I really enjoyed that article, thanks for posting the link Simon.

Darn skippy I would pay - and I'd do more recruiting than for Serenity if it was done right.
I sure hope they don't drag it out past 2007.

Lots of praise for Joss spread throughout the article - good to see. I liked the bit where they implied that if Joss had done Catwoman or Elektra they would've been done right :)

Lol, yeah, I liked that bit too. I hafta say, though, it's true. Joss himself is a lover of comics - he's a fanboy, so he respects the material. The guys who made Catwoman and Elektra? Not so much.

Have, to say, I'm not quite sure if I'll see "Wonder Woman" yet. I mean, on one hand, it's a Joss movie, and I'm sure it'll be great. On the other, I don't really care about Wonder Woman. Well, it won't come out for a year or so, so there's plenty of time to make up my mind.

I don't think it'll be that good, but I'll see it anyway. But you never know, it could be better than Spider-Man, and I thought that was gonna suck, and look how good that turned out.

I am very curious to see how this goes. Its absolutely true that generally, (and certainly the last ten years or so) Hollywood doesn't have a clue what to do with a strong female lead. If anyone knows what to do with those, it's Joss, but will this work with the 'big' audience?

And of course, will he manage to make me care about WW? Probably. Not because it's her, but because it's him.

I also wonder if this is one of the reasons Joss was never crazy about the X-Men movies: The comics had really strong female characters and the movies marginalized pretty much all of them. Storm was a badly cast, badly acted, and badly-accented joke, Jean was just 'the-gal-the-guys-like' and Rogue was turned into a whiny damsel in distress. Not to mention the fact that Joss' favorite, Kitty, had about 1.03 seconds of screen time;-)

I don't even remember Kitty being in it. Hmmm.... I've got to quit drinking.

ShotgunWes | June 24, 22:29 CET

I am so glad someone else agrees with me about Jean and Rogue. Rogue is arguable the strongest female in Marvel, and she was disected. Jean a cold iceberg.

And now if rumors are true, I am supposed to care about a KittyIceman/Rogue triangle?
