I have to agree with cage. My perception of most of the superheroes was drawn (there's a pun there, I can feel it) on what I was exposed to as a hormone raging teen. Zatana and Wonder Woman (and let's face it, most heroines) were both drawn voluptuous and had very feminine qualities to them. The fact that they are drawing these characters and trying to portray them onscreen in an attempt to not offend someone actually offends me. Why not leave things alone?Just the longevity of the characters should speak for itself. I do contend there have been a lot of costume changes to WW over time, but the first time they brought her successfully to the screen (Linda Carter), she was in the above rendered costume.
DC is trying to move too fast with the Justice League in my very humble, often ignored opinion. They got onboard too late to catch up to the Marvel machine. This movie better exceed a lot of expectations or it will fall flat on it's face. There is a lot of ground to cover in the span of one movie. I fear the story will move too fast, and we will come away feeling unsatisfied at the very least. Or worse, it will be a two hour long story that never seems to get anywhere. I am both anxious to see if they can pull it off, and cautious that it might not meet expectations.
There was a story that came out that Ben Affleck is already having problems on set with his costume. It's too tight, too constrictive and he is having problems breathing in it. Seems they went the route of the Keaton suit and made the cowl and cape a single piece. So he will have to twist his trunk to turn his head. While I was no fan of the Dark Knight suit that Christian Bale wore, it did make more sense.
We will see...
If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
