Except that it will likely be a straight to DVD release, rather than a theatrical release, as with most recent DC animated movies. And I'd argue that many DC properties, especially Wonder Woman, are worthy of the theatrical animated movie treatment--just as much as all the Disney princesses or the Lego characters.

I hope it starts from scratch and has nothing to do with that 2009 movie.

I 100% agree, as long as it doesn't feel the need to explore WW's origins yet again. I want to see a straight-up adventure with an established Wonder Woman. I've always felt The Hiketeia would make a great animated film, and it would include Batman since that's all the animators seem to care about these days.

They could just quickly retell the origin as part of the credits and then keep it moving.

'Except that?" I wouldn't really expect otherwise. They are all straight to video.

Sounds like it. i hope it's not old 52 either,

If they're going to adapt a classic story, then I'd nominate either The Hiketeia or League of One. Both great standalone stories. Both really showcase Diana's complexity as a character.

Yes, for Brett's sake, I will say that if they go with League of One, perhaps they should alter the story so that the dragon doesn't begin attacking until AFTER Diana has neutralized the other Leaguers!

Happy now, Brett?

That's cool.

It took a while ... but ... better late than never

The Medusa arc from Rucka's first run could make a decent animated movie, as well. Hell, even Azz's run wouldn't be a bad choice for an adaptation, provided they refined a few of its more divisive aspects and gave Diana a more active role in events.

I just hope they don't use that horrid outfit the have stuck her in in the last several Justice League animated movies.

[Lex Luthor]

The Circle would be the best choice for a pre existing storyline since it includes her origin but its not an origin story but Id also like just a nice new story set in mans world and she deals with someone from her classic rogue gallery and her supporting cast(i.e JUSTICE FOR ETTA)

[Agent 86]

I hope that it's based on "League of One".

It includes Batman and Superman which should make DC happy (since they love showcasing those characters, especially Batman), but it's still very much a Wonder Woman story which demonstrates her values, intelligence and many skills. It's also a relatively straightforward and simple storyline, so it would work well for an animated film. The "villain" is also one that can shine in animation.

As long as it's not an origin, I might check it out.

I think the Hiketeia would be a great choice for the DCEU. The thought of Gadot and Affleck acting it out makes me salivate.

Hiketeia would allow them to market the story as a BATMAN vs Wonder Woman movie, though I personally don't care for the story itself.
