Here I am busy all fighting the good fight and being critical of sexism and highlighting awesome women and I’ve still been so indoctrinated by the sexism rampant in comics that these heroes seemed off somehow.

After Nicholas Winding Refn got all kinds of much deserved praise for his excellent (if very white) 2011 noir wonderment Drive he came right out and said his dream job was directing Cristina Hendricks in a Wonder Woman movie. Which is why this exists. But because Hollywood has a fear of Wonder Woman’s womanly badassery [...]

With another network I’d be worried this was all suit-speak for the show being dead in the water, but the people running CW currently are insanely committed cool high concept science fiction and DC Comics products.

1. Josh Peck is terrible in this. I didn’t watch Drake & Josh, so I wasn’t seeing him as an R&B singer’s plucky sidekick, but his idea of being an action hero is talking constantly in a prepubescent Batman voice. It’s hilarious. “Alfred, I had a funny dream about Catwoman and when I woke up [...]

Have we discussed CW’s plans to do for Wonder Woman what they’ve done for Green Arrow and Superman? Because they’re actually casting that Wonder Woman pilot from comic book scribe Allan Heinberg even though he’s not done writing the script. Of note is that the lead of “Amazon” isn’t Diana, but an original character, Iris. [...]

And we want a whiter version and it needs to be a rip off of Stallone’s Expendables rather than simply a bad ass action film starring women. So producer [...]

She was the daughter of a general with a passion for truth and justice and tight blue long underwear. The object of affection for the most powerful and recognizable man in the world she teased, frustrated, delighted and humoured us through multiple tv shows, a series of best-selling comics and a couple of movies you [...]

There hasn’t been a lot of movement on a Justice League movie since George Miller’s failed scramble a few years back (with Rupert Evans as Superman and some model you’ve never heard of if you’re not into bikini fashions as Wonder Woman!) . Now the Dark Knight Rises has come out and done pretty well, [...]

This past weekend at Comic-Con Devin Faraci of Badass Digest (are you reading them? They’re seriously excellent) pegged down one presidents of Marvel Studios, the company that’s producing all those superhero films you spend money on in the summer. Before Comic-Con Faraci and many other online pundits had been under the impression that the big [...]
