BvS Wonder Woman's Role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Part 1

[haephestus]

Um, is that drawing revealing a little too much?

Lol. That's what I thought when I first saw it too. But, I'm pretty sure it's just her leg muscle. It could have been softened and the central "flap" of her skirt could have been repositioned to make it a little clearer!

Wonder if we will see her classic magic transformation. I'm not convinced she's carrying her gear in a bag.

Something either Loki-esque or Superman-esque will work better than her twirling around & looking ridiculous, imo.

I'm sure that DC is entirely done with that...even in the 2009 animated film that adheres completely to her original origin they don't ever make any attempt to make her do said spin to change. Nor in the New 52.

CHARACTER PROFILE:
The world’s first and foremost female superhero, Wonder Woman at once embodies the unrivaled force and supreme grace of a born warrior, and the genuine compassion and understanding of a true humanitarian. As a symbol of equality, power and truth, her natural confidence and unmistakable intelligence maker her an unequalled, if unexpected, ally.

The immortal Amazonian Princess Diana keeps her eyes and ears open for intrigue as the beautiful and mysterious ANTIQUITIES DEALER, Diana Prince.

That's not her vagina, it's the abductor muscle on her leg.

Correct.

Although it's called adductor, not abductor.

Let me check that off my list of sentences I never thought I'd ever see in my lifetime.

Do they actually call her WW in this movie? And if they do, is it used as a punchline like Superman's name in Man of Steel?

They don't call her Wonder Woman. Actually I don't recall anyone calling her Diana either. In the airline scene, a flight attendant addresses her as Ms. Prince. As far as BvS is concerned, she's a woman of mystery. Which, IMO, was the way to go.

Gal was pretty good compared to what I feared. She does have some awkward deliveries (which I guess is a relevant problem that might get worse on repeat viewings) but I'm not 100% sure if it's flawed acting or her accent shining through at times. She does well with the physical aspect at least. The question is how she'll fare in her own movie where she'll have far more lines.

 

[Matt.S99]

Correct.

Although it's called adductor, not abductor.

Woops! Typo!

 

[Jake Cassidy]

I love Gal as Wonder Woman and I really can't wait for the solo.

 

[jmc]

She suffers from Black Widow IM2 syndrome. She's there as a decoration and not much else.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Still cool and badarse.

 

[Rike]

Literally the best part of the movie

 

[croboy82]

def gets you excited about her solo movie.

 

[Golgo-13]

Haven't seen the movie..yet, but there seems to be a divide on how good she is. This reminds me of how people that saw Spectre raved at how great Batista was, and i would think to myself, "Did we even watch the same movie..?"

 

[mattyt81]

WW's scenes were awesome. the heavy tribal drum type music had my heart racing and she was a badass during the fights

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

WW was badass & beautiful. Can't wait for her solo movie next year.

I think it's because of her role in the movie, and the amount of time she actually spends in it. Zack doesn't give her a big moment to shine, and she only has a few lines to persuade people. However she's not Ronda Rousey acting bad.

 

[Defacto]

Spoiler

That look Wonder Woman gave to Lois Lane when Superman was dead? Yeah, it was bad. It was like "ehh, what can you do?".

Not that Gal was completely terrible in the role. I still do think she should be meatier, physically. I mean the guys put lots of muscle on. She should have done that too. Too skinny.

 

[Willi Berg]

It was an exciting introduction but it doesn't really tell much of her story and the set ups in this movie are great for her solo. Such as:

Spoiler

She has great weapons. The sword and shield, of course. The bracelets do create a shockwave when smashed together. The lasso glowed when fighting Doomsday.

The "fake" sword she and Bruce were discussing looks to be a link to her solo movie.

The old photograph with Steve Trevor/Chris Pine as we know also to be answered in her solo.

Interesting that Lex has been exploring the metahuman presence in the world and that he discovered her. I wish we saw more of how he came to find her and the others.

There is not a huge amount of story here about WW but it's a good intro for the general audience.

 

[Vlyse]

I didn't really understand her role in the movie. She's in town because Lex has a photo of her? And she recovers it and decides to book a flight out?

But she's also "interested in the same man you are." Well, not really? She didn't seem to care about the being of Superman that much?

I don't think her being in this movie is really justified...

Ignoring your obvious lack of knowledge regarding male & female physiology, Gal has added 17 lbs of muscle so she's far from skinny.

If you're still looking at Gal at this point & saying she's too skinny, you need your head examined. She wasn't ever going to be a bodybuilder & the fact that you expected her to pack on mass like Affleck or Cavill is wholly laughable.

 

[Bwahaha!]

I've seen two BvS showings and, each time, the audience went wild for Wonder Woman. Entertainment, accomplished. And from the studio's perspective, the main point was to introduce her and get people excited for the WW solo next year. I'm certain Warner will achieve that. Smart way to set up this character for greater things.
