Was not expecting period piece. WW on a horse

I buy Gal as Wonder Woman though and the costume is great. I'm just surprised at the approach they're taking with this film.

Cliff Chiang & Brian Azzarello's WW run is the very best of New 52, along with Scott Snyder-Capullo's ongoing team-up for Batman, here's one of the already iconic covers:

As for the setting, here's Wonder Woman No.1, classic compilation :

And voila, you got yourself a nice lesson in WW history without sounding like Diana, Amazon warrior, on a horse, is going to feel alien.
 
Am I missing something? I know that superheroes ate put under the silliest and most bizarre of scrutinies. But I flat out don't understand this one. Why is her riding a horse somehow bad? Because she can fly? I mean, yeah, but have you ever ridden a horse? They're awesome. My being able to fly wouldn't stop me from riding a horse.
 
@_@
...
This is absolutely glorious...

edit: didn't see the 300 slow-motion bullshit is back in.
My heart is broken.
Burn in hell, Snyder. Burn.
 
Oh goddamn

This is my jam

Wonder Woman teaming with two of the most fuckless women in the DCU. Every other scene is just Diana being like, "Hey can y'all just chill? Just a bit.

" after Mera drowns some more dudes on dry land or Barda tosses a bus at a dude who was trying to surrender.

Would be greatness.
 
I was kind of hoping they'd do some Gandalf shenanigans (forced perspective or whatever) to make her seem bigger than she is, maybe give her some muscle mass.

Oh well. Hopefully this version wins me over.

We have a new Birds of Prey set up, just have Waller run the role of Oracle. Add some Hawkgirl, too. Just because.

Fucking get wrecked, entire world.

Shit Hawkgirl too with Waller on comms? At that point you should just throw in Huntress and pissed off Supergirl and have the whole DC women "anyone who wants it can get it" squad together.

Trailer set to Crime Mob's "Knuck if you Buck."
 
So they decided to massively power down WW in this one? She's supposed to be as strong as Superman, but this one looks like she'd be lucky to beat Captain America in an arm wrestling contest. Why is she riding a horse? And why is she fighting Nazis?

And I'm still not feeling Gal Gigot (or however you spell her name). Looks like she's made some progress, but she's still way too skinny to pull off a convincing WW.

They went back and forth yeah... then ended up with this overdesigned atrocity:

I like it. :S
 
She still doesn't look right in the role, and have we heard he talk yet? Having seen her rather poor acting in previous films, them seeming to avoid having her talk in character to anyone on screen is worrying. It just makes it look like she's been cast because she's a skinny, fashion industry standard, good looking brunette.

Also I hate how dark and desaturated this looks. It's an awful trend in Hollywood and it's at it's worst in superhero movies like this. I really don't want a grim dark WW movie. Or any DC movie honestly. Even Batman needs to lighten the hell up a bit.

It's frustrating. I mean even though WW always bored me to tears, I still want this to be good, because I want more of these movies with female leads. I want a good, positive, well made, well cast Superheroine movie, but I just can't see it being this.

The too skinny talk is disgusting tbh.

How? She's stick thin, even after bulking up and working out for a couple of years. She does not in any way shape or form have the build of a Amazonian warrior, and as the iconic, supposedly femenist roll model superhero, her looking like a scrawny fashion model is kind of awful for a character young girls are meant to look up to and identify with.
 
You know if any hero besides Batman was going to have a dark and grim telling of their origin it would be Wonder Woman. There is some nutty shit that happens. Rape, slavery, Hera and the Gods loyal to her constantly involving themselves in ruining Diana's life, etc, etc.

Wonder Woman's origins are not sunshine and rainbows in the way, say, Superman had the perfect upbringing.
 
Dont wanna be a hater but i wish they would have gotten with a less skinny actress. I dont know much about Wonder Woman but i wasnt expecting her to just look like a fashion model.

Expected something like Xena the Warrior Princess lol.

It's not the same look. This is, as I mentioned, very reminiscent of European "realistic" period dramas. It has an English look to it. Good stuff in my opinion.

I hate it in anything it's used in. I just find it even worse in superhero movies. It bugged the hell out of me I'm the first Captain America too

Uhh, please no slowmo, that's just overused and a cheap (looking) tool making fights look cooler which they don't, at least not for me.
Otherwise it looks not bad.

You spelt Hawkman wrong. Hawkman somehow managing to out terrible himself continually with each reboot is the stuff dreams are made of.?
 
Beautiful footage. They really aren't wasting any time showing it off, with it only being in production for about three weeks?

I have high hopes but low expectations for the way this cinematic universe pans out.
 
Don't feel particularly excited about the typical DCCU grit filter but the footage looks pretty good. Gal Gadot is gonna make a fine WW.
 
I agree with the colour comments. It could stand to be more vibrant.

I'm liking Gal as Wonder Woman so far. Even the accent could work in favour as portraying Wonder Woman as belonging to a very different culture.

Hopefully it isn't just her fighting Nazi's for too long. World War II had the highest death toll of any war in history, so I wouldn't be surprised if the larger plot is perhaps Ares becoming ultra-powerful due to it and that causing Wonder Woman to elope to prevent further bloodshed, while Ares would want the opposite. Then you can probably work foes more powerful than humans into it.
 
And Gal Gadot looks super fine. Her being "stick thin" is in no way a problem to me. She looks cool in the outfit.

This is set during World War I.
 
I can't wait for the crows to be served, Angry Joe being first in line.

Looks great. Still think Chris Pine playing Steve Trevor AND his granddad is stupid.
