Very sad to hear. Whatever your opinion of the 60s TV series, it's undeniable that Batman wouldn't be as popular as he is today without it.

Thank you, Mr. West, for bringing the character to...

This is just absurd. Marston himself based WW's looks and outfit on Vargas pinup girls, so sex appeal has been a part of her character from the beginning. Sure, some artists go too far, but it...

I've noticed the two Tim Burton/Michael Keaton films seem to be rarely discussed by Batfans, either in a positive or negative sense. I was just wondering what your opinion of these two films is.

I...

A word I see used far too often when discussing comic characters - and fictional characters in general - is the word "agency". This word, I believe, has been thrown around so much and in so many...

This is a fairly common saying in the comic industry. Do you agree with it?

I'd say that yes, I do. A change in writers can have a night-and-day effect on how I care about a character.

Edit:...

Hehe, Gal is a former pageant contestant. :p She won Miss Israel in 2004 and competed in Miss Universe. So she's certainly got the looks down for WW! :D

Maybe I've been watching too much porn, but that face reminds me of the look women have when they're about to,..... uhhhh, you know....:p

I think people are overestimating how muscular WW is typically shown to be. It's not like she's depicted as a roided-out female bodybuilder in the comics. Even real-life athletic women do not usually...

Gadot looks fine to me. I don't understand the criticism that she's too slender or not "big" enough. It's not like she's built like a roided-out female bodybuilder in the comics.

I'm guessing it's purely decorative. That's how capes on WW are usually treated in the comics. I remember reading an Elseworlds once that had a full-page spread of WW wearing such a cape, looking all...

Yeah, there's no way this'll be permanent. The biker outfit in the 90s, the JMS leather jacket/pants a few years ago, the mod outfit back in the 60s, all just temporary changes for publicity.

At...

Sigh, yet another misguided attempt to make female characters more "acceptable" by de-sexifying them.

I think we're putting the cart before the horse with all this talk about WW getting a sequel movie. Whether she'll get one depends on two things:

1. Whether BvS is considered a success.
2....

To get back to the general topic of this thread, one of my biggest concerns about WW in this film is the writers/producers will be overly paranoid about accusations of sexism regarding how they...

Some people just see WW in general as a female version of Superman with some Greek Mythology elements thrown in. If people are so biased to begin with when they see WW on the big screen then trying...

Also, throw me in with those hoping she has flight and no invisible plane. I've never been fond of that plane, mostly because I can't get the ridiculous image from Superfriends of WW flying through...

She only had a supporting role in JLU. Batman and Superman were the clear stars of that show. And of course, both had gotten animated series in their own right before that. The 2009 animated film was...

I'm one of those people. On the old forums, I made a thread arguing that the show did her more harm than good. However, it's more due to the fact that most non-comic readers know of WW solely through...

They're bringing back Donna Troy? Great, as if her backstory wasn't complicated enough already. One thing I thought New 52 did right was getting rid of characters that are basically screwed up beyond...

WW since New 52 is a huge improvement for me compared to the WW since COIE, and especially more so than the 70s TV series (which I loath). As for whether DC is specifically trying to make her more...

It depends on what women you're talking about. In the 40s and 50s, there weren't many female characters in comics, period. Lois Lane and Supergirl were fairly modest, while WW and Phantom Lady, as...

Yeah, that's a good point. We also see this with video games for the same reason. I think that's also part of why both comics and video games are more likely to get criticism for this sort of thing...

I've said time and again that there should be more well-written female characters. I agree with your claim about approaches. I apologize if I misconstrued what you were saying. However, I stand by...

Also, serious question for everyone here who found that Manara Spider-Woman cover offensive: If Marvel announced that they were withdrawing the cover due to the response, what would your reaction be?...

When a respected erotic artist is accused of making "misogynistic art" - with the unintended implication that fans of said art are misogynists themselves - then yes, I think some people are going to...
