Evidently Wonder Woman's movie will start somewhere during WWI and shows some war footage.

If I remember correctly, Wonder woman's comic book does start during WWI.

Looks like it follows the comic book pretty closely.

The first Wonder Woman stories take place in the days of WW2. She made her first appearance in 1941/42.



That's from January 1942.

They must have changed her background story at some point. I'm not a super hero expert, so I have no idea when that happened. smile

Cool Eindeckers! You don't get to see them often in movies... that may be reason enough to go see this flick. smile

WHAT? Wonder Woman in the trenches? Going over the top, charging Hun machine guns? This is afar cry from the Wonder Woman I knew in the 40's, which was pretty goofy, even then. (Where's her all-glass airplane? Y'think E.III's are going to T-Bone with that?)

edit: Oh yeah! And those silly damned bracelets.

I am confused. Will she be flying an invisible DRI or a Sopwith Pup ? However, I will go see the film just for the E-III's. On second thought, a woman with a lasso might get in the theater. popcorn

I may be wrong, but in the movie "Superman vs Batman" recently, I think Bruce Wayne (Batman) had an old picture of Wonder Woman posing with some Belgian soldiers during the Great War. Of course, her costume was not as modern as it is shown now.

The first comic was published in 1941. I could never stand Wonder Woman. (and I was only seven by the time the war ended.) But I always felt that the strip was badly written and, certainly, badly drawn. Most superheros had a scientific justification and the whole Greek mythology thing just didn't fit. Even at seven, I knew something was out of place. And there was no hiding the bad drawing, even to a seven year old. Look at the wheels on the Conestoga Wagon below. They are completely out of round. And the airplane! That's the goofiest, most unbelievable airplane ever conceived.
