The various Superman movies.
Some of these films have managed to make a nice chunk of change at the box office.
They just havent been able to crack the magic nut.
Clay Enos/Warner Bros
Ever since her comic-book debut in 1941, William Moulton Marstons groundbreaking superheroine has been ahead of her time.
But Wonder Women always (or most of the time, anyways) refused to play by those rules.
She used them all to shatter the superhero glass ceiling.
Its far too assured and sly for that.
Invisible to the rest of the world, the island is hidden by a protective atmospheric cloak.
Zeus created the Amazons to put love back into mankinds hearts and restore peace.
Shes not like the others, though.
Theres something special about her a secret link to the Gods that no one told her about.
But as Diana grows up to become Gal Gadots Wonder Woman, her gift reveals itself.
And just in the nick of time, too.
Hes the first man that shes ever laid eyes on.
The first man that any of the Amazons have laid eyes on.
All of them want him to leave.
But Diana is curious.
Especially after he tells her about the horrific war thats raging back in his world.
Its 1918 and its being called The War to End All Wars.
She has found her destiny.
World War I and the Allies have been Waiting for Gadot.
Granted, theFast & Furiousmovies arent exactly acting showcases, but still…. Gadot sells the innocence and humor in these moments every bit as convincingly as Daryl Hannah inSplash.
Her chemistry with Pine is just as unexpected and electric.
He replies, I am above average.
Poison before its too late.
The setting also helps to make the films resonant feminist subtext feel more organic and less forced.
She refuses to be treated like a second-class citizen by politicians and generals.
No one puts Wonder Woman in a corner.
Shes completely fearless…not to mention a long way from Lynda Carter.
The wait is over, folks.
The DC movie youve been waiting forhas finally arrived.A-
