This actually looks good. It may be the one that breaks my string of skipping DC movies on he big screen (or altogether in some cases).

It's kind of weird when they cast it during World War I time period and it's would be a little confusing for some folks when the Justice League Movie comes out too. I did not expect that and I'm a bit curious of how this plays out. Looks encouraging so far.

This actually looks surprisingly good! I just wish they didn't have to use that Snyder color correction on the film though.

This looks great. I like how the lasso looks like a light saber or something. Really cool.

I'm so sick of them making the Amazons shady, but yeah, I'm definitely still going to see this. I would love--just LOVE--an Easter egg suggesting that Wonder Woman and Captain America are fighting on the same battle field at some point  Is she going to somehow bypass World War II in this version, though? |

Looks pretty darn good. Better than the justice league. At least seems much more competently handled. The fight scenes look especially nice. Lots of cool unique little flourishes. It's a good sign to me. I could very much do without the unnecessary and ham fisted feminist bits and dialog but it's sadly expected. Otherwise I'm excited and optimistic and will definitely be going.

Looks like it's coming together nicely. BvS at least succeeded in getting people pumped for WW. Pine is popular now thanks to Star Trek. WW1 is a unique setting that should differentiate this film from other superhero films. The time period also justifies the 'feminist' bits of dialogue, like it did with Agent Carter. And the action looks cool. Hop for less slo-mo in the actual film though.

The setting of WWI is an excellent choice, as horses and pointy objects were still used regularly in the fighting; Diana will fit better in such a theatre than in a more mechanized war. Both this trailer and the Justice League one surprised me. I actually look forward to these films. |

The WWI setting is a bit problematic though in that unlike WWII it isn't as easily seen after all these years as an obvious good vs evil scenario. I would have thought the consensus by now is that it was a completely unnecessary war that should never have happened and for which all sides bear roughly equal blame. Using your superpowers to fight evil Nazis is one thing, but using them to fight anyone at all just because your boyfriend's on the other side doesn't seem too superheroic from this perspective. |

I think it's set in WWI for various reasons: the women's right to vote movement got a lot of momentum during that time, a theme that fits with Wonder Woman. Also the story probably will end with Wonder Woman retreating from the World of Men back to Paradise Island and a war with less defined good guys and bad guys would work with that.
(All speculation on my part of course).

I did some additional research on this movie and I think it will be an excellent movie and I'm for one it's eager to see it on the big screen. I think it will surprise a lot of people here and there.

That's true, and it's a point I hadn't thought about. However, if the producers want to justify Diana picking a side in the conflict, they can always say that she was told about (or witnessed) the slaughter of civilians perpetrated by the German imperial forces in Belgium and Northern France in August and September 1914. (They're even refered to as "the German atrocities" or "the rape of Belgium", so it's all good as far as justification goes!) I'm not trying to excuse the behaviour of the allied governments, mind you, but it's true that the German army behaved in a very barbarous way when it entered Belgium. Probably enough to convince an Amazon princess, a newcomer to man's world, that Steve is right when he says the Huns are a bunch of no-good sons of Hades! |

If this movie does really well, Wonder Woman could skyrocket in popularity more than ever. She could maybe, just maybe leapfrog Superman for current idolization like Iron Man did Spiderman for Marvel after 2008. We shall see. I'm just hoping we get a video game in the works akin to the Arkham series for Batman. Wonder Woman would be a good alternative for Rocksteady Studios to take over. This movie really needs to at the very least be decent.
