Quote: Maxim:A while back, you were attached to a Wonder Woman movie with Eliza(Dushku) as the rumored star. Is that project dead ? Or is it just dead so far as your involvement ? Whedon:I have no idea the status of the movie and, honestly, I never did. I was told they were very anxious to make it. I wrote a script. I rewrote the story. And by the time I’d written the second script, they asked me…not to. [Laughs] They didn’t tell me to leave, but they showed me the door and how pretty it was. Would I like to touch the knob and maybe make it swing ? I was dealing with them through [producer] Joel Silver who couldn’t tell me what they wanted or anything else. I was completely in the dark. So I didn’t know what it was that I wasn’t giving them. I’ve moved on. Maxim:As a comic book writer and fan, why do you think—with one very big exception—DC Comics is having such a hard time getting its characters on the screen while Marvel is churning them out ? Whedon:Because, with that one big exception, DC’s heroes are from a different era. They’re from the era when they were creating gods. And the thing that made Marvel extraordinary was that they created people. Their characters didn’t living in mythical cities, they lived in New York. They absolutely were a part of the world. Peter Parker’s character was a tortured adolescent. DC’s characters, like Wonder Woman and Superman and Green Lantern, were all very much removed from humanity. Batman was the only character they had who was so rooted in pain, that had that same gift that the Marvel characters had, which was that gift of humanity that we can relate to.

Quote:Originally posted by DREAMTROVE: I always had a serious problem with Superman, and it was the topic of my senior paper for honors in history, which may sound odd, but it for WWI, and the idea was a prevalent one. My basic beef was not any objection to Nietzche, or Shaw, or Siegel and Shuster, but that the fact that Superman's values coincided with our own was just sheer random chance, and he might have just as easily landed in the neighbor's yard, instead of Ma and Pa Kent, and could have ended up a total psychopath instead. Superman on the warpath. Or just been a racist. It's somewhat humorous to think of Superman dotting about the global and segregating restaurants. Or Superman with OCD, assuring that everyone is matching the dress code.
