Let’s move away for Supergirl for a sec, as I bring you news on a much more beloved DC heroine:

We also got this image which looks to have Plastic Man and Static Shock?

Curious how this will pan out, especially seeing as it seems like they finally got the ability to mess around with Amethyst again and maybe follow up her DC shorts, please…

So long as it’s not set in the Harley Quinn universe, I am cautiously curious. Not sold yet. Just Waiting to hear if it will be good or not. The coin is in the air.

In the first Wonder Woman movie, Patty Jenkins did a great job directing her. Most of her dialogue comes from a character who exudes optimism and naivete, and Diana was a "fish out of water" type character, which works great for a foreign actress in a big blockbuster movie for Western audiences.

Which makes me ask the question: What happened? Patty did fine in the first movie. What changed? From what I heard, Patty had less supervision. Thus, everything can be blamed on her.

Plas... Maybe.
Uniform makes me think Elongated Man.

Those googles are definitely Plastic Man, not to mention the belt piece and hairdo.

Yeah, I guess they would want to change his uniform.
His regular one is... Questionable.

To my knowledge, a lot of the first Wonder Woman movie was blueprinted by Zack Snyder's ideas. By the time WW84 was being made, Snyder was already out of the picture of the DCEU, and Patty Jenkins' only knowledge of Wonder Woman was clearly just the Lynda Carter show.

Don't get me wrong, a lighthearted romp of a Wonder Woman movie like the Lynda Carter show wouldn't be unwelcomed from me ... But oh my goodness is it ever tonal whiplash from the first movie and the rest of the DCEU. Also, the screenplay sucks a big one, and the movie is too damn long!

It's actually amazing how WW84 torpedoed Patty Jenkins' career. She's doing absolutely nothing these days. Perhaps she is just the kind of filmmaker who works best with other people's ideas and material. Given total control, we get disasters like WW84.

By the way, Zack Snyder is an interesting filmmaker. A lot of the movies he writes and directs are shit, but in my opinion, the man has a lot of good ideas for movies. Sucker Punch, for example ... I see what the man was going for in that movie ... But the execution is a muddled and nonsensical mess. But ... An effort was made. lol.

Then we have the first Wonder Woman movie. It was Snyder's ideas with a competent filmmaker, and it's a legit good movie. Zack Snyder should really just be a dude who pitches his movies to studios and has other people make them for him.

I could buy Snyder had a lot of say in the movie. But the one thing that makes me doubt he should get that much credit is the fact that the first Wonder Woman movie is just too idealistic to be his.

For example, the whole “I believe in love” speech is too traditional and too idealistic, to be something that came from the man that wanted to deconstruct superheroes. It’s just not his style. Perhaps it was a joint effort. My guess is that he brought the ideas and she kept the heart.
