Wonder Woman Movie Resurrected in the Wake of JLA Movie Death?
Set your "I'm ambivalent about that upcoming comic book movie" settings from Justice League of America to Wonder Woman.

You Can't Gestapo The Hitler Clones

The last three Warner movies with female leads bombed: Nicole Kidman's The Invasion, Swank's The Reaping, and Foster's The Brave One. So Warner Bros. president of production Jeff Robinov says he won't even look at a script with a female lead ever again. More »

Justice League Movie Could Be Way Too Comic Book-y
The Justice League movie will be ultra faithful to the comic book, reports the newest Entertainment Weekly. If anything, the new ensemble flick sounds like it may fall into the common trap of trying to shoehorn too many elements from the comics into one film. More »
