Warner Bros: This is how you make a Wonder Woman movie
Warner Snows: Bastards of DC franchise. They know nothing. That was my reaction when I saw this. Warner Brothers doesn’t know how to make a Wonder Woman film work?
This short from Rainfall Films is a good start:

This Wonder Woman fan film has been lighting the Internet on fire (which is tricky logistically) this week. Can a Wonder Woman movie really work? How badly does WB hate themselves for turning down Joss Whedon’s pitch to make a Wonder Woman movie ten years ago? I don’t think there’s any super hero out there that’s going to be harder to modernize and make popular-even in this age of super hero movies-than Wonder Woman.
There’s some mostly-good production values to this. But that’s about all it has going for it.
Look, when you’re making a fake trailer, you need to show how the movie would actually work. A weak fight scene against four random thugs, and a REALLY girly spear throw, doesn’t do that. The truth is, this is NOT how you make a Wonder Woman movie. You make a Wonder Woman movie by coming up with a good story (this video has no story), good characterization (this video has no characterization), and good action sequences (this video has no good action sequences). If this were a trailer for a real Wonder Woman movie, it would make me less excited about the movie, because it’s really, really stupid.
And man, that spear throw was SUCH a girl throw. Wonder Woman should not throw like a girl.
I know this might be a controversial opinion, but if I were trying to resurrect this character, the first thing I would do is completely redesign the suit. I wouldn’t tweak it, I wouldn’t update it for a modern audience, I would redesign it from top to bottom. I would keep NOTHING the same. If she looks the part, if she looks REALLY cool, audiences will accept her.
