Wonder Woman
Potential Cast: Sandra Bullock

Not even Wonder Woman's golden lasso has been able to rein in the seemingly endless development that keeps Princess Diana of the Amazon in perpetual procession to the silver screen. As with all DC Comics characters, Wonder Woman seemed bound for the big screen via DC's corporate sibling, Warner Bros. However, no one besides Lynda Carter has ever been formally fitted for Wonder Woman's halter top since producer Joel Silver took control of the project in 2001. While Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Lopez were bandied about to put on the bulletproof bracelets, Antz screenwriter Todd Alcott took a stab at the film, followed by a series of scribes leading up to Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon being hired to helm in 2005. His version, said to be set in the present day and star an unknown, wasn't deemed wondrous by the studio. Warner Bros. unceremoniously dumped Whedon by buying a version set during World War II and written by two unknowns, though the studio claimed it was only a preemptive measure against a plagiarism lawsuit.

Project Status: Silver is considering leaving Wonder Woman in a league of her own until she can join a film about the DC all-star crime-fighting squad, the Justice League.
