“So many journeys she can experience. She has so many beautiful values. Each chapter is about different values of Wonder Woman. I think that could be really awesome. It's like the Wonder Woman bible.”

The Justice Department is attempting to block the AT&T/Time Warner merger - (The New York Times)

“Crisis on Earth-X” sizzle reel released - (YouTube)

Wedding, Nazis, evil versions of characters

Damon Lindelof on Watchmen TV series - Vulture

“What we think about superheroes is wrong” “we should not trust people who put on masks and say that they are looking out for us. If you hide your face, you are up to no good.”

“[Alan Moore] most certainly doesn’t want us to be doing this and we’re trying to find a way to do it that honors him”

“That comic was written in the mid-’80s. It is more timely now, in 2018, 2019, whenever the show airs, if it airs, that it needs to be told.“

“Watchmen — it was dangerous, And you can’t be dangerous for dangerous’s sake, but the reason that I’m doing this is these are dangerous times, and we need dangerous shows.”

Patty Jenkins talks a little bit about Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman 2 - Variety’s Playback Podcast

Talks career; worked for 10 years as a camera person/cinematographer on commercials and music videos (Puffy, Mary J, Biggie. Elton John, Madonna, Michael Jackson)

On Wonder Woman - Wanted to be true to William Moulton Marston’s original ideas for the characters first and foremost plus other comics; loved Alex Ross and others’ work visually but didn’t take specific visual panels

On Wonder Woman sequel - “Going to other values of hers and a similar formula insofar as making a great, enjoyable, fun movie, but that ultimately in it’s third act turns some very big issues and a very big experience... that will aim to have slightly more weight and profundity than it has to have...

“Because she is Wonder Woman and it’s here now and she’s fully developed, it’s got great fun from the start and great, big superhero presence from the start and is funny and a great love story again and some new, unbelievable characters that I’m so excited about that are very different than were in the last movie. I feel like it’s just the right amount of same world as Wonder Woman as the first movie while being a completely different story that tackles something very different, but very singularly one story

Black Lightning will debut on The CW on Tuesday January 16th at 9 p.m. - (Entertainment Weekly)

* Will be taking Legends of Tomorrow’s spot after The Flash
