Wonder Woman 3: What we need from the DCEU movie (and what we don’t)
By Mark Lynch
More Amazons
There have been a few journeys to Themyscira in recent DC Comics movies. Through that we’ve seen how courageous, smart, and battle ready the Amazon warriors are. As tough as they are, though, we haven’t seen the best of them.
There are two Amazons in particular that could make a splash in Wonder Woman 3. First, there’s Artemis of Bana-Mighdall. She’s this writer’s personal favorite. She may not live on Themyscira, but she’s an Amazon and she carries a giant axe. Seeing her come to life in love-action would be great
Then you have Nubia – Wonder Woman’s sister, who was also sculpted from clay at the same time as Diana. She’s the current DC Comics Wonder Woman, who took up the role after Diana disappeared. Her series debuts in October 2021.
If either of them are used, we would probably get one heck of a fight before they eventually team up. If that does happen, DC Comics could make either of them the successor to the Wonder Woman franchise. They have the personality and skill to be the heir to the W.W. franchise.
Turn up the brightness
The first two Wonder Woman movies were dark. Not just in tone, but visually as well. Sure, there were parts that looked bright and brilliant. The beginning of WW84 is a good example. The mall was well lit, the stores were colorful, and it was easy to see all of the action. As the movie continued, however, it was as if someone kept turning down the brightness.
It’s okay for the project to be colorful. It personifies who Wonder Woman is and doesn’t take away from the seriousness of whatever story the film will tackle. Speaking of which…
