So...been a while.

This happened.

I have mixed feelings on this. For one, it's about time Wonder Woman got put in a movie. She is the most notable comic book character to have not yet appeared in a feature film. On the other, it is disconcerting that Warner Bros. feels the need to use the sequel to Man of Steel as a means to introduce all these other characters. It's already a backdoor Batman reboot, does it need to be a launching-off point for Wonder Woman as well? Is DC not confident in the character's ability to hold down her own movie? Despite there being like 8 or so Superman movies, the character's mythos is still relatively unexplored. There were a lot of potential threads for sequels embedded in MoS, so it seems a shame to throw all that out the window just to force a Justice League movie that's certain to draw unfavorable comparisons to The Avengers. Hopefully the Nightwing rumors aren't true.

Can't say anything about the actress, though. She's got limited acting experience (most notably three Fast & Furious movies), but then again The Wolverine was Rila Fukushima's first acting job and she nailed it. Best of luck to her in taking on such an important role.
