How 'Absolute Wonder Woman' Could Solve DC Studios' Problem

Currently, James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DCU slate is missing a dedicated Wonder Woman solo film, leaving Diana Prince's cinematic future in question. This editorial argues that the massive success of DC Comics' new Absolute Wonder Woman run—written by Kelly Sue DeConnick with art by Hayden Sherman—provides the perfect cinematic blueprint. By adapting this gritty, heavily reimagined version of Diana (who is raised in Hell without the idyllic backing of Themyscira and wields a massive Buster sword), DC Studios could deliver a radically fresh, heavy-metal take on the character that easily separates her from Gal Gadot’s iconic previous portrayal.

 DC Studios Reportedly Ditching 'Waller' and 'Paradise Lost' Development

According to recent industry reports, DC Studios is quietly shifting its television strategy and shelving two of its previously announced series: the Amanda Waller spin-off Waller (starring Viola Davis) and the Themyscira-set prequel Paradise Lost. The article notes that as the studio hones its overarching "Chapter One: Gods and Monsters" narrative, executives are opting to streamline the slate. By putting these specific projects on the back burner, DC is prioritizing its heavy hitters like Superman, Supergirl, and the Lanterns series, potentially saving the lore of Themyscira and Amanda Waller's machinations for upcoming theatrical crossover events.
