So, in DC's defense, they can still make something of their universe. There may have been others, but those are the major ones that pop to mind. They released some truly awful movies in the 90s, like Captain America in 1990 and The Fantastic Four in 94, which was so bad that it hasn't been released yet. Marvel was playing catch-up to DC in the era following Batman's successful release. DC characters were the first to make the transition from comic to successful major motion pictures with Superman (in 1978) and Batman (in 1989). But, at the same time, DC wasn't always a point of mockery. Rome wasn't built in a day and DC has attempted to build Rome (with its extended universe) in 20 minutes. It can't be all at once, it has to be done little by little. DC hasn't had the same patience, as they're following the same template without understanding why it worked in the first place. I don't know how much money the MCU has raked in for Disney (and this is counting merchandising, DVD sales and other forms of revenue), but it has to be a multi-billion dollar franchise for Disney. The thing about Marvel is that they knew they couldn't rush things, they had to slowly plant the seeds for something bigger and, now, you see that that patience has paid off immensely.

That's why you see them bumbling and fumbling major movies, because they know they have to catch up, since Marvel has, pretty much had a monopoly on this superhero movie business since Iron Man came out in 2008. Here's the thing though, before I get to Wonder Woman, and I've mentioned this a lot, but DC Comics is essentially playing catch-up with Marvel.

Elektra and Catwoman both sucked and Marvel, since their ascent, wasted their chance to be first in this race by not doing a Black Widow movie. Wonder Woman was the only shining beacon of hope in the horizon, the chance to (finally) do a female superhero movie right. Of the movies in this universe, the only one I've seen was Suicide Squad, which, while decent, wasn't good and squandered its potential. DC has done a poor job at building its own extended universe so, once again, I had no interest in the Justice League movie. DC, in my opinion, made the wrong choice to keep Batman dark and brooding after The Dark Knight Trilogy so, again, I had no real interest in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice outside of maybe seeing Wonder Woman. I find Superman to be interminably boring, so I had no interest (outside of Michael Shannon) in seeing Man of Steel. Though, to be fair, after The Dark Knight Trilogy (THE best superhero trilogy bar none), I haven't kept up with any of DC's efforts to create its own massive universe. You don't know how long I've been waiting to say those words.
Rating: PG-13 (Sequences of Violence|Action|Some Suggestive Content)īefore I start with my thoughts on this and everything surrounding, let me just say that, FINALLY, the DC Extended Universe gets one right with this movie.
