In the trailer, it looks like it's set during WWI, so her battling and possibly killing people, I would put on the same level as Captain America in his first film.<br /><br />As for killing, as a superhero, she had a no-kill policy like Batman and Superman, a policy she very famously broke in a massive DC comic event about a decade or so ago when the JLA was facing off against an enemy who could control people's minds. He had control over Superman and was forcing him to battle the rest of the JLA. Knowing that there would be casualties and the potential for a lot of collateral damage, she did was Superman did at the end of Man of Steel (the movie basically ripped off this moment from the comics in that scene).Mark Violahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284092488947251126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-13167146179722469262016-07-25T19:50:21.355-07:002016-07-25T19:50:21.355-07:00Yeah this is more in line with comics in terms of ...Yeah this is more in line with comics in terms of action and violence.

They did fight and there were casualties.<br /><br />Wonder Woman's problem after the creator died and she was melded into the DC world, is they did not know quit what to do with her. How strong is she? (and why oh why did they make her fly) There was even the time when she lost her strength.<br /><br />Wonder Woman was created in response to women going into the workplace in WWII. The movie happenning in WWI I am curious to see. One comment about the movie is Diana asked "why aren't we helping men?" They are not worth it. WWI, really what was everybody fighting for? <br /><br /><br />Mrs. Widgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574837619339009800noreply@blogger.com
