WW maybe set in the 1920's.

[KRYPTON INC.]

rumor alert (imagine sirens and flashing red lights, lol): another tidbit i heard is the man that visits PI in the 20's will be none other than WW's creator Marston himself...and he begins writing about Diana/WW as if she is real. So the WW comics would've existed in this DC Verse all along, with nobody realizing it was all true. Wow! Reminds me of how the novel Interview With The Vampire actually existed in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, penned by the reporter who interviewed Lestat.

Marston featured prominently in the first WW solo film? Could be quite an interesting twist. t:

That honestly sounds all kinds of awful to me MM, and really sounds like the worst kind of fan fiction.

 

[Bwahaha!]

Oh, I don't know. Like anything else, it depends on execution. Could be awful, could be amazing. And it likely won't happen, it's only a rumor, not even the level of rumor of the 1920s thing on Bleeding Cool.

If this is so, I'll pass. Just thinking about it bores me.

Off the top of my head? Medusa, Ares, Deimos, Circe, Felix Faust or Hades.

But since it's set in the 20s, gangsters is something that is just bound to be included. Why else would it be set in that era?
Try imagine a WWII film without any connection or mentioning of the war.

But I believe Ares will have a finger in the game. As it takes places between two world wars, the god could have an agenda to once and for all be the ruler of our world. Maybe Hades is in on this too.

I'm not sure that the two of them go that well together. Could it be that Ares in turn is Hades' puppet? The god of the underworld is more powerful than the god of war, and could destroy him if he wanted to.

WW in the roaring twenties?

Very cool time to introduce an immortal to the decadence of man's world ( and hopefully not just 'men').

Villains can be the same as the present day considering most are immortal. Some of her more old-school villains might actually fit better in the 20s than present day.

The crazy island/20s split also reminds me of King Kong. It also reminds when I used to fancast the girl from Great Gatsby as Diana.

WW2 as the darker middle chapter would be fitting too.

I never said gangsters would not be included. You asked what else she could fight? I gave several examples.

Personally I don't believe this rumor at all.

However if you wanted to include Ares and Hades, it's more likely Ares who gains power from the conflict of war has amassed enough to seize control of the Underworld from Hades. An angry Hades puts his own plan in motion to get his domain back. The war between them will destory half the Earth unless can restore the balance.

 

[Bwahaha!]

I doubt it'll be an hour-and-a-half of fighting amongst Amazons. But I'd love the first half to feature Themyscira. I get chills to think of PI explored in a way that gets moviegoers very familiar with the beautiful, mystical, scary aspects of island, plus Amazon history, religious practices and culture. All steeped in ancient Greek tradition and mythos. Hopefully they show how the Amazons came to be, their daily/nightly life, warrior training (Ares secretly training a young Diana?) and Amazons guarding a great evil followed by palace intrigue, seeds of an Amazon military coup. Then a man arrives, with some Amazons wanting to execute him and Diana wanting to save him, which leads to all out war among vying Amazon factions. No idea if it'll play out this way but my point is Themyscira landscape and architecture and culture and politics and spirituality could be fascinating to see.

I also don't think Diana will be involved in leading women's suffrage movement. She'll just travel to man's world around the time women finally get right to vote and observe the unfair sexist world around her. I'm sure she'll speak out and take appropriate action whenever possible, yet I don't see her attending feminist political meetings or holding signs at protest events. But yeah, nice contrast to an island nation where women rule vs the wide world where women are second class citizens.

The other thing about the 20's..it's the global leadup to the first World War. If Ares is involved, it makes sense.

????? U mean fallout?

Yeah, I'd really like to see Diana actively trying to prevent a second World War. A scene that has her watch Hitler rising to power in Germany (Ares pulling Hitler's strings?) would be intriguing, and of course would lead into the sequel set in WW2 1940s (if any of this rumor is true, lol).

What I really want is Warner Bros to choose a vision for the WW solo films and stick to it, regardless of geeks lighting their hair on fire across the net.

If it's explained that Hitler was a puppet of Hades and Ares, will that be too disrespectful to the casualties of WW2? Hitler was very real and his actions can't be explained by magic and gods.. It may rub people the wrong way. Perhaps ares and hades only benefited from Hitlers actions. I don't think they should be directly responsible

It has a good chance of doing just that. For some other kinds of projects or genres making Hitller the puppet of some other force might fly, but for a super hero movie I think you would hear a lot of out cry.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I think so too, it's a cool idea but it'll offend a lot of people I think.

If they can find a way to connect Ares to Hitler without being offensive, then they go for it

 

[Bwahaha!]

