From an overall pop culture perspective, Wonder Woman is undoubtedly the biggest superheroine-led movie ever, and in an industry where it’s harder to find genre stories led by female protagonists, the tale of Diana of Themyscira’s time protecting mankind in World War I will surely influence how similar content is handled in the future.
Make no mistake, Wonder Woman is an important movie; not just for the DCEU, but for the superhero movie genre and pop culture in general.
From the DCEU side, it’s a fresh chance for the franchise to provide a story that earn more positive reception from both critics and regular moviegoers, something that last year’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad had trouble doing.
