The legend of Wonder Woman might not be as strong as Lynda Carter thinks.
What exactly are Wonder Woman's great powers again?
The Incredibles are superior. And don't even get us started on Batman.
Megan Fox, who was reportedly formerly in serious talks to don the famous leotard in Warner Bro. Pictures's Wonder Woman remake, is under new fire for slamming the lasso-wielding heroine. (So serious were some fans about getting her cast that website Wonder-who.com even fabricated a fake trailer and promotional poster).
But Fox apparently wanted none of it. She told Times Online that "Wonder Woman is a lame superhero. She flies around in her invisible jet and her weaponry is a lasso that makes you tell the truth. I just don’t get it. Somebody has a big challenge on their hands whoever takes that role but I don’t want to do it." (The interviewer noted that Fox was "clearly unfazed at the thought of ruling herself out of a potentially career-making franchise.”)
Her casual dismissal of the Amazonian princess, who's regarded as one of DC Comics' Holy Trinity of superheroes — along with Batman and Superman, irked former Wonder Woman Lynda Carter considerably. She fired back recently on the morning show "Fox and Friends" when asked what she thought about Fox assuming the role in a developing TV series: "Megan Fox actually kind of trashed Wonder Woman. She said she thought it was dumb. [...] I like her, I just thought she shouldn't trash Wonder Woman."
Generational feuding aside, we think both women are missing the point. When it comes to superpowers, we can all agree that Batman is the clear victor. Infinite supplies of money? What could be better than that?
Super-strength, the ability to fly and the truth can be bought. Tell us: Which superpower would you want most?
Legendary rockers Styx and Kevin Cronin, lead singer of REO Speedwagon, will team up to co-headline the “Brotherhood of Rock” tour in 2025, which will include a stop at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands on Friday, June 6.
The large, 40-city tour will take place over three months, starting in Greenville, South Carolina on May 28, and wrapping up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August 24.
In addition to Houston, the tour will go to Austin on June 4 and Dallas on August 1. It will include special guest Don Felder, former lead guitarist for the Eagles, at all dates.
Fans can expect some of the greatest rock anthems of all time, including “Renegade,” “Keep On Loving You,” “Come Sail Away,” “Can't Fight This Feeling,” and “Hotel California.”
Styx and Cronin (as part of REO Speedwagon) first toured together in 2000 and in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks, coming together to form the Rock to the Rescue 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. This will mark their sixth time joining forces on the road.
2022 was the 50th anniversary of Styx's self-titled debut album, but they have yet to slow down. The band released their 17th album, Crash of the Crown, in 2021. Of course, not everyone is a fan, as this classic clip from The Simpsons illustrates.
REO Speedwagon's recording days appear to be done, with their last album coming out in 2009, but the main group of five has been together since 1989. On this tour, Cronin will be joined by REO's lead guitarist Dave Amato and drummer Bryan Hitt.
General tickets for the tour will go on sale starting on Friday, December 13 at 10 am at LiveNation.com.
Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets in the U.S. beginning on December 9 at 10 am through the Citi Entertainment program.
Styx and Kevin Cronin will be offering VIP packages via their own exclusive pre-sales beginning on Tuesday, December 10 at 10 am, as well as at LiveNation.com.
