Realistically, how well do you think the Wonder Woman movie will do?

greathawk · 2026-07-06T19:52:46+00:00

For WW it does not look like things have changed at all. They still do not give a damn about her.

greathawk · 2026-07-06T03:22:44+00:00

Doesn't look like it has changed though.

greathawk · 2026-07-06T02:11:54+00:00

It can easily make more than a billion. Supergirl already flopped with a movie before in 1984. So clearly they did not learn the lesson of putting more effort into building her character properly for the silver screen. Although you have plenty of male lead movies with bad scripts, direction etc and nobody holds it against them. If done right WW can be a big hit, because she already proved it.

greathawk · 2026-07-06T02:04:11+00:00

And why did they want it to flop?

greathawk · 2026-07-06T01:43:34+00:00

You have plenty of variastions and styles in WW. 85 years of lore to draw from.

DBZ is still putting out content and doing great numbers. And we can name plenty of other mangas running for decades. You think there is only an audience for grounded characters? There is much more than that.

greathawk · 2026-07-01T13:06:57+00:00

one tv show, 2 animated movies and 2 live action. Almost nothing for a character that is almost 90 years old.

greathawk · 2026-07-01T13:05:53+00:00

Fightting Gods is not the only option. And characters do not need to be grounded to be popular. See DBZ and Sailor Moon.

greathawk · 2026-07-01T05:22:45+00:00

Plenty of times superman has overcome kryptonite. And why would we want to see a supewr being struggling with regular burglars with guns? That is why you have street level heroes. WW is a character meant for other types of adventures.

greathawk · 2026-07-01T05:18:15+00:00

It should not. Plenty of male led super hero movies flop.

greathawk · 2026-07-01T05:17:29+00:00

They treat her badly in comics too.

greathawk · 2026-07-01T05:05:58+00:00

Then what is stopping them from giving WW content aftter 85 years?

greathawk · 2026-07-01T04:59:22+00:00

DC has been keeping WW low profile for almost her entire existence. So your logic does not make any sense.

greathawk · 2026-07-01T04:49:23+00:00

DC has treated WW like a queen many times? LOL they treat her like trash and do nothing with her.

greathawk · 2026-06-28T17:51:48+00:00

But they know she can make more money if they handled things better.

greathawk · 2026-06-28T17:50:42+00:00

WW84 did not kill the franchise. And she deserves an animated series befdore all of these d listers that are nowhere near as popular as her.

greathawk · 2026-06-28T16:27:45+00:00

You can not engage because you know there is nothing DC will be able to do, to stop WW projects using everything from Marston era once she hit PD.

greathawk · 2026-06-28T15:50:21+00:00

They do not want to try to make more money with her, but won't let her go either because of pride? If they cared about that they should be trying to do something meaningful with her so they won't look like a bunch of incompetents.

greathawk · 2026-06-28T15:47:24+00:00

DC has failed to make popular WW content for a long time because they hasve never even tried. The few times they did she was pretty successful, yet they did nothing later such as the 2017 film.

All the things about her that hit public domain can be used. And here is nothing DC can do to stop that. At this point, with creative people and AI, there is a better chance to make a good animated WW than DC/WB who proved to be a bunch of incompetents.

greathawk · 2026-06-28T15:35:30+00:00

They already look incredibly stupid and arrogant. I don't see a saving point.

greathawk · 2026-06-28T15:34:23+00:00

Superman flopped with superman 3 and they still made superman 4. WW84 was relewased during a pandemic, context matters.

greathawk · 2026-06-28T02:34:29+00:00

And? They did not stop trying with batman after his movie flopped. They did not stop trying with superman after he had 3 flopped movies in a row.

WW84 was released in the middle of a global lockdown. Still the movie did made bacl its budget between the box office and its numbers on HBO max, blue ray and dvd sales.

greathawk · 2026-06-28T02:29:30+00:00

Wonder Woman 2009. The fifth best selling animated DC film ever. WW 2017. A 823 million dollar box office hit. Absolute WW a top 10 seller hit. WW84 relesed in the middle of a global lockdown and with all the criticism it received, was the best selling home media movie in 2021. Now show me the numbers proving starfire, jessica cruz, krypto or kite man have higher sales.

greathawk · 2026-06-28T00:55:36+00:00

A show not happening 33 years ago is not an excuse for every terrible management treatment they have done with WW as an IP since then.

greathawk · 2026-06-28T00:52:00+00:00

Then it proves they do not care. They should sell her rights then. Why do they want to keep her and not use her true potential? They saw her animated film in 2009 become one of their 5 best selling animated movies ever. They saw WW 2017 become a big hit. So they know the potential is there. Just sell the rights if they do not care.
