2009 might work better. It'd be the only DC film out there
Not by my standards. It'd have been the only DCU film out there, to be sure, but Watchmen was technically a DC film.

At the time she was cast for the part in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Lucy Lawless was a miner and sometime set hand. What happened what that during filming in the town she had been living in, the woman originally cast for the part (Claudia Black, of Farscape fame!) had come down with a bad case of dysentery and had to be airlifted to the hospital. Sam Raimi and company were in dire straits, and Lucy came up and read for the for the newly opened part on a dare. The rest is history.
If successful this means the alleged "no jokes" rule at Warner Brothers does not happen.
If it's really successful Whedon might be in the room during the discussions of how WB should reboot Superman which they needed to do in the timeframe they did for a number of contractual reasons.
Whedon is more of a Marvel guy. I think he actually wrote for them at one point-so you could argue that he'd be the wrong man for a D.C. franchise.
There IS a two year gap in his bio following graduation, but IDK. I would think that if he had been writing for them (I'm assuming you mean the comics, as there was nothing else for Marvel back then) Marvel Comics would be touting those stories as collector's items, even if his role was as a minor contributor (get us some donuts, Josh).
You mean aside from his run on Astonishing X-Men, right?That began in 2004, so it would have been in the geek consciousness when WW the Movie came out.
Not seeing Morena... What about Catherine Bell? Or Demi Moore (judging by "GI Jane"...) Catherine Zeta-Jones? (FYI, Demi would be the eldest by 6yr.)
The gap I was referring to was 1987-89.
Who is Morena?
However, if they had done the Wonder Woman movie as I suggested in the early 1990's, Warner Brothers would have paid a lot more money to Lawless than the production company that was producing Hercules: The Legendary Journeys at the time. The result: Xena stays a relatively minor character and is "killed off" in the Hercules TV series continuity before Lawless goes off to do the Wonder Woman movie.
In some respects the impact such a film would have on other franchises is more intriguing than the film itself. Regardless of whether the film is a flop or hit such a project means that he will not be able to direct the avengers. If it's successful he's tied up with Wonder Woman 2. If it fails-he's too big of a risk from Marvel's perspective. I know Marvel has been accused of becoming a bit of an assembly-line-the film will be different without Whedon.
That's a good point. Who would Marvel look to if not Whedon?
