Sounds like Batman stuff to me.

Is Batman not a superhero?

He's a hero. Not really super...but that's really splitting hairs.

Nifty! But they compare it to Superman and James Bond. . . isn't it almost exactly like Batman's lift-thingie?

Regardless, I wonder how much they'll cost. . .

And I read too slowly. [Smile]

I'm sorry, I can't hold back. Why was Wonder Woman's plane invisible, but she wasn't when she was in it? She just looked stupid zooming around the city, hundreds of feet off the ground, in the sitting position.

Probably awfully hard to detect on radar, though.

I know. She had the dumbest gear. Like whatever was left over when they were handing out superhero gear.

Bullet proof bracelets? So when she was shot at, she had to move her wrists really fast to block the bullets.

A magic lasso that makes people tell the truth once you manage to get them lassoed? Can there be a lamer weapon? I mean, lassos!

And that plane. How does it do any good to have a plane that is invisible? It's got to be hard to find where you parked it. And finding the right slot for the ignition key. I'm not sure if the ignition key is inivisible, too. That's got to make it hard to find your keys. Unless you put it on a non-invisible keychain. And what would the point of THAT be? And, as you said, she's not invisible, and seeing a lady in a weird costume sitting in mid-air and gliding around seems just a bit more conspicuous than seeing an airplane overhead.

I think her only other super-ability was the ability to change clothes super-fast. But all the super heroes can do that. It is definitive of being a super hero.

I can wake up, shower, dress, and be out the door and on my way to work in under 10 minutes. Does that make me a superhero?

I prefer the Cartoon Network "Justice League" version of Wonder Woman. No stupid plane. She can fly. She still has the bracelets and the lasso though. Also, it's pleasant to see the character poke fun at herself.

Wonder Woman: (Changing into a disguise.) Ow! These boots are killing me.

Batman: You fight crime in high-heels.

Wonder Woman: Yeah...high-heels that fit.

Batman to wonderwoman: You're an amazon princess. I'm a guy with dark issues. It would never work out.

The grappling hook thing is very cool though.

That's awesome- I'd imagine the military would love that.

Yeah, seen that in yet another movie: "Ascension guns!"

It would be cool, though.

No. It just makes you less late.
