Injustice Aquaman was actually kinda badass.
[Movies] The DC Cinematic Universe - The David Zazlav Dumpster Fire.
Slipknot, the one that's totally not going to die in order to show how tough the Big Bad will be, gets a character trailer for Suicide Squad:
No dialogue and not even 20 seconds of footage. This dude might as well be wearing a red shirt.

Either he dies to show how tough the Big Bad is, or he dies to demonstrate that Waller is serious about the bomb implants.
My money is on the bomb implant.
That is exactly what I was feeling. Not saying this can't be a good movie, not at all. But the shield on the back, the 1-vs-all fights, and the advance on the machine guns all have a very Cap feel.
Looks like it could be good. Great, even.
Shame I won't be seeing it.

On the same beat, Justice League seems to be taking Avengers cues.
Both movies look a lot more promising than BvS and I'm looking forward to them both.
I, for one, welcome our new Spider-Flash
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Not that I'm complaining. My biggest issues with Justice League are the director and the villain, but I'm trusting Ben Affleck to steer things in better directions, especially based on that footage.
I'm glad they're keeping the Wonder Woman theme that played for her in BvS; that was cool.
Wait... are you saying that the Snyderverse is on the Central Finite Curve?
I don't know how they plan to do it in the movie, but I remember her comic version being a definite heavyweight. Maybe not quite on par with Superman in terms of raw power, but definitely able to go toe to toe due to her superb combat training and magical equipment. Other heroes are vigilantes and whatnot, but she's a warrior.
Wonder Woman doesn't have the no-kill rule, but she tries very hard not to kill. In fact, she tries very hard not to fight. I don't know if I can find it, but there was a comic page that essentially showed a breakdown of her process in dealing with conflict, and violence from her is about step 3 of that. The thing about the lasso of truth is that it can help resolve conflicts without violence.
EDIT: Found it.

Oh, don't limit it like that.[DOUBLEPOST=1469376639,1469376574][/DOUBLEPOST]
She didn't even used to be able to fly. Her power level has moved around quite a bit since the 70's-80's.

So has Superman's. He didn't used to be able to fly either, and in the old days he'd struggle with stuff like big boulders, things that he could lift with his pinky finger currently.
My point was that Wonder Woman is bothering to fight those soldiers because she doesn't want to kill them, nor does she want to give them no-kill Daredevil level of head injuries and permanent disabilities.
For everyone's reading displeasure, here are some fun things I found why perusing the #wonder woman tag on Tumblr:
- Why is the movie not coming out until 2017 if they already have a trailer? (Zero understanding of how movies are made)
- Why does Wonder Woman have a male sidekick? And don't say it's source material, that doesn't matter because there has to be representation. (????)
- They set it in WWI because really WWI and WWII were one big war that never ended. (Ignoring the Versailles Treaty, League of Nations drama, Germany and the rest of the world's social and economic changes, all over the course of several years between separate conflicts with very different beginnings and endings for wholly distinct reasons these goddamn kids these days)
- They should recast Gal Gadot with Gina Torres and reshoot the whole movie. (Uh-huh.)
- Why is Wonder Woman white when she's supposed to be from South America? (Because she's ... an Amazonian! From the Amazon, in South America, CLEARLY.)
- If you're excited for Wonder Woman, it's because you're giving in to Jewish world takeover. (Because Gal Gadot is from Israel)

Skimpier costumes? Me too. Getting pulled over should remind me of my bachelorette party.
Just as long as we never see what's under their skirts.
And he grew up in an orphanage where his super-abilities SOMEHOW managed to go unreported for years. Yeah, that's the Golden Age for ya.
I legitimately LOL'd at this one.

I fear this would encourage me to get pulled over. Often. "Was I speeding again, Officer Tightbuns..Er, Thompson?! Ooops!"
Heavily into bondage?
Sure, why not?

So, there's lightning every time the Flash uses his powers, even just a short little dodge move? How the hell does he have any working computers left in his life?
Plus "I need friends".... Barry Allen, the most human of super heroes, is awkward and socially isolated? Bullshit. You can't be perpetually late for social engagements if you have no one to be social with. You can't be worried about losing your humanity if you don't have any human connections to lose. This premise undercuts the heart of the character. No wonder they didn't want Grant Gustin for the part.
I haven't been paying close attention to her in the past few years, but when did Zatanna become Silk Spectre? Or rather, since when is she a character who "no one is happy when [she] shows up"?
And if these guys are the League that deals with magical threats how come no Dr Fate?
