'Wonder Woman' begins on the mystical island of Themyscira, where a proud and fierce warrior race of Amazons resides. They have raised Princess Diana, a daughter of stunning beauty, extraordinary strength and incredible fighting prowess. Diana possesses a host of super human powers granted to her by the gods and goddesses of Olympus and her strength and stamina are unparalleled. When Air Force fighter pilot Steve Trevor crash lands on the island, the rebellious and headstrong Diana defies Amazonian law by accompanying Trevor back to civilization. Meanwhile, Ares (the God of War) has escaped his imprisonment at the hands of the Amazons and has decided to exact his revenge by starting a world war that will destroy them all. It is up to Princess Diana to save her people and the world by using her gifts to become the ultimate 'Wonder Woman'.

The Batman: Complete Animated Series boxset has a sneak peek at this that's actually a cool featurette in its own right about the voice talent, WW's history in comics, etc.. Looking forward to it. Maybe if this succeeds DC and WB will get their asses in gear and get the live-action version made.
king, that's exactly what I was thinking. Perhaps if it gets a warm reception, critical and financial, maybe we'll finally get the much deserved live action film.
Those digital copies are way to large and limited for use for mp3 players and such. Hulk was a 2 gig load and it's stuck on my laptop and with the code it's a throw away disk.

This looks really good as far as I'm concerned. The tailer was excellent, and Tim rarely disappoints.
