That Young Wonder Woman TV Show Is Being “Redeveloped”

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:00 pm, May 16th, 2013

When we first heard there was going to be another attempt at a Wonder Woman television show after the failed attempt that was David E. Kelley’s pilot, we were shocked. We got as far as character descriptions and even a few actors’ names being thrown in the ring to play Princess Diana but then came a pause, one we hoped didn’t mean the end of the project. Thankfully, we can now report the series, titled Amazon, is still being worked on.

Things We Saw Today: Once Upon A Time’s Alice In Wonderland

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:30 pm, May 11th, 2013

Here’s our first look at actress Sophie Lowe from the Once Upon a Time spinoff, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. Could they not have just called it Once in Wonderland? Anyway, apparently John Lithgow is set to play the White Rabbit, which I hadn’t heard before. (via Entertainment Weekly)

First Look at Grant Morrison’s Wonder Woman Retelling Features Hercules Getting Choked Out

by Susana Polo | 11:26 am, May 10th, 2013

DC’s Earth One series (which they’ve done for Batman and Superman) so far, are non-canonical retellings of the origin stories of DC’s biggest characters. And when I say retellings, I mean Superman in a hoodie and Batman without his limitless fortune, you know, the kind of rebootings that try to tell a different kind of story with a familiar character. Not having read Superman: Earth One or Batman: Earth One, I couldn’t tell you how successful they wound up being, and some of the things Grant Morrison‘s said about his Wonder Woman: Earth One haven’t impressed (nor have they definitively condemned in my opinion), but I’ll say this for the guy: he knows how to write superheroes as gods. There could be worse places to start presenting the book to me than with art of (likely) Queen Hippolyta going to town on Hercules.

David S. Goyer is the screenwriter behind Warner Bros. only successful DC character adaptations of the last ten years, the person who’s been putting words in the mouths of Batman and Superman for a while now. Yesterday he took to Reddit to answer questions from one and all, and was asked who of DC’s heroes he’d like to tackle next. His only answer?

Wonder Woman.

You Can Watch Wonder Women! The Untold Story Of American Superheroines On Your Own TV Tonight

by Susana Polo | 12:09 pm, April 15th, 2013

Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines is a meditation on the history of the female hero in modern American culture told through the changing interpretation and representation of the character of Wonder Woman, and if that doesn’t already sucker you in to watching it, then maybe the fact that it’s being lauded from all corners, including the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in the Media, will.

It’s an independent documentary film, so screenings in your area might have been thin on the ground. The good news is the movie has become part of PBS’ Indepedent Lens series, which runs a new independent film every Monday night. Wonder Women! airs tonight at 10 pm, though you probably want to check your local PBS listings. Afterwards, if you just can’t get enough of discussion about female characters and gender representation in media, you might want to check out this panel discussion that followed a screening of the film in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. It included folks from the Geena Davis Institute, the LA Times, and our contributing writer Zoe Chevat. An upcoming Wonder Women! panel in New York will feature yours truly, so stay tuned for info on that as well!

Wonder Woman Strikes A Pose On This Fake Justice Magazine Cover

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:21 pm, April 8th, 2013

Artist Stanley Lau, aka artgerm, shows how a superheroine can look sexy and strong at the same time without having to show both her breasts and butt at the same time. I’d buy this.

Food Artist Ida Skivenes Recreates Classic Works of Art on Toast

by Rebecca Pahle | 3:30 pm, April 3rd, 2013

As part of her Art Toast Project, Norwegian food artist Ida Skivenes has made famous paintings by artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, and Salvador Dalí much, much tastier than they originally were. Some samples of her toast-tacular art is after the jump. As a bonus, I’ve included Skivenes’ toast versions of Batman and Wonder Woman. If anyone tries to tell you Batman and Wonder Woman aren’t works of art in and of themselves, they are wrong.
