    Yeah, my brother is that way too. He thinks the whole superhero thing is played out.

    Don't get me wrong, I had TONS of comic books as a kid. I just always liked the bad guys better. They had cool masks! Like Carnage is my all time favorite comic book character. I also loved Transformer and G.I Joe comics. Just wasn't really ever into the super heros.

    Eh...I could do with or without her. There's so many super heroes being displayed on film that it doesn't matter anymore.

    It would be nice if any of the female superheroes would get their own movie though.

    They didn't even know about Supergirl? Batgirl? Or any of the X-Men ladies?

    Their parents have failed them.

    Why I'm nervous about the Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel movie. Their success/failure is going to have a strong impact on whether or not we get any more. I'm not too worried on the Marvel front considering their track record.

    On the topic of Wonder Woman, guess what's playing on my TV right now >.>

    Pretty much this, except that I'm heartily indifferent to basically everything DC's doing lately, in TV or movies, on account of how utterly joyless, soulless and sterile it all feels. I do truly hope that Gal Gadot's run as Wonder Woman is a success and has well-written stories, but I'm not getting my hopes up since she'll be following in the footsteps of bloated, self-absorbed cinematic turds like The Dark Knight Rises.

    I understand they'll be introducing Wonder Woman in the upcoming Batman Vs Superman: The Dark Justice of Rising Darkness Dawns Darkly from Darkitude, but the trailer for *that* film actually lowered my interest in it. I went from thinking I probably wouldn't bother seeing it, to being pretty darn certain I'm not going to. Long story short: unless the Wonder Woman films show a clear break from the recent DC ouvre, it'll be extremely hard for me to even slightly care.

    Aside of Batman and the cast that surrounds him, I'm pretty indifferent to DC characters.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Their thought process for the last decade has basically been: "People only like Batman. Make every superhero like Batman."

    I actually think that she's a strong character (even after becoming the God of War) and yes I have read many of her comics. I have even drawn her a few times. I don't have anything against her.

    I think it's strange how much Wonder Woman has dropped off the radar.

    Her comics used to be very popular, years ago, and she definitely punched above her weight in terms of impact on popular culture.

    I'm all for a Wonder Woman movie. It will be interesting to see how they handle such an iconic character.

    Plus, DC could really do with the variety. Any break from the endless tirade of Superman and Batman reboots would be good.

    I am excited to she gal gadot playing her. I have a girl crush on her.

    WW herself I think has the problem many other characters do. While she may have a lot of comics, nothing has done her justice in big media. We haven't had a good representation of her in movies or shows. She's only really been a side character in many cartoons. People don't know her or like her because they haven't seen her.

    And yah, DC is all over the place with their movies and shows. Nothing is cohesive like MCU. So people just don't follow it as well.

    J'adore Wonder Woman. Even as a Marvel Guy, I think she's the best female Superhero. IDK why DC can't figure out what to do w/ her in the movies. Frankly, though, they can't figure out what to do w/ anything outside of Batman in the movies.

    I think she was portrayed well in the Justice League cartoon. Her live action show was more part of the zeitgeist. People praise the old Batman for it's odd campiness, while Wonder Woman, which wasn't as campy, gets crap for being campy.
