Whedon plans to explain 'Wonder Woman'

Joss Whedon has suggested that his Wonder Woman will do for the character what Batman Begins did for the Dark Knight.

He told Sci Fi Wire: "What's exciting is, like, Batman Begins basically really did a wonderful job explaining exactly why he was a bat and why he had everything on his costume that he did.

"That's the joy of doing an origin story of Wonder Woman. Why does she wear the bracelets? Why does she use the lasso? Like, where does all that stuff come from? And I have answers for all of that, and it's really fun."

"It's not a reinvention like, 'Oh, she's going to dress like [the Matrix's] Trinity'. I want to see Wonder Woman as I know her and see her, not star-spangled panties."

Produced by Joel Silver and Leonard Goldberg, the movie will be released in 2007.
