WWW - Wonder Woman Whedon?
Ok, so in a previous post I waxed taciturn (if one can wax eloquent, how about waxing briefly... all of a sudden I'm sounding like a Nair commercial) about one of two new Joss Whedon movie adaptations, specifically Wonder Woman.
I somehow feel that this will not be the early 80's kitsch, see through jet, and stars and stripes granny panty version of WW. Eep is right, that's just too establishment.
Whedon is known for his strong women characters (he wrote Alien Resurrection, created Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and of course Cordy, Fred, Darla, and Jasmine in Angel, .... and then there's River from Firefly..) and one might even argue a strong feminist perspective. After all, in one of the Buffy commentaries he says that he created the character to counter the trend that the first woman who has sex in a horror movie gets killed.
I expect WW to be a) strongly counter cultural b) strongly independent c) strongly... well... strong.

There is going to have to be some kind of ironic sly twist somewhere - although I always thought the tiara was pretty cool... you also have to add to the list Zoe of Firefly
