Wonder Woman Begins
Joss Whedon has been talking to Sci Fi Wire about his next film, Wonder Woman.
The writer/director would like to follow the lead of Batman Begins and do an origins story, making sure fans get what they want: the costume, the bracelets, the lasso, maybe even the invisible jet.
“What’s exciting is, like, Batman Begins basically really did a wonderful job explaining exactly why he was a bat and why he had everything on his costume that he did,” Whedon said in an interview. “That’s the joy of doing an origin story of Wonder Woman. Why does she wear the bracelets? Why does she use the lasso? Like, … where does all that stuff come from? … And I have answers for all of that, and it’s really fun. So it’s not a reinvention like, ‘Oh, she’s going to dress like Trinity [from The Matrix].’”
“I want to see Wonder Woman as I know her and see her, [and] not … [just her] star-spangled panties. But she wears the Wonder Woman outfit, and she has the bracelets and all the accoutrements. … The lasso and, if I can make it work for the plot, the invisible plane. I have a take on it that I think is cool. It’s just I’m structuring the plot, and I’ve got to find a place for it. But I think people want it, and I think I can do it without … it being campy, believe it or not. And I respect those things. I, in fact, love them.”
