Warning: Potential Bondage?



I remembered an article I read a couple months ago about the potential Wonder Woman movie, and I thought it would be an interesting read:

Basically, it's about the question of Wonder Woman's sexuality (part of creator William Moulton Marston's intention/inspiration was his bondage fantasies) in the film. How much should it be played up? What other ways could she be interesting to a modern-day audience?

Anyways, read the article and comment on it here if you'd like. What do you think is important and interesting about Wonder Woman? How do you feel about writers' comments on the importance of sexuality?

P.S. One of the posters on that page made a good point about one part of the article. Wonder Woman is supposed to be just as strong as Superman and any other of the strongest super heroes!
