Joss Whedon Talks Wonder Woman Script, Humor and Lynda Carter. We're assured that the movie will have Whedon-esque dialogue.

As opposed to Whedonesque dialogue obviously. I know many posters would love to see the movie with dialogue based on posts from this site but it might not work that well :p.

"Jeepers! your Golden Rope O' Honesty has made me all truthsome!"

"Wow. He's going all exposition-y."

"Sod this. [pop culture reference]. Think I'll bugger off the invisible plane for a scone."
If this film is going to be an origin tale, Lynda might fit the role of Queen Hippolyte. Just a thought.
Good point, thiefjehat, unless he's going for the whole "Amazons are Immortal" thing, in which case...they're stuck in their twenties, physically. Frankly though, I would LOVE to see Lynda Carter as Hippolyta.
I think Joss's Wonder women seems a little like Aleria or, to clarify in case I spelled her name wrong, the demon in Fred's body. perhaps a happier Aleria-Like the day she beat up Spike :)
It's Illyria beckyboo! :) Good analogy.
Illryia-WonderWoman: Can I keep Superman as a pet?
I'm not too very familiar with Wonder Woman (I like shades of gray with my superheroes, and the only DC hero that really satisfies that hunger is Batman; I usually Make Mine Marvel), but Joss seems like the perfect candidate to retool her for the big screen.

However, there are a couple things I'm worried about. He's said he's never been big into the Wonder Woman comic books, and I doubt that'll sit well with fans. In fact, my father, a devout DC reader, has already been put off by that comment, saying, "It sounds like he's going to ruin 60 years of continuity."

Plus, this whole fish out of water humor scenario he keeps bringing up sounds pretty convential and not very Jossian...but, hey, I'm probably just getting a bit too anxious, just like I was with Serenity before that Big Damn Trailer.
