Wonder Woman: Every Gal Gadot DC movie ranked worst to best

1. Wonder Woman

While Wonder Woman has been a part of several animated series, this was the first time she received a theatrically released live-action solo film. It had a lot riding on it after the disappointing releases of Man of Steel and Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice, but it surprised everyone by being one of the best and most memorable projects in the DCEU.

It sees Diana, a warrior living on the hidden island of Themyscira, rescue Steve Trevor, a pilot who crashlands there and inadvertently brings a bunch of German soldiers after him. After learning about World War I, Diana decides to leave Themyscira with Trevor to help end the war, which she believes is caused and can be stopped by defeating the Greek God, Ares.

As the film progresses, the optimistic Diana slowly realizes the truth about humanity. Although the third act does actively work against the themes of the movie and ends in a giant CGI battle, the first two are filled with some of the best moments we’ve gotten from the genre. The film was also monumental due to the lack of female-led superhero films, paving the way for other projects, like Captain Marvel and Birds of Prey, that would follow.
