Today’s “Wonder Woman” Q&A … meet the ever-humble Alfred Molina, voice of Ares, the God of War …
Warner Bros. Animation, DC Comics, and Warner Premiere have announced the upcoming Wonder Woman animated movie will have a big screen premiere at the New York Comic Con on February 6, 2009. The event will take place at 8:30 PM at the IGN Theater at the Javits Center.

Andrea Romano, arguably the best known casting/dialogue director on the animation scene today, brings the voices of yet another DC Universe animated original film to life with “Wonder Woman.” Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation are set to release the all-new film on March 3, 2009, as distributed by Warner Home Video. The action-packed movie will also be available OnDemand and Pay-Per-View as well as available for download day and date, March 3, 2009.
“Wonder Woman” is the fourth DC Universe film in the ongoing series, and Romano has returned – after the first three successful ventures – to cast and direct the likes of Keri Russell, Nathan Fillion, Alfred Molina, Virginia Madsen, Oliver Platt and Rosario Dawson. In an industry that once treated voiceovers with the anonymity of the witness protection plan, Romano has become a household name to legions of animation fans. Just name a show – “Animaniacs” or “Smurfs,” “Batman: The Animated Series” and any of Warner Bros. Animation’s super hero series – and fans shout “Andrea Romano” in their beloved credits roll call in harmony with names like “Bruce Timm” and “Alan Burnett.”
In which Genocide walks the Earth
The DCU experienced a year without Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, and since the One Year Later return, things have not been so good. Superman got his powers back, only to discover he is no longer the last son of Krypton thanks to the New Krypton story line. Batman went on a spiritual journey in which he killed Batman, returned as Batman, only to “die” in the pages of the R.I.P. arc and Final Crisis (two different titles to kill Batman? That’s one bad S.O.B.). Now it’s Wonder Woman’s turn to experience the one thing that might be here undoing – Genocide.
After her successful co-directorial debut on “Superman Doomsday,” Lauren Montgomery takes full command of the helm for “Wonder Woman,” the next entry in the popular series of DC Universe animated original PG-13 films. Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation are set to release the all-new film on March 3, 2009, distributed by Warner Home Video. The animated original movie will also be available OnDemand and Pay-Per-View as well as available for download day and date, March 3, 2009.
Montgomery has directed an origin story for “Wonder Woman” that remains true to the title character’s various incarnations while setting the tale in more modern times to allow greater accessibility for a wider audience. Working alongside producer Bruce Timm, Montgomery has brought to life Michael Jelenic’s entertaining script with an impressive balance of explosive action and well-timed humor. A talented artist with a lifetime of experience devoted to drawing and animation, Montgomery is proud to give Wonder Woman her first feature film treatment.

Or – “Three Weeks Of Comics In Handy Bite-Sized Servings!”
A side-effect of reading as many comics as I do comes when, after a particulary heavy week of reads, you find all the stories kind of blurring together into one. It makes for some pretty entertaining nightmares as well, like the one where Wonder Woman was guarding the galaxy against marauding zombies who wanted to shape-shift into teenagers and make out while simultaneously refitting all of our cars to fly and emit fire, and also giving our grandparents cyborg limbs that glow in the dark. So, I got that going for me… which is nice.

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.
