So come on in and enjoy the show with us.

So some of you may be wondering where we’ve been the last couple weeks. Well a fair question, truth be told Holidays got in the way, then after that a few of us had some trouble getting our hands on the homework, which was, if you recall, the first trade of the Mod Wonder Woman. But this week a new issue comes out and so will a new episode. We will be reviewing the last two issues of Wonder Woman as well as Wonder Girl one shot that just came out. Then jump into homework. No Questions this month, but send them in for next month and you will have them answered. Sorry for the delay but we are back in full swing.

This past SDCC, Saturday to be exact. A rumor appeared online. Claiming that DC/WB was going to announce a Wonder Woman film, to be written and directed by David Goyer of Blade and Batman Begins writing fame. Well that’s all it ended up being, a rumor. Never happened. Another con goes by and no news on a Wonder Woman movie. But this got me thinking, who should make the Wonder Woman movie when it eventually happens? I think Goyer is a good to great writer, but his directing has never amazed me. So who’s my dream team? Who are the film makers I’d love to see be announced as the director for Wonder Woman? Let’s take a look

8. Danny Boyle

Danny Boyle may be one of the most exciting director’s working today. The main reason being, that he never does the same film twice. Boyle has played in pretty much every genre, from horror with “28 Days Later”, to Sci-Fi with “Sunshine”, Drama with “Slum dog Millionaire” and even children’s films with “Millions”. But the man has yet to make a super hero movie. And I’d love to see him make “Wonder Woman.”

Boyle has a very in your face style, often going with the hand held cam to shoot action scenes. But it can be argued that he is one of the best if not the best at it. The films feel visceral rather then headache inducing, the movement feels planned rather then a camera man running at full speed, and the actors are always in frame, not just part of their head and then random background shit that no one thought to take out of frame. His films are character driven and never plot driven. The first thing that stands out are the characters and their motivation. All of Boyle’s films from the earliest to the latest are all character films. And Boyle is great at finding and bringing to prominence fantastic unknown actors. I’d love to see an unknown actress as Wonder Woman, as Steve or any other character.

A Boyle Wonder Woman wouldn’t be pretty, it’d very likely be a gritty film, which would make action scenes interesting and in your face. I think Danny Boyle could bring us an interesting and perhaps different version of any Wonder Woman movie we could have imagined, and that excites me. Which is why he’s one of my choices on “Who should direct Wonder Woman”

Darren Aronofsky

Aronofsky is an interesting choice. The man has yet to do a big blockbuster film, but his name keeps getting attached to things (Robocop, Batman pre Nolan, and now Wolverine 2). Aronofsky is also not known for being subtle, this however is not a problem. He makes big choices in his films and goes with them. The confusion of Pi, the strap cam of Requiem for a Dream, the multiple stories in The Fountain or the cinema verite style of The Wrestler. And now with Black Swan, Aronofsky is going cerebral.

I won’t deny that Aronofsky is one of my favorite directors working today, he’s bold and daring, and in my opinion hasn’t made a bad movie. His films are visual but also have great performances. He’s directed only five films, four released (Black Swan comes out later next month) and he’s directed 3 actors to Academy Award Nominations, made Marlon Waynes a believable dramatic actor, and word of mouth is that Black Swan is Natalie Portman’s best work.

Aronofsky is a writer, a vizualist, tough on his actors and one of the boldest film makers working today, and seeing as he wants to make a big budget film, why not give him something as daring as Wonder Woman?

Director Recommendations: All of them. But the last two (Fountain, Wrestler) are great.
