektra, Catwoman.


PREMISE: Can't wear sexy costume from comic, on screen.
REASON: Wholesome image for movie tie-in toys.
RESULT: Guys not paying to see character in boring costume.
HISTORY: Aeon Flux, Witchblade, Elektra, Birds Of Prey.


PREMISE: Dialog changed to fit mainstream audience.
REASON: Appeal to a broad family friendly audience.
RESULT: Story watered down. Fans of comic avoid movie.
HISTORY: Witchblade, Barb Wire, Poison Ivy.


PREMISE: She must have a male love interest to lean on.
REASON: Provide need for a leading man, to sell the movie.
RESULT: Makes her look weak and incompetent.
HISTORY: Supergirl, Super Ex-Girlfriend, Catwoman.


PREMISE: Her sexy image and body is toned down.
REASON: Jealous girlfriends uncomfortable at date movie.
RESULT: Bad casting ruins the character.
HISTORY: Red Sonja, Batgirl, Invisible Woman.


PREMISE: Aggressive attitude, muscular body is played down.
REASON: Insecure, homophobic males feel challenged.
RESULT: Bad casting, using anorexic, trendy eye candy.
HISTORY: Red Sonja, Supergirl, Wonder Woman.


Expect the same fate for the Wonder Woman movie.
DC Comics changed her costume to a jacket and stretch pants.
She is to be played by a skinny, pop culture girl.
Movie tie-in toys are looking very generic.
