Nerdist had their work cut out for them when working on their tribute to celebrate the upcoming release of the Gal Gadot led
Wonder Woman movie. What song do you choose for the Amazonian princess? Why, one simply will not do! How about six classic feminist anthems instead?
Save The World! | A Wonder Woman Tribute includes Nancy Sinatra's
These Boots Are Made For Walkin', Helen Reddy's
I Am Woman, Madonna's
Material Girl, and finishing with Beyonce's
Run The World (Girls) as it travels through the decades with Wonder Woman, recreating some of her most famous looks and inserting her into some of the most famous girl powered music videos of all-time.
Nerdist News' Jessica Chobot plays Wonder Woman from 1966, 1984 while Ciara Renee (Broadway's
Pippin and
Big Fish,
The Flash,
DC's Legends of Tomorrow) takes on Wonder Woman from 1971, 1992, and Katrina Rosita portrays Wonder Woman from 2000. All three women then come together for the big finale as 2011 Wonder Woman performed to the Beyonce anthem. Vocals are handled by a trio of singers including
My Crazy Girlfriends Myah Marie as Madonna and Britney Spears, Chloe Bean as Nancy Sinatra and Ciara Renee doing double duty as Helen Reddy, Whitney Houston and Beyonce. The mashup was directed by Andrew Bowser.

Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers...and her true destiny.

About The Author:
ComicBookMovie.com and Best Little Sites was the brainchild of Nate and a friend way back in 2002. Nate initially focused on the back-end programming and front-end design, but now manages the company and its associated sites as well, with a LOT of help from some very talented contributors.
Nate has loved comics from a very young age and continues to read them on a regular basis thanks to subscriptions to various titles (both Marvel and DC). He also loves movies, as his wife and children will attest. He's not overly critical of movies, so his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as he's much more interested in being entertained and escaping the "real" world for a couple of hours than finding every conceivable plot-hole and character flaw in a film.
Outside of his guilty "nerdy" pleasures, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and three boys, CrossFit, playing guitar, coaching youth sports and MMA (he spent a couple of years in the cage as an NHB fighter, but is now MUCH too old).
