I've been keeping my fingers crossed that it would be good. I've had a soft spot for WW since I was a kid when the show was on - I've always wanted that lasso of truth.

I thought the actress, Gal Gadot, had potential from Dawn of Justice. I don't think DC can completely recover from its poor casting choice for Superman though. Also they have to switch to the real Lex Luthor being Jesse Eisenberg character's father. Ben Affleck is ok as Batman (nothing to write home about).

I think Jason Momoa has the potential to own Aquaman.

The actor playing Flash - wait and see, but I am not impressed. The Arrowverse Barry Allen would have been better.

I always think of Cyborg as a Teen Titan. I would have preferred a John Stewart Green Lantern.

I don't think I would have used Flash in JLA given his presence in the Arrowverse. They should have gone with Green Lantern instead.

of Wonder Woman (1975-79). Carter and show's director & writers were magnificent in presenting an empowered young woman. Will this current movie replace my fondness of Linda Carter? I'm asking my daughters to take their father and mother to see Wonder Woman 2017.

but I've been burned so much by the modern DCEU that I refuse to spend my money on it. Man of Steel, Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad were all snoozefests. Zack Snyder isn't directing WW, so there's hope, but he's still got his grubby hands in it.

Now, DC Animated films? Those are incredible.
