CONCLUSION
Fans of Wonder Woman have been waiting for over a decade to see her
on the big screen. A litany of superhero films have come and gone in that
time, with several of these films spawning sequels and franchises that are
among the most successful in film history. Since 2001, when Wonder
Woman first went into development, over 35 superhero films have been
released, with nary a tiara or bullet-deflecting bracelet in sight.
With the recent boom of female driven entertainment on television, viewers
have shown that projects centered on female characters can not only
succeed but thrive, and recent summer blockbuster seasons have proven
that superheroes have never been more popular or more profitable. Nearly
a dozen more superhero films are slated for release in the next two years,
and still Wonder Woman remains without a script, director, or release date.
What is even more maddening is that there is simply no good reason for
this to happen. Sure, the excuses are piling up, but each and every one of
them has been found to be without merit. Wonder Woman is one of the
most iconic superheroes in history, and whatever the reason for Wonder
Womanʼs delay, itʼs time for the excuses to stop.
For over a decade, Wonder Woman fans have been asking, “Why No
Wonder Woman?” Well, the time for asking is over. Now is the time to
demand, “We Want Wonder Woman!” and we want her NOW.
