Pity poor Diana of Themyscira. She might be the warrior princess who paved the way for such heroes as Xena , Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Katniss from The Hunger Games , but when it comes to making it on her own in movies or television, she can’t seem to catch a break. With Michelle MacLaren dropping out of the in-development 2017 movie, is it time to ask whether Wonder Woman is cursed? Despite being created within years of her DC Entertainment brethren Superman and Batman, Wonder Woman’s footprint outside comic books is surprisingly minimal. It could be argued that the same is true inside comics; unlike those two heroes, she’s been traditionally limited to one solo series per month until last year’s launch of Sensation Comics.
