Who gave Joel Silver carte blanche to reinvent Wonder Woman? Shouldn't Warner be more protective of its franchises?

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It'd be funny if Wonder Woman spent all her time staking vampires....

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Right. The path of "reinvention" ends up at Catwoman, people. Don't you learn anything??
I saw Abre los ojos over the weekend, and it was one of those movies that seems like a happy ending, until you think about it, and it's actually sort of the opposite of what you thought at first. Cool, though.

Brian Cox lost weight and his voice changed? ?Wha?
I didn't realize he was on the verge of puberty.
His is a far more resonant and rich voice than any of the other actors listed. That's too bad.

Was Catwoman reinvented or reimagined? 'Cuz there's a difference (although at the moment I don't remember what it is).

Reinvented implies that a rational thought process was at work. Reimagined implies the use of hallucinogenic drugs.

And Joel Silver created the Trinity character in the Matrix flicks.
Huh.
The Wachowski brothers must be so grateful to him.
eta: That's a perfect semantic distinction Tom.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
His is a far more resonant and rich voice than any of the other actors listed.
I am in love with the man's voice, but Sean Bean can give his profundity a run for its money.
Sean is in the Jodie Foster movie! I'm so all over that!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yeah, ita, I saw that trailer. Looked damn good, huh?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Eh - both of Tim Burton's Batman movies reinvented everyone's origin to a certain extent. I'm not too concerned about that (especially if it lets Joss cast, say, Gina Torres - not that I'm holding out a lot of hope for that).
