Good point. I heard some dismaying reports printed that Joss had not even started writing the script, but, and maybe this is a reaction to that news, I have now read that he has, indeed, handed in a script, so it seems like this film may just end up panning out.

Another angle that has just occurred to me in regards to not going overboard in changing the costume is that the film has the potential of being the introduction to the character for a new generation of possible fans. Do we really want to have the (possibly) only film adaption represent nothing of the image the rest of us grew up with? I am trying to remember my first introduction to Wonder Woman, and I think it was either the Wonder Woman television (live action) series, or Super Friends. I am leaning towards the Super Friends cartoon because I remember my sister getting the Super Powers action figure of her at the same point that I got a Superman figurine....good old fist-pumping action.

I remember being really annoyed that Wonder Woman could not be the one dating Superman instead of Lois Lane....and, for the life of me, I still cannot figure out why it was so damn important to me back then.

To explore that angle further, does anyone remember what was the first comic book you read with her in it? I would need to thumb through my collection, because I am pretty sure it may still be in storage.
