See AllWhy Male Writers Can’t Seem to Get Wonder Woman Right, According to Gail Simone
The only thing I disagreed about in this article was the part saying Wonder Woman outsold Superman in the Golden Age. I never heard that anywhere before! I've heard Captain Marvel (Shazam) outsold Superman and after Superman the next most popular strip was Blackhawk! For those not well versed in the Golden Age both Captain Marvel (published by Fawcett) and Blackhawk (published by Quality) were not yet owned by DC! And I am unconvinced that Wonder Woman outsold Batman. That being said she certainly was at the peak of her popularity in the 1940's as she appeared not only in her own comic but also in Sensation, Comic Cavalade and appeared in All Star Comics in the JSA feature. She also, along with Superman and The Batman had her own newspaper strip back then!
10 Iconic Actors Who’ve Said They Want To Be Cast In A DC Movie (But Haven’t Yet)
Back in the sixties I was surprised no one even considered Dick Van Dyke as The Joker in the Adam West Batman TV show. He had the right shape head, no mustache to cover over and was thinner than Caesar Romero. He also was very limber and had a history of being a comedian. Was he offered the part and turned it down? Because I can't understand his not being considered for the role back then!
After 85 Years, Marvel Officially Names Its First Ever Superhero (Settling the Fan Debate)
The Golden Age version of Kazar actually appeared in the pulp magazines years before Torch or Submariner appeared anywhere. I don't see the Golden Age Angel being any more "Super" than Kazar!
10 Worst DC Movies That Deserve A Reboot
When Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson created Swamp Thing it was very much a DC character. The Batman even gueststarred in an early issue and they were occasionally in issues of Brave And Bold together. Swamp Thing was around for quite awhile before DC came up with their Vertigo label!
10 Worst DC Movies That Deserve A Reboot
Perhaps the best way to bring back Green Lantern and Flash into the movies again is to have them share the same film. You can have their origin stories but don't drag it out before they have to team up (after all they are both new to their careers and inexperienced). While I was a bit more of a Marvel fan than D.C. I love both their characters and any issue of Flash or Green Lantern teamed up together was always hugely popular with me!
