I used to read comics when I was a kid. Of course I wish I still had those since they would be worth a lot now. I lost interest around 13 or so when I started getting more interested in music and girls. I always preferred Marvel. However, Marvel had to struggle for a while against DC.
Some DC comics were actually not bad, though, especially Batman and the Flash. But DC has never been able to bring anything to the screen in a meaningful way. The more recent Batman movies may be a step in the right direction, though. Now I rarely watch comic book hero movies. Most of the time I'd prefer a straightforward science fiction movie.
As far as Wonder Woman goes, I'd say the reason there has been a recent flurry of interest is because some people began to realize the pilot was better than expected. Also, in the final scene, she is wearing the classic Wonder Woman shorts, except this time they've never been shorter and never looked better. As I indicated in another post, if she had been wearing that costume from the beginning, things might have turned out differently. As for sexy characters, though, I can think of no one sexier than Diana Rigg as Emma Peel. Even to this day, she fits my image of the perfect woman. God only knows how many adolescent males were driven mad by her.
