Whedon Walks Off Wonder Woman

Bad news this week for the Wonder Woman movie. Joss Whedon stepped down from his position as screenwriter and would-be director. He explains everything over on Whedonesque but the gist is that he was having some difficulty with it, he and the studio had different visions for the film, and it was a mutual decision for him to move on.

Of course, we know Whedon has several other things lined up we can look forward to (Runaways, Buffy), but I think that was the last chance the movie had at being any good. Not to mention the last last chance at having a Wonder Woman that women will like.

Although I will say its interesting that they've already picked up another script and it has Wonder Woman set during World War II. (Whedon's was present day) Since I've always kinda wanted them to remake Superman as a period movie around when he was created, this might be worth looking at.

Similiarly, Batman Begins writer David S Goyer's script for The Flash movie got dumped too. eh.
