It’s not wrong to have concerns. Hell, I have concerns. I, for my part, am just presenting counter-points because I refuse to let my excitement parade be rained on.

I've got high hopes for this one. After the let down of BvS and Suicide Squad this could be DC's first good movie in their shared film universe. (Not counting Man of Steel since it was ok not great)

Its funny how you and I can agree on so much EXCEPT the 89 Batman stuff, it baffles me. I do like the homage to Superman the movie in here with the bullet deflect, but Im confused about WW's powers. Is she basically a female Superman(strength, invulnerabilty etc) cause if so, why does she need the bracers to deflect stuff? I was watching Justice League unlimited, and she was taking hits from powerful foes, but then still blocks stuff with the bracers. Why doesnt she just let it hit her, or use her hands etc for bullets and stuff she KNOWS wont hurt her? Can someone explain please?

Uh oh.. you just offended a bunch of tight wads by posting that ;o)
But yeah,
I think it's just become a part of her character and it makes a neat visual.

Well I can conceive how having super strength and being bulletproof don't necessarily go hand in hand. Sure she's impervious to extreme blunt trauma but a supersonic pointed projectile is essentially a miniature spear. And isn't she supposed to be vulnerable to sharp/pointed weapons?
Pointed sticks? Oh, oh oh .... we want to learn how to defend ourselves against pointed sticks, do we? Getting all high high and mighty, eh?

Correct. Diana’s primary vulnerability is weapons that were designed to pierce skin. So no random pointy sticks, but spears, bullets, arrows… yup.

Are they going with her origin that she was shaped from clay? Or generic daughter of someone origin? Anyone know?

It sounds like they’re maybe going with a combination of the two? In the SDCC trailer, Steve asks about her father and she replies with “I have no father. I was brought to life by Zeus.”
Which… eh. I mean, it sucks that it isn’t Hera that grants Hippolyta her daughter like in the comics, but at least it sounds like Diana’s not just yet another of Zeus’ byblows.

I would love to see that scene in the WW movie. It would mean that DC had pulled the stick out of their backside at least a little bit. By stick I mean the , everything has to be dark and brooding, with no real humor stick. There has to be a balance, like Marvel has found. Looking forward to a WW movie. I just hope we get a cameo from the original Wonder, Lynda Carter. That would be awesome.
I love the guitar riff, that will bring her to mind as easily as The Superman Theme Brings him immediately to mind.
Just checked, Hans Zimmer, go figure.
Hey at least it's a breath of fresh air from the BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHs we've been getting recently.
