DC Comics recently announced their “Future State” project in their comic universe. DC Future State spotlights the World’s Greatest Super Heroes in fresh new roles, with all-new characters taking up their iconic mantles.
This has been received both positive and negative by fans and casual comic readers. I have some issues yet I have some praise for the Future State event. As while I don’t truly think some of it is needed, I do really like the designs of the suits and looking forward to getting to know these characters.
One of these characters is Yara Flor, a Latina Dreamer who was born of an Amazonian Warrior and a Brazilian River God, learns that she is Wonder Girl.
Greg Berlanti and The CW are currently developing a drama series centered around the character of “Wonder Girl”. This would mark the first Latina superhero title character of a DC TV series. Rodriguez, who is the daughter of Cuban immigrants, is executive producing with Berlanti Prods.’ Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and David Madden.
While I’m all for this character coming to live-action. My only worry is that it might not be received well and will be thought of as a “forced” race on the DC CW shows.
I do have another worry of it being too soon to bring these characters to live-action, I mean she hasn’t even debuted in the comics yet and she might not be received well by comic readers.
I truly hope it pays off as for me personally, this is a risk. I hope it turns out well and she fits in with the timeline of the DC CW shows.
