Kimberly Kane as Wonder woman
Kimberly Kane as Wonder woman
With the successful reboot of superman with Man of Steel, more and more folks are quietly hoping for a possible justice league film or even a reboot of Wonder woman. Outside of the iconic 70's tv show, Wonder woman has had problems being adapted to screen. To underscore this, just look at the adult parody of wonder woman with adult film star Kimberly Kane and compare it to Adrianne Palicki's wonder woman in the unsold pilot by David Kelly. Kimberly Kane looks very much like Wonder Woman if it was a big budget screen adaption, whereas Adrianne Palicki looks like she got costumed at the local halloween express. It points to the problem of rebooting the amazon princess to the big screen. Few movie studios are willing to invest in a big budget Wonder Woman reboot.
Quietly adult entertainment has exploded with its fairly faithful adaptions of comic book franchises. You could argue the sex subtext was there in the comics from the beginning, and changed to reflect society's ever changing mores.
Perhaps with more adaptions sticking closer to the source material, and the general success of such adaptions, there may be a new influx of comic book heroes green lit by the studios in the near future, and possibly with more obscure characters out there.
