Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

MAKE A SINGLE CLEAR STORY. You're writers. Throw something together.

Wonder Woman is more famous than Iron Man or Captain America was. She sustained a TV show that many boys (and more than zero girls) pubesced watching.

Pick a story. Don't leave out too much--lets have Amazons and a pantheon and Themyscira. She might be part of the DC trifecta, but I'd wager more people know Supes is an alien who works as a reporter and Batman's parents are dead. For them it's a big deal. Look at what the Perez-drawn reboot did. Why can't that version be made into a movie, even without using any of her Men's World stories from then, just the way he scrubbed up the backstory for a reboot?

Give her an adventure, don't be chicken about mentioning feminism and having a woman fighter and leader. That should not be so hard in 2013.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

He seems to be of the opinion that everything since her original run is wrong/bad/untrue to the character. (Though he seems to have no issues with the fact that Batman and Superman have been reinvented over the years as well.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I was hoping to find him! But, alas, maybe next year. Some great costumes in that video, like the Walking Dead crew, the Metal Gear Solid codec, and the Tetris girls!

Okay, this is one impressive Cyborg cosplay. [link]

Someone just walked me through the Phoenix Five. I like when the text embraces Cyclops-as-douche instead of trying to retcon it away.

So I watched the premier of Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. I feel like I lost some IQ points in the process. What the hell has happened to Paul Dini!?

That's a shame, Tom. I remember seeing the series announced, liking the cast and that Dini was onboard and thinking it could be good despite the concept. Apparently not.
