Wonder Woman

Just when you think Warner Bros. has got their head on straight for once by doing something like hiring Darren Aronofsky and Frank Miller to make Batman Year One, they go and do something like this. According to Britain's Daily Star, singer Mariah Carey is going to be playing the role of Wonder Woman in a movie adaptation of the DC comic.

According to a friend of Carey's, "Mariah is so excited about her film career, and especially with the Wonder Woman role. She has a great sense of humour and is a brilliant actress." Brilliant actress? I think the jury is still out on that one. A quick poll of the office generated a less than enthusiastic response. "This is surely the seventh sign...the end is nigh. This is so stupid, I'm speechless. It'll make Tomb Raider look like Citizen Kane," said resident sci-fi expert Ultra Magnus. Long time reviewer Dogburt was heard to say, "I’m speechless. Must be Warner Brothers punishing us again."
