Yes, my job really is that boring.
So I took a break from thinking about the symptoms associated with exposure to different concentrations of carbon dioxide. "Manta Rays" by Ludo was playing on my iPod, and I tried to think up a story that would go with it.

Batman has it made - he's got the greatest rogues gallery ever, he's got Gotham City. The Bat writes himself. With Wonder Woman, you're writing from whole cloth, but trying to make it feel like you didn't. To make it feel like it's existed for 60 years, even though you're making it up as you go along. But who she, and what the movie, is about, thematically, has never been a problem for me. But the steps along the way, it could be so easy for them to feel wrong. I won't settle. She wouldn't let me settle." ...It's a shame he didn't get much support from the studio execs.
But I feel pretty okay with Goyer's involvement. ...And I'd say the movie is almost definitely happening at this point. They've tentatively set it for release in 2013.
