Wonder Woman, I don't know what you're charging me with, but I DID IT!!
It’s time for a new Supervator.com blog, this time on one of my favorite subjects: Comic superhero movies. Well, now there’ve been recent silver screen versions of the X-Men, Wolverine, Spider-man, Batman the Dark Knight, Superman, the Hulk, Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, Daredevil, Elektra, the Watchmen, and a few others.
Sexy Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman from the 1975 live action TV Series!
Well, what about WONDER WOMAN? Where’s HER movie, Warner Brothers? I mean, she’s only been around since, what, 1941? With all this procrastination, thank God she’s an amazon goddess and doesn’t age. With the roll that comic movies are on nowadays, this is the perfect time for a major motion picture release of the JLA’s hot & sexy main female superhero.
Angelina Jolie as Wonder Woman? Can you see it? So can millions of others!
Now, which actress would I like to see play Wonder Woman? How about actresses like Angelina Jolie (she’s already played Lara Croft/Tombraider), Jessica Alba (who’s already played the Invisible Girl in the Fantastic Four films), Megan Fox, Katherine Heigl, Anne Hathaway, Catherine Zeta-Jones, or even Natalie Portman. I can easily imagine a powerful soundtrack song by a group like Nickelback or a lady singer like Beyonce Knowles. And even if you put an unknown actress in the role, if Warner Brothers cast directors choose well (you know what I mean), you could put BILLIONS of girl-crazy males in movie theatre seats to see this one, and probably even a bunch of women too! Who knows? It’s 2009, and I got no problem with girls loving girls!
1960's TV hero Adam West as Batman vs Julie Newmar as the super hot Catwoman. I'd have frisked her UNTIL I found the stolen jewels.... or something.
Ok, I’m back. Had to go smoke a cigarette. Anway, while we’re on the subject of Wonder Woman, I’ll bet no one remembers this: CBS (or ABC, I think) had a 1974 original Wonder Woman tv pilot movie (yes, our WW), starring a blonde Kathy Lee Crosby (not to be confused with singer and Regis Philbin ex talk show host Kathie Lee Gifford). But I’ve always preferred Lynda Carter as the amazon goddess Diana Prince in 1975, and for me, she was the ultimate comics to television babe. Oh all right, so was Julie Newmar as Catwoman in the 1966 Adam West Batman series. AND Deidre Hall and Judy Strangis as “Electra Woman and Dyna Girl” from the Elektra Woman Saturday morning kid’s live action cartoon. AND Joanna Cameron as ISIS. Ok, there. I’m done. Til I think of some others in about 5 minutes.
Now, what good is a blog about a gorgeous brunette lady superhero without some more pics of her? So just for kicks, here’s a rare 1990’s Wonder Woman comic shop dealer promotional poster shown below that is currently available, featuring art by artist John Byrne. Just click on the promo poster picture for more info. More Wonder Woman merchandise is available at Supervator.com as well as in our eBay listings under the name “Supervator”.
Getting back to the subject at hand, DC Comics and the Warner Brothers movie franchise obviously could rake in the money hand over gloved fist if a Wonder Woman movie were made, written well, cast well, and promoted to the hilt. And we know from the past, the people at Warner’s know how to promote things, and promote them well. Heath Ledger as the Joker is one example, but it didn’t hurt to have Heath’s acting genius in the mix. Right now, Marvel Comics movies are “winning” the battle among comic superhero films, but Wonder Woman just might turn the tide for DC and have better mass appeal to both sexes than a male oriented guy like the Hulk that walks around yelling “Me smash”. Think of the merchandising for Wonder Woman products, the soundtrack sales, the toys, the Halloween costumes (well, maybe not), the action figures, t-shirt sales, the comic books, the posters, and on and on.

Well, I’ve got to go process a new order. Business calls again, but that’s what having a website is for, right? I’ll do one more quick minute of blogging to wrap this subject up. So in summary, what do YOU think, loyal blog readers? Want to see a Wonder Woman action film as badly as I do? And who would you put in the skin-tight, nearly nude red, blue, and yellow costume? Oh yeah, that brings up another quick point. Whenever they do get around to making a Wonder Woman film, unless you’re gonna make her totally naked, DON’T SCREW WITH HER COSTUME, all right?
Thanks a million for reading,
