New 'Wonder Woman' Trailer Lacks Voice(s)

Have you seen the recently-released trailer for the animated Wonder Woman? If not, you can check it out above.
Firstly, I must admit that they certainly did a great job portraying Wonder Woman's toughness, although it's a bit tainted by the lone piece of dialogue in the trailer: "It's not polite to hit a lady." There's nothing to weaken the muscles of toughness like references to ladies and impoliteness. If they changed "lady" to "goddess," then I'd be good -- it would be a nice play on words.
Anyway, what really surprises me is that there's no dialogue, save for the above quote. Sure, it's important to show the action, but considering the voice talent connected to this project, I see no better way to get people interested. Keri Russell is Wonder Woman, Virginia Madsen is Hypolyta, Nathan Fillion is Steve Trevor, Alfred Molina is Ares, Oliver Platt is Hades, Rosario Dawson is Artemis, and David McCallum is Zeus.
Now that's the sales kicker for me. The feature will hit shelves in February of 2009.

(Page 1)2. I just find it interesting that no male superheroes wear shorts. At least they gave her flat shoes.

3. most male superheors just wear their underwear over their tights because otherwise people would laugh at their knobby knees.
there was a small featurette about the WW on the gotham knight dvd and the casting of russel and fillion seemed rather inspired to me.

4. I agree the animation has got to go. This is nothing more than Saturday morning cartoons. I would've liked to see them make it CGI like Final Fantasy, or even the Incredibles was more compelling than this cheap grade anime.

1. Man, cant DC use a different art style already, and spend a little more money to flesh out the stiff animation.
