Actually it depends on what "original" JLA team you mean. When the Justice League of America was launched in the early 60s Wonder Woman was the token chick. Following the Crisis/reboot in '86 Perez's retelling of Wondy's origin story meant she was no longer a founding member and that role went to Black Canary as seen…

Yeah they did say something "With the right script, that could be viable." Try not to fall over from the enthusiasm.

Well there WAS a Wonder Woman project in the pipeline both in TV and in movies. In TV there was Amazon for the CW and for movies there was a script that was being written by Michael Goldenberg as of this time last year. The problem is that none of these go anywhere. Like the Joss Whedon script which WB never even had…

Since when is "valid criticism" dependent on the comments field of YouTube? Or even better, how much valid criticism actually has ever appeared in the comments field of YouTube, unless you consider misogynistic insults to be valid criticism? Anita is smart to block comments. Why enable a cesspool?

Look if you think things need to change then why don't YOU do something instead of whining and judging people who actually do do something.

While I'm happy to see Becky Cloonan getting some love on Jezebel, this article needs some out some better clarification. First, Cloonan is not the first female artist to draw Batman. There have been other female artists who have done so at DC including Nicola Scott. Cloonan, however, was the first female artist to…

But what you think is "trivial" may not be to others. I guess and the other people who took issue with this think having women drawn with an eye to anatomy and not having their tits and ass at the center of drawing on a monthly comic is important.

Everything. Wait, I lied her right ear is okay.

I'm not sure where you're going with that answer there. First it may be an old issue but it is still an issue. I mean should you just stop bringing up an issue after certain period of time?And secondly the "magically increase book sales" isn't really the point. Because conversely you have to argue that tits and ass…

"I think the fact that popular artists are resistant to adopt the moniker should tell feminists about how negatively they are often perceived and ask why that is." Maybe because people like you post stuff idiotic stuff like this?

It's gotten much better under Lemire.

Charlie, I'd definitely add Wonder Woman to your A list. Hollywood may not be able to figure out how to make her a movie, but when it comes to licensed stuff (toys, clothing) and awareness she's far, far ahead of Green Lantern in that regard despite the number of Green Lantern comics.

Wonder Woman's best appearance in 2011 was probably one you weren't really supposed to know about until you bought it- Batman/Superman Apocalypse. Due to the perceived slow selling of the Wonder Woman DVD feature, Warner Bros. promoted the movie which starred Supergirl as a just another Batman/Superman movie. Don't…

I find the argument that the showing idealized male bodies has anything to do with female characters being are depicted in comics. There is a HUGE difference between objectification and idealization. You can't compare biceps and ripped shirts to the depiction of women who manage to show their ass and tits at the same…

Great list. Hey Jezebel readers if you hear any comic executives yelling "who should I hire?" when asked about female creators, point them here will 'ya?

Before the TV show came out in 1966, Lois Lane sold more comics that Batman did. In fact she outsold him three years in the 1960 including after the bump of the TV show.

Newsflash: In this day and age mostly any comic that is not Superman, Batman or now Green Lantern doesn't sell a lot at DC. Instead of using the logic of "You want more female characters, buy their books" the better logic is "Hey DC, you want to sell more comics, don't keep trying to sell the same thing to the same…

One thing that I didn't see here was the original post I did about Kryax during SDCC. On Saturday evening of the show after reading coverage of the panels that Kyrax was attending and hearing about the reception she was getting from reporters attending, I posted this story
