Whedon Confirmed for Wonder Woman Source: Warner Bros. Pictures March 16, 2005
Silver Pictures, producer of the revolutionary, $3 billion-grossing "Matrix" franchise, has signed Joss Whedon, creator of the phenomenally popular Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series, to write and direct the feature film action adventure Wonder Woman based on the DC Comics character. The announcement was made today by Jeff Robinov, President of Production, Warner Bros. Pictures.
"We are excited about working with Joss," Robinov said. "He brings great energy and creativity to the process. His work on Buffy makes him uniquely qualified to handle the Wonder Woman character."
"There's no one better than Joss to adapt the legendary Wonder Woman comic book character created in the 1940s into a dynamic feature film for 21st century audiences," producer Joel Silver added. "Wonder Woman was the first great female superhero to emerge from comic books and later inspire millions of fans in her television incarnation, but unlike her counterparts Batman and Superman, this groundbreaking heroine has yet to be reinvented for the feature film arena."
"Wonder Woman is the most iconic female heroine of our time, but in a way, no one has met her yet," Whedon said. "What I love most about icons is finding out what's behind them, exploring the price of their power. When Joel and I began discussing the character, I realized there is a woman behind the legend who is very fascinating, very uncompromising, and in her own way, almost vulnerable. She's someone who doesn't belong in this world, and since everyone I know feels that way about themselves, the character clicked for me."
Whedon created and executive produced the hit television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which ran for seven seasons on The WB and UPN, based on his screenplay for the 1992 feature film of the same name. Whedon also created and executive produced the successful Buffy spin-off series Angel, and wrote the screenplays for the films Toy Story and Alien: Resurrection. He is currently completing post-production on the feature film Serenity, which he wrote and directed based on his television series FireflyOh, the insanity...

Wonder Woman Costume News Source: pimpernel March 20, 2005
The new issue of Entertainment Weekly has a bit on Joss Whedon writing and directing Wonder Woman and mentions what the costume will NOT look like:
A "Marvel boy," Joss Whedon never really connected with rival house DC Comics' Wonder Woman, but now the guy's madly in love with her and is gonna write and direct Warner Bros.' long delayed feature! "She represents something absolutely pure," says the Buffy creator, who says his Amazon will not, repeat not, wear "star-spangled panties" a la Lynda Carter's TV incarnation. Whedon now sees it as a match made in fanboy heaven. "When I was mulling this over, my friend said, 'Joss, look at your freakin' resume. You have two things on it: wonder and woman. That's all you write!'"
I always wondered about the costume.

well this movie will probably suck but heres what the costume looks like usually.
its a kind of one piece swimsuit kind of thing that shows off her muscles and legs, true its always been the stars and stripes for some reason even though she's an amazoness and not a calafornian which doesnt make sense, here bracelets are a main part of her outfit and so is the truth telling lasso which i find corny, i like the idea that some sculptures of her portray her as a busty supermodel type wearing a suit that's so tight it shows her bustyness and a thong just tops off the deal.
but to make it worthy for kids they'll probably go for the traditional costume you see in the comics or in the series with less cleavage
