The comment comes at 1h28m45s into the podcast if you're curious, in response to a question about whether Greg had been approached about the new Wonder Woman TV pilot in development at the CW. His comment about WW Earth One is framed around answering that question, and he gives a few details of some sequences he and JH had worked out; specifically, about young Diana leaving the island and her motivations, and the right things to focus on with Wonder Woman in general.
Thing is, Greg left DC over two years ago. TWO YEARS. And in that time, has Morrison produced his Wonder Woman book? NOPE. He's spent a great deal of time talking about it though, and about all the "research" he's had to do to understand the character. In fact, it only just got sort of informally announced, and probably won't hit shelves until mid/late 2013. That would be THREE YEARS after Rucka's departure from DC; three years in which Rucka and Williams could have told their story. Apparently, the guy running DC thinks that two Wonder Woman graphic novels, by two equally critically and fan acclaimed author/artist teams, released in a two or three year span, is one graphic novel too many to publish. Because there are soooooooooooo many great Wonder Woman graphic novels out there already.
Oh, wait.
NO THERE AREN'T. :|
You know one of the reasons why Wonder Woman doesn't have a "Dark Knight Returns," character defining work of her own? Because of sh*t like this.
Again, FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF*CK.
Not regretting my decision to ditch DC at all at this point.
