DC’s track record for the past 3-4 big budget movies has been pretty good it seems.
And the gold suit.! I though that was the villain or something at first, but then I remembered her outfit when she went on the warpath in Kingdom Come. It probs has appeared before in the comics, but I was never into WW and I only saw her wearing that outfit in the latter third of Kingdom Come.

That seems legit - unrequited for WW?

2011 - supporting actor as a hapless cop in the unaired Wonder Woman TV pilot "Pants to be Darkened" (thanks sfdebris)
2020 - main villain (possibly? I don't know the lore) in big budget Wonder Woman movie
Good for him. Who knew that having your head popped open would do wonders for an acting career.
“Good people are quick to help others in need, without hesitation or requiring proof the need is genuine. The wicked will believe they are fighting for good, but when others are in need they’ll be reluctant to help, withholding compassion until they see proof of that need. And yet Evil is quick to condemn, vilify and attack. For Evil, proof isn’t needed to bring harm, only hatred and a belief in the cause.”
Her lassoing between lightning bolts was kind of interesting. I also got the impression we were going to see the invisible plane. Surprised we didn't even get a glimpse of Cheetah, but after Sonic and Cats they probably want to make sure they get it right.

that'll do DC, that'll do
Sort of - WW1, JL1 and Aquaman were all great Marvelesque movies
The excellent and brutal Atomic Blonde had plenty of great 80s fun / music.

he's still dead in this. theory is he's caused by Maxwell Lord/someone in some fashion.
Apparently/possibly

Looks good!
Add in some other 80s classics and the Wonder Woman theme could be a good film album

JL was NOT a marvel esc movie. It was a disjointed shallow cgi nothing with mischaracterized nonsense.
Marvels quality is consistently better than that. WW, Aquaman, and Shazam are their only good entries at this point.
Agree to disagree - Love Marvel movies and loved JL

I think a little billion-dollar movie called Joker deserves to be included there. I'll also defend Man of Steel to the end...and feel like it's starting to be appreciated more with time.
But JL...well...I'll refrain from commenting and just say that story will be a fantastic read someday when someone spills all the beans on the bonkers stuff around that production. It's insane from the outside and must have been exponentially so on the inside. It's not -- for instance -- what Cavill's lip looked like. It's about the decision process and personalities that led them to that point and approved the film for release in that state.
Edit: Trailer has some style to it. Be interesting to see how much of that carries over to the film.

It seems plot relevent in a sense that the villain produced some sort of illusion to give people what they want in exchange for their obediance. I suppose that the resolution will involve WW having to sacrifice Steve to restaure the natural order of things.

Joker was also great. I didnt include it because it isnt/wasnt meant to be connected to anything.
These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.
Well.... What do we have for DC movies (not just the DCU)
The first two entries into the Dark Knight trilogy were great, I'll say even better than anything in the MCU. Part 3 was a total let-down though.
Joker was very moving, and I feel awards are incoming.
Man of Steel was decent enough
BvsS wasn't great, but okay.
Suicide squad had a couple good moments, but subpar
Wonder Woman and Aquaman were great
Shazam was a quarky, fun side-step in the DCU.
I think that as a whole, the DCU is starting to work on its teething problem and finally know what it is.
I mean heck, even marvel movies had some utter turds. MCU was Ironman 3, and Thor 2. "Average" includes the Antman movies, Hulk, and I hate to say it.... Endgame.
Outside the MCU? Ghostrider (both of them), Spiderman 3, Punisher (both of them), Amazing Spiderman 1 and 2 were all sub-par.
I think it's unfair to put non-MCU movies in the same basket as MCU movies. Those were all made by other studios. Every DC movie is made by Warner Bros. They own DC. It's all their fault.
That being said, the Dark Knight trillogy is a train wreck if you want an actual batman movie. Christian Bale is the worst Batman we have ever seen in live action. Yes. Worse than Clooney.
BvS might be the worst movie they ever made.

Ouch, that might be going too far. Clooney was horrible as both Bruce Wayne and Batman. Not to mention the feel of that movie was all over the place. And Batnipples.

At least Clooney was in charge of the situation and prepared for what he was dealing with.
Christian Bale is the dumbest batman we have ever seen. He refuses to kill one guy so kills an entire building full of people on accident including the guy he refused to kill. At the end of every dark knight movie the bad guy explains the plot of the movie to him because he still hasn't figured out wtf is going on. He says no guns but shoots rockets at Talia's truck and kills her. He is a literal god damn moron running around in body armor and getting his ass kicked by every person he meets for the 6 hours we watch him. The WORST.

Well, yeah, but unlike Clooney at least Bale's head wasn't bouncing back and forth with every spoken salable like some kind of humanoid bobblehead.

It's probably the same trope they used in the old Lynda Carter 70s tv series. It started in WW2, and then moved into the "modern" days, with Steve being a descendent of the older one or something.
I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