Never considered anyone might get offended if a superhero movie showed an evil force (Ares) controlling Hitler. Maybe some people would.

Now you've got me curious. I have a good friend who happens to be Jewish, even does volunteer work for the Museum of Tolerance (holocaust museum). I'll have to ask her perspective on something like this. Very interesting to contemplate.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I think it's kinda offensive and I'm not Jewish. It just sort of downplays Hitler's actions if they're explained away by him being controlled by an evil god..

It's a cool idea, and one i liked before i actually started thinking about hard about it. Hitler and Ares can be involved, but i think it's best if Hitler isn't controlled or influenced by anyone

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I think there is a way to involve supernatural/fantasy forces without making Hitler a puppet. You can go with the idea of WWII's outbreak empowering Ares or Ares working behind the scenes to stop any peaceful resolution because he's feeding on the conflict.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I think the first movie should be set right before the start of WW2

Yep krypton, that works perfectly. I love the idea of a more supernatural WW2, there's a lot that can be explored there. It's something that Indiana Jones touched on a bit, but Wonder Woman could take it a step further. It would actually make sense to even show Nazi zombies in the movie if it's set in that era.

Hades could have an army of undead Nazis for Wonder Woman to fight, and it could be exceptionally gory and brutal

The villains of that Wonder Woman animated movie were Hades and Ares, i'd love to see those two as the villains of a live action movie as well, and it'd fit PERFECTLY with a WW2 plotline

For the modern sequel, Ares could return (but would remain mostly in the shadows) and Cheetah would be the main villain

 

[Bwahaha!]

Love the idea of WW fighting Nazis, love that the Nazis would be supernatural even more. Kudos!

 

[Rorschach2012]

How awesome would that be? Wonder Woman going around chopping the limbs and heads off Nazi zombies

They shouldn't hold back on the violence, the animated movie featured lots of blood and beheadings, it fits with the character, and should remain for the movie

Yes, I truly think this is a clever way to include the Nazis without being the same oi'. Plus, at WW's current power level (assuming she is not powered down by Snyder)...the Nazis need to be something more than mere super-soldiers; they require a supernatural angle. Some version of zombies is perfect, plus they're beating the zeitgeist pulse right now so maybe they'll still be popular in 2017.

Wouldn't surprise me if Walking Dead is still going strong by then, that show can reinvent itself each season unlike any other. Also, now that I think about it, I'd really love to see some straight up horror mixed into WW's fantasy elements. Azz described his run in the beginning as basically a horror novel featuring WW, and he's one of my all-time favs.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Hell ya dude that sounds awesome , I think Wonder Woman would totally benefit from a mild horror vibe. There should be gore, magic and monsters. They shouldn't hold back on the monsters. I think Guillermo Del Toro would be perfect for this, you just know the creature designs would be insane.

Horror inspired visuals sounds good.
Batman would benefit from that too, Arkham Asylum: ASHOSE was a Batman horror story, and I think that should be a primary visual influence for the next series

Green Lantern also benefits from a space horror vibe. His enemies have the potential to be terrifying. I hope the GL film has visuals inspired by Alien and Prometheus, mixed with the scope and grandness of the original Star Wars trilogy

Wonder Woman set in the 30s/40s could be inspired by Indiana Jones mixed with dark, horror inspired visuals for WW's enemies

A WW movie set in that era has sooo much potential, I really hope that happens

Hitler was always into the occult. Could be that he had one of his spiritual advisers, Baroness Von Gunther, make a pact with Ares.

Hitler doesn't need to be a puppet of Ares, but that doesn't mean he can't seek out Ares as an ally.

 

[Airwings]

This could definately be something new to the genre.

Wonder Woman as somewhat of a horror movie?!

Hitler making a pact with Ares?!

Lots of terrifying creatures and monsters, similar to demons?!

Wonder Woman fighting zombies?!

Nerdgasm all over the place. I would be so amazed while watching the film, I would not be able to hold on to my candy.

I believe Hitler also studied to be a Christian pastor early on, so his spiritual beliefs were all over the map. Not surprising. What a psychopath. The more I think about it, if there's even a chance people would be offended if Hitler were outright controlled by Ares (implying the film gives Hitler a pass), they shouldn't go in that direction. This movie, starring a Jewish actress, doesn't need groups protesting over allegedly sympathizing with Hitler. But absolutely make Hitler a willing acolyte, praying to Ares as other devotees pray to their god(s). And yes, def play up his occultic beliefs.

Nazi zombies. Hades, yeah!
