Fox News have put Wonder Woman's redesigned duds under fire for being unpatriotic, with a good portion of the ol red white n blue having been removed from her costume. The fact that the characters fictional origin actually has her hailing from an island off Greece doesn't seem to have factored into their argument. Anyway, in an hilarious "quote" from a DC comic artist (who of course remains anonymous), they apparently reveal DC/WBs plans for a big screen outing for Wonder Woman, thanks Fox!..
"This new sleek and fashionable Wonder Woman will translate well to a film franchise centered on a female action hero. That wouldn’t have worked as well with the bright and flashy red, white and blue costume, and it definitely wouldn’t have played in the very lucrative international markets. The new Wonder Woman costume looks like something you could put on Angelina Jolie, or on one of the bad guys from the ‘Twilight’ saga."
LMAO. They go on to say:
Indeed a Wonder Woman movie is in development and slated for release in 2013.
Well, someone better tell Warner Bros! Their plans are being leaked all of the internet dammit!
As always, the funniest part of any Fox News article are the comment which follow it, here are some of the doozies..
"I dont think you idiot lefties get it… its just another really minor and obscure example of the trashing anything remotely american since Al Qaeda’s leader obama has taken office! The forces behind the destruction of america want to slowly erode patriotism just as they are slowly eroding our will against fascist islamist terrorists. Now we have a non patriotic wonder woman and a mosque built at ground zero… opening on sept. 11. Stupid americans.. at least 49% of you!"
"I don’t like the new costume. The new one has no appeal. Looks like something an anti-American might put together…"
"The thing I find interesting is that, in minimizing the more patriotic American symbols in her costume, like the stars and the eagle, they managed to leave the Communist red star on the her tiara untouched."
Yep. New Wonder Woman is a Communist doncha know? Might sell more comics I guess...
