Whedon speaks of upcoming 'Wonder Woman'

Joss Whedon has stated that Wonder Woman is in some ways similar to the work he has done in the past, such as Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
He told Australia's ABC Radio National: "We'll meet a Wonder Woman who is similar to the one from the original comics and from the TV series to an extent. Neither of them are really a template. I've never loved the comics and I didn't watch the television series, but I loved the character very much."
"She doesn't really understand this world, she's very strong but she's also very naive. She's not quite as little as the girls I'm used to writing, but she's definitely one of them in the sense of she'll undergo that kind of baptism of fire that used to be relegated to the male gender.
"She'll have to come into the world and see how corrupt it is and learn to deal with it and with her own powers. She is kind of, in a way, the grandma of everything I've been writing my whole life, so it makes sense that we should meet."
Whedon's Serenity, a movie reworking of his shortlived TV series Firefly, is due for release next month.
