Another week of people writing about Wonder Woman
dcwomenkickingass:
And, as usual, some of the people involved don’t really seem to know about Wonder Woman.
EOnline has an article that discusses why Wonder Woman can’t get a movie made. As it fulfilled my Elektra/Catwoman rule* in the second graph, it cannot be taken seriously. And the comments are …oh here’s one:
Simply put, there isn’t very many good female superhero comic books out ...
