Joss Whedon, recently selected to helm the upcoming "Wonder Woman" film, said he intends the character back to her roots according to an interview with cable skein VH-1.
"Originally, I was hesitant but then it's also sort of why I became really interested, because she doesn't have so much baggage for me, the way, say, Spider-Man would" said Whedon who plans to explore her Amazon princess back story - "I think she sort of sprang out fully formed, much like Athena herself. In the '40s, when it was first done, she came to the world from Paradise Island and then went about her business, and so that experience, which is really a rite of passage, the same as any hero has to go through, has never really been investigated the way I want."
His plans are to take the material quite seriously, "I'm not going to do anything silly. There's a reason why she has those bracelets. There's a reason why she's got the lasso. I think it's going to work out really well." He made no mention of an invisible plane.
Thanks to 'Mike'.
