The trailer from the upcoming direct-to-DVD Wonder Woman animated movie that was shown at the San Diego con has been posted over at Yahoo! Movies. And you know what? It’s not bad. Not bad at all.

Not that I thought it was going to suck or anything…the DC animated movies so far have been largely pretty good…Superman/Doomsday was decent and New Frontier, while nowhere near as good as the source material, was pretty good too. Gotham Knight was pretty awful, but I don’t know who to blame for that, so the less said the better.

In any event, this looks pretty good. The voice cast isn’t bad…Keri Russell wouldn’t have been my first choice for Diana, but her one line in the trailer seems right on. Nathan Fillion should be a good Steve Trevor, and I’m totally on-board with Virginia Madsen and Alfred Molina as Hippolyta and Ares respectively.

It won’t be out until next year, but the director Lauren Montgomery has kept a semi-regular blog for a while (which I’ve been reading without ever realizing what she’s been working on), so hopefully more updates will show up there soon. Even if she doesn’t, it’s worth reading for the artwork she posts from time to time.

Anyway, with the live action movie dead in the water (until the next attempt, anyway), this is all the Wonder Woman we’re gonna get anytime soon, and that’s just fine with me…I still think Jessica Biel is the only person who can play the role (and she doesn’t want to do it).
