Check out this poster for the upcoming Wonder Woman animated direct to DVD movie. The flick stars Keri Russell (Wonder Woman) and Nathan Fillion (Steve Rogers Trevor) and will be an origin story.
DC has announced the Kurt Busiek/Mark Bagley Trinity series will debut with 40-pages instead of the normal 22, while still keeping the $2.99 price.
Busiek, Bagley and inker Art Thibert write and illustrate the lead stories for this series, which begins by exploring the unusual bond — and importance — of DC’s top three characters, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, as a mysterious dream links them together and may prophesy important changes in their trinity!
If you thought Final Crisis was the next weekly series from DC, guess again - Trinity will be spinning weekly tales of the big three, as well as backup stories featuring other prominent players in this year long storyline.

If Playboy has their way I’m sure it would happen. But is it such a big deal? I mean take a look at an Hughes, Grant, Horn, or other cheesecake artist and tell me those costumes aren’t painted on. Pink Raygun seems to have a problem with it, though…
So, Wonder Woman finally gets a female writer after sixty years in existence (and manages to get some favorable real-world press as well) and Playboy follows up on that meme by painting a naked chick who couldn’t survive more than a week on The Celebrity Apprentice. Wonder how Gail Simone feels about that. And I wonder where DC/Warner stands on the issue, or are we to expect a naked, body-painted Batman on Playgirl in the months leading up to this Summer’s Dark Knight?
According to Fallon’s MySpace page, she is Wonder Woman.
Take the jump for some definitely NOT SAFE FOR WORK (NSFW) images from the issue.
Aaron Lopresti signed an exclusive contract with DC back in November, and now we learn he will be the artist on Gail Simone’s Wonder Woman beginning with issue #20.
The offer came about two weeks later and I just could not turn down working on not only one of the DC icons but a pop culture icon as well. Now I can actually have a conversation with someone outside of comics and they will actually have heard of the character I’m drawing.
Can’t wait to see how Simone’s writing and Lopresti’s art mesh.
According to Moviehole, Teresa Palmer has been offered the role of Wonder Woman in the George Miller Justice League film. This follows the rumor that Rupert Evans will be playing Superman.
Reports have this movie being all action, but with a much younger team of heroes in the early points of their careers. This has made many people wonder why not do a Teen Titans flick, but if you consider more people know Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Batman and Superman, than cyborg, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, and Robin, then you can kind of see the direction Warner Bros. is going.
Rumors also point to Maxwell Lord, OMACs, and the death of Barry Allen as key points in the story.
You know those guys that hang out on Hollywood Boulevard in superhero costumes so you can take pictures? Turns out there is a documentary about them, directed by Matt Ogens.
Pic chronicles the alternately poignant and amusing paths of the struggling actors who pay the bills by playing superheroes on Hollywood Boulevard. Central characters are Batman, Superman, the Hulk and Wonder Woman.
Now there’s a crossover you probably didn’t expect to see…
The film will screen at AFI in October.
Variety is reporting Jessica Biel is in talks to play the Amazonian Warrior in the Justice League of America film. Guess this means yesterday’s rumor is just another rumor.
But what of Superman, Batman, the Flash, and Aquaman?
…the film’s likelihood hinges on the studio’s ability to assemble a cast of superheroes in a small window of time. Christian Bale and Brandon Routh — Warner’s reigning Batman and Superman, respectively — are not expected to join the production.
Instead of announcing the roles as they are cast, the studio will announce the entire cast at once.
So for now, guess we’re playing the waiting game. My guess is we won’t have to wait long, the film is expected to begin shooting in February 2008.
Moviehole.net is reporting that actress Victoria Hill has auditioned for the role of Wonder Woman in the George Miller helmed Justice League of America.
Hill’s surfing a wave of victory at the moment – she starred in, co-wrote and produced Geoffrey Wright’s “Macbeth” and followed that up with roles in the recent Aussie films “BoyTown”, “Hunt Angels” and “December Boys”. The actress, who is now represented by UTA in the states, is not only beautiful but she’s insanely talented too – so I’m sure if she did get the gig to play ‘Wonder Woman’, fans wouldn’t be picketing.
To be honest, I know nothing about this actress. She is pretty, but I don’t think she has the look to pull off Wonder Woman.
JLA is being fast tracked for a 2009 release.
Well I didn’t think the series was that bad, but because it was strung out for so long, I did lose interest. The big reveal at the end did have me wondering “WTF?” After all, unless you knew there was a big New Gods story coming down the pipe, a reader could be seriously messed up. And there is the little matter of knowing who Granny Goodness is in the first place - something many new readers of DC comics might not know about. I give the series 2.5 out of 5 Stars, but that is nothing compared to the beating series writer Will Pfeifer is taking over at his blog site.
So what did you think of Amazons Attack?

DC Comics announced the creative team of Gail Simone, Terry and Rachel Dodson will not debut, as intended, with Wonder Woman #13, but instead will kick off their run starting with Wonder Woman #14.
Instead, WONDER WOMAN #13 will feature a story by J. Torres with art by Julian Lopez & Bit and a cover by Terry Dodson & Rachel Dodson. In this issue, the war with the Amazons may be over, but the wounds haven’t even begun to heal. Wonder Woman has her hands full with anti-Amazon sentiment in America, much of it targeted toward Wonder Girl! When it comes to hate and fear, even a magic lasso can only do so much!
According to Senior Editor Matt Idelson, the one month push allows Terry Dodson to catch up on a few other commitments first.
I’m sure fans are going to be slightly miffed they don’t get the Simone Wonder Woman for another month, but I have feeling, once it starts, it is going to rock.

Superman - Doomsday is set for a September release, with New Frontier and Teen Titans: The Judas contract soon to follow. According to a supposed leaked internal memo, Warner Bros. Animation will bet taking on Wonder Woman and Batman next.
The Batman movie is said to be a compilation of six Batman stories told in an anime style. The PG-13 DVD will be targeted toward hard core fans (aka me), and the tween market and will tell tales of Batman between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. According to the images, David Goyer, Brian Azzarello, and Josh Olsen are contributing stories. Batman Anime should be released 2 to 4 weeks before The Dark Knight.
Wonder Woman will be an origin story. Primary target audience is Men and Women 18+ and girls 9-17. Wonder Woman will also be a PG-13 animated movie, with a late 2008, early 2009 release expected.
G4 could be A LOT better. This clip of Olivia Munn as Wonder Woman is on the right track - sorta.
Death of a New God
Last week readers got a few clues into the mystery of Jimmy Olsen, Mary Batson stumbled upon a repowered Black Adam, Stinky made the other Monitors angry, and Karate Kid continued to hang out in a JLA cell. So what becomes of our key characters this week?
