Mmmmm hmmmmm. I had known that this was going to be set in WWI and I was wondering if/hoping that they'd do a WWII sequel for her. It seemed unlikely to me because it would almost be a second origin story for her and they have to start crossing over each other's stories to build Justice League. But now I am hearing that the director (Patty Jenkins) has said that she'd like to make a 'Coming To America" movie for her. That would be cool. This movie (to me) is the best thing DC has going right now. Superman is blah because he's Superman-boring. Batman can be great with the right talent on both sides of the lens so that's a wait an see if Batffleck can deliver. Aquaman looks like it might be something. The actor comes across as badass who only barely controls is animalistic urges to plow through large groups of people who are in his way.

I don't know off the top of my head what the schedules and release dates are for JLA movies. Can they work in a WWII WW2 movie? I'd be fine if it wasn't part of the lead into JLA. If it was done to add hype to an otherwise slow spot in the movie collection, that would be fine. Again this depends on how well Battffleck can be pulled off but WW looks like the star of the show, with Batffleck and Aquaman as the next tier, Superman still hanging out there in the third tier because he's a shitty character, then all the minor players that they might want to bring in after them.

One thing: I didn't (couldn't ) pay enough attention to the other movies to authoritatively say what the timeline is for the three mains (WW, BM,SM) to be able to meet up. We have WW showing up kicking ass at the end of WWI. I assume that SM showed up somewhat recently for the first of the new films. Batffleck is already old when he's trying to build the JLA. Would it be reasonable to assume that we are watching them team up 'in the present' for the first time and that anything before that is back story to the JLA? If so...we should get a WWII version of WW. Or even a movie that extends into the Cold War and takes us to the War On Terror.
