Honestly, I think it's as big a deal, or bigger, that Allan (Young Avengers, Wonder Woman) Heinberg was the other writer. If anybody knows the comics version of the character its Johns and Heinberg.

Just curious, have you read Darkseid War? I thought he did a pretty good job with her there.

Yeah, Johns had a recent revelation about Diana and he started writing her darn well by the end of his JL run. He said he was drawing heavy inspiration from Perez and Jimenez. Originally Posted by Fuzzy Barbarian

Johns got bored of his warrior woman and wrote WW as a character in his latter half of JL :P Originally Posted by Fuzzy Barbarian

Not sure what to think about this, honestly. Heinberg's WW run isn't, if I recall correctly, remembered very fondly (if at all), and Johns has been hit-or-miss with the character. Also, they're working from a story that Snyder helped develop...
I'm still extremely interested in this movie (despite skipping BvS), but my enthusiasm is a little diminished after this news.What can I say but, "I love comics."

too much monologue, but much better than what he did before. But I don't consider him a good WW writer. Originally Posted by WhipWhirlwind

Wasn't the Heinberg run mostly about Donna Troy in the first 2 or 3 issues of the 6 issue arc? If so, how does that make him a Wondy expert if half his run was focusing on another character?

You're forgetting Patty Jenkins. It's her movie. Snyder has next to no involvement. Originally Posted by Tayswift

A couple of years ago Johns began communicating with Phil jimenez, and began exploring the thoughts of other writers to get at the heart of who Wonder Woman was. At least that's my understanding. I honestly think Geoff genuinely fell in love with the character and his writing of the character has reflected that. johns is immensely talented. I think we are going to get something really special. Can't wait for the first extended trailer!

Snyder laid out the story: Originally Posted by Vanguard-01

It is basically like how Nolan was to MoS, and that was very much still Snyder's baby. So it is no worry, not that anyone should be worried."Yes...Mondo Cool"- Vegeta.

Normally I'd be concerned about multiple writers being involved but seeing that it's Johns and Heinberg I'm actually encouraged.
Say what you will about Johns but he knows comics and while I didn't love Heinberg's arc I think the issues was more the timing of it as launching a new #1 and the use of the villain. The quality was there so I'm hoping it translates into the film.
My only concern is that Diana is described as 'leaving' the island which I hope is under the results of The Contest and they don't have her up and leave like on the JL animated series.
