PROFESSOR MARSTON & THE WONDER WOMEN Trailer Details The Controversial Creation Of The Iconic DC Heroine

@Forthas - I completely disagree with you. I hated the Dark Knight Trilogy because it wasn't focused on telling the authentic story of Batman. It kinda did in some elements, but it was more focused on this "EPIC" crap.

@incredibleTalk - I prefer the world before it came up with a word for contrary opinions based on passionate beliefs. "Triggering" is just gonna happen, whether you have these labels or not. It needs to.

Telling the somewhat comic-book-correct story of a superhero is not an invention of Marvel's. If it were, I'd say, f it anyway. Do it. Who cares if they got there first?

WonderWoman is my idea of "getting it right" minus a couple little effects and problems.

@Forthas - Right, I agree. The spirit of the character. The animated features around the late 2000s were even getting that right. I wish the movies could. At least WonderWoman did.

@Forthas - Well, they could still ruin it with the answers to those questions in the sequel, but I hope they won't while Patty Jenkins is at the helm.

@ImmovableForce - I think Nolan did get the spirit of the character right. I think that is the appeal of Captain America, irrespective of his costume and those two heroes represent the best of the CBM genre.

@Forthas - Do not lie to yourself, you are a marvelite, simple like that, Lol.

@Forthas - Nolan's approach infuriates me. He focused completely on making everything real-worldy, but even ended up going way off that mark. He never showed how Bruce got his training on electronics and such. I guess we're to assume he just learned it all from his new job in the tech department, but he hadn't been doing that for long. Suddenly he's inventing grids of detection that no one had come up with yet, using cellphones, all by himself? And the characters are realed down, as if you can't make the characters as they should really be and have people buy it or like it. Everything he did screamed that. "This is the real world! So we can't do that and that, it must be this real-worldy way instead with things that already exist!" Can't CatWoman Catwoman. Can't have a Bane who actually LOOKS like he could break Batman's back with his arms. Can't show Bane using a formula to make himself stronger because we HAVE TO BE DIFFERENT AT ALL COSTS!!!

A Joker who loves to laugh all the time? Nooo. Must make him like a real-world psychopath, who laughs almost as a way of cynically ridiculing the very act of laughing itself.

@ImmovableForce - Even the animated joker does not just laugh all the time. It is supposed to be at inappropriate times.

@Forthas - The animated Joker doesnt laugh all the time. Yes I know. But, the Ledger version, god rest the actor's soul, was not the Joker.

@Forthas - copying Marvel? Wonder Woman was an adaptation of the original comic book story from Sensation Comics. It was far from being any Marvel story. Where do you get off saying it was a missed opportunity when it is domestically the second highest grossing (supehero) origin to date?

@Forthas -

???

Okay, the Sensation Comics tale has been basically made into a myth or a bedtime story, if you will. In this new take, Diana was born naturally and her father was/is the Greek god Zeus (one of the last children he sired before he presumably died). The decision to to change the origin was not to copy from Marvel but rather to make the story more palatable to today's mainstream audiences. It is only a coincidence that she and Thor happen to be siblings of gods.

Secondly, outside of fighting Germans, the story-line of Wonder Woman remains, as Cinema Blend's Conner Schwerdtfeger put it, "incredibly faithful to Diana's origins from the 1940's" (see http://www.cinemablend.com/news/1666580/5-changes-wonder-woman-made-to-the-dc-heros-origin-story?story_page=1). Sure, General Ludendorf was given super strength from a chemical gas, but that is a plot point that has been used in many comic book movies (films like Underdog, Meteor Man, Man of Steel, and Spider-Man come to mind, but there are more). It is not a plot point that is uniquely Marvel's, so, no Wonder Woman was not ripping them off, but in fact attempting to differentiate themselves from their rival.

Finally, please stop trying to insinuate that films like Captain America: The first Avenger or Thor would have had the same box office as Wonder Woman if they had the same ticket price (they both were released in 3D although CATFA was not released in IMAX, but that was a choice the studio made - it was available to them). Even if you corrected for that, Wonder Woman would still beat them out. Ticket prices ore only 9 cents higher per dollar today than they were six years ago. Wonder Woman is a success and it wasn't a missed opportunity. In fact it was a great opportunity to produce a film that will eventually become a superhero movie top 10 domestic box office hit.

@McGee - It's a shame that the good honest traditions are in decline
