What comic should they base it off of?

Do you think it will be successful?

#2 Posted by mk111 (3030 posts) - 5 months, 7 days ago - Show Bio

Maybe Circe? I don't like most of WW's villains.

#3 Posted by lilben42 (1298 posts) - 5 months, 7 days ago - Show Bio

@mk111: Yeah but there are alot that are good like Circe, Ares, Cheetah, Genocide, Silver Swan, Cronus etc... I think Circe would be too much like loki they should probably go with Ares or in the new 52 Athenas wrath.

@lilben42: I think Ares would make for a good villain, but I don't like Cheetah, and the rest are mostly B-rank villains, if that.

@mk111: I forgot Giganta, Deimos, and Dr. Psycho. Giganta is am A-list villain, Dr. Psycho almost is. Maxwell Lord is an A-list villain and so is Hades. I think they should use Ares too its the easiest.

Cheetah in first film

Cheetah and Silver Swan in seconf film working for a mysterious person

Circe in third film as that mysterious person who wants to unleash Hades

@OutlawRenegade: What is the biggest thing Cheetah has done or her plan?

Circe (War of the Gods) the second film a little crossover between the JLA and WW

Ares and Genocide as the third movie.

She likes power, so she would collect dangerous pulp artifacts. She and Wonder Woman would have to race around the world for them. Also Wonder Woman think Cheetah is her friend who has been cursed instead of being truly evil. And Genocide is just a bad doomsday ripoff.

Hades is actually not a WW villain. Ares is the major god villain of Diana.

Cheetah would be best.

He was in Bruce Timm's Justice League. He was also her father in that iteration. Much cool than Ares IMO.

Yeah the cartoons, I know that. That Bruce Timm's JL is a fluke. Have you seen the Wonder Woman animated Film? Have you seen how Hades looks like there? This Justice League Hades character is suppose to be Ares, the look, the objective is no doubt should be Ares.

Hades is the lord of the underworld and the dead. Keeper of the souls. He actually has his hands full by that job description since all mortals die anyways, so why would he even bother go out of his realm and attack Diana, it makes no sense. You have to actually know Diana's history to be able to conclude which gods are in her immediate periphery.

He wants to expand his domain, duh.

Ares also appeared on the show, and I've seen him in the WW animated film, and I've read mythology. In every appearance Ares is a weak, little *****. He's not at all interesting or cool as a villain.

He can't do that, since Zeus and Poseidon won't allow him. They've partitioned the 3 realms of the earth and he gets to stay down below. Ares is not weak, the writers are.

If movie is following her new origins than Hera. If not I would say Ares or Circe. Honestly I would like to see a least one superhero movie do an original villian.

That's a good motivation to me. He's mad at his brothers for getting the short straw in terms of domain. He wants to expand his domain and take them out--and would succeed if not for Diana. And Ares is always whiny when the chips are down--even in the movie you told me I should watch. He's a **** character.

Hades among the 3 of them is actually getting more powerful as time passes, all he needs to do is to sit down and wait for his 2 bothers to fall since he's the only one who doesn't need any worshippers to stay or augment his powers. He needs Ares to create war and death so he gets to keep more souls. I just said to watch the WW Film so you can compare Hades in JL and in the WW Film, since in the WW pretty much makes more sense of his looks coz he doesn't engage in battles at all, not look at Ares' character or powers there. The Bruce Timm photo of Hades that you posted is a rip-off of the actual Ares look in WW comics. Hades has less character than Ares, he's pretty much just gives in to the demand of Zeus unlike Demeter, and also Persephone keeps him in check. lol

It depends on when the story takes place. If its the modern era then Circe but if they do like Captain America basing it in the 40s then it should be Baroness Von Gunther( just a more dangerous Gunther)

Wonder Woman 1 - Ares and Circe teamup (Circe in the background) Based on Perez and Animated film origin, but more of a Batman Begins vibe about it.

Wonder Woman 2 - Paradise Lost - Alkyone (Based on the Circle arch)

Wonder Woman 3 - Hunters Moon - Cheetah, Veronica Cail

Wonder Woman 4 - Has to be Genocide, but updated. (I want Dr Psycho in there as well, but he´s too cool to be a side villain)

Ares has alot of potential as a WW villain, he´s great when written well and truly sinister. I mean you are aware these aren´t real people? and they are only as good a character as people write them. there´s alot they can build off with Ares. He make one of the best screen villains I think of many superheroes. He´s cooler than Green Goblin, more of a threat than Lex Luthor, just about as sinister as the Joker. Whats your problem with him?

#21 Posted by Crom-Cruach (7715 posts) - 5 months, 7 days ago - Show Bio

Circe, and it could be successful provided that it's not handled by an incompetent director getting input from suits

#22 Posted by Goddessa (196 posts) - 5 months, 7 days ago - Show Bio

By the way she's being handled so far by the powers that be, I reckon she'll just be given a lackey, a drug lord, and if fans are lucky, an all out battle with the legendary Bigfoot (like the 70's Six Million Dollar Man tv show). Lol

Cheetah really? Then again I fail to see how she's WW's villain to begin with considering WW has Superman-level powers or supposedly she does. Cheetah certainly could be a villain in the movie, but the villain? I don't see where people are coming from.

I would think the villain would fall under one of these categories:

  • a) DC Superpower
  • b) Greek mythos
  • c) one or more amazons (or the entire amazon race)
  • d) humankind

Cheetahs cool, but I think they´d need a villain who starts it off to give credibility to the film for a general audience. I just don´t see Cheetah, a ware-cheetah being that antagonist. I have to go with The God Of War. Who better to face Diana emisery of peace from Paradise Island than some one who inspires war, death and destruction, and whose soul purpose is to fan the flames of hate, plunging the world into all out war. His powers are great for film as well, Strength, speed, endurance, ability to control any weapon, necromancy, the ability to raise the dead. And he only gets more powerful the more conflict arises around him. That´s a real challenge for WW, and thematically fits in with her chatracter. He´s the man who will sell tickets to a WW film, especially if he´s made suave but savage at the same time.

Ares would be great as a first film because it would focus around the Gods and Amazons which is needed for an origin. Maybe at the end of the movie she should take Steve back to "Mans land" after she deals with Ares, or Ares tries to create war to make him more powerful and to enslave mankind that would really bring out Dianas peace characteristic.

They could use Athenas wrath and Medusa turns her mother to stone under Athena's orders. Then Diana has to deal with Medusa basically a combination of the new 52 and the story arc stoned but then they would have to make Wonder Woman a demi god which I got to say not lovin. Like everything else though.

@Crom-Cruach: I think if they did Circe some people would call it a girl version of Thor.

#29 Posted by Bruxae (3185 posts) - 5 months, 6 days ago - Show Bio

Cheetah is by far the most iconic id say but a little dull for a movie, I think Ares would be the best.. Circe my personal favorite.

Really don't see why given that they have nothing to do with each, are from completely different mythologies and have nothing in common personality wise.

Dear god, it ain't that hard. Just adapt Gods and Mortals. Meaning........Ares.

To me, the only real options are Ares and Circe. I don't feel that Cheetah can be the main villain, though she'd be a perfect secondary villain.

#33 Posted by Onemoreposter (2762 posts) - 5 months, 5 days ago - Show Bio

Dr Psycho. No doubt in my mind. He's stands for everything Wondy stands against. Also, always found him to be one of the most genuinely creepy and borderline frightening rogues Diana has in her gallery.

If they want to stand out Angle Man. Make him similar Walter White from Breaking Bad. Maybe he should be in the second movie.
