** The first officially released photograph of the Amazons drew some criticism for having nothing but white women. Afterwards, some set photos and behind-the-scenes pictures of the actresses playing the other Amazons were released, showing that they will be racially diverse like in the comics.

** After Film/ManOfSteel'' came out, but before ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' did, some fans were complaining that DC was too scared to branch out with a character like Wonder Woman while Marvel was busy [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy making a movie about a walking tree and a gun-toting raccoon]]. Shortly afterward, it was announced that Wonder Woman would be in the ''Man of Steel'' sequel. Later, this movie was announced to be in production (along with a number of other untested properties), and it would arrive long before Marvel's first female-led movie, ''Captain Marvel'' (which, ironically, has already been delayed multiple times).

It says quite clearly on the page for And The Fandom Rejoiced not to link to it. It is for in-universe examples and links from the descriptions at the beginning of related trope pages only. And that's not getting into the fact that this example isn't indented properly.


* AndTheFandomRejoiced
** This film existing, as both Wonder Woman's long overdue first solo film and the first live action film starring a female superhero, is this to female superhero fans. Finally, this is happening. And it's going to be awesome.

* BrokenBase: There are people who dislike that this movie is going to be (at least partly) a period piece as opposed to being set in the modern day. Others note that Wonder Woman will end up in the present with the ''Justice League'' movies and the potential sequels, and also feel that it's a great way to introduce Wonder Woman while giving some much-needed cinematic focus to World War I (and the suffragette movement).

** Some people dislike her origin story being pushed back to World War I instead of World War II due to her real-world roots as a CaptainPatriotic hero from the latter possibly clashing with America's lesser role in the former. Others welcome the World War I setting since it makes the movie unique for its genre and uncommon for movies in general (see above). Plus everyone admits that keeping the World War II setting would just invite even more direct comparisons to ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger''.



* WinTheCrowd: When Gal Gadot was cast as Wonder Woman in ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', responses were mixed, to say the least. Even with the trailers of that movie briefly showing her in action, some weren't convinced. Then early footage of her solo film was shown on a DC television special and much of the doubt placed upon her was erased. People were further won over with her performance in ''Dawn Of Justice'', which is generally seen as a highlight even by that movie's detractors.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Is facing this hurdle due to being a prequel to ''Film/BatmanvSupermanDawnofJustice''. It's set during WWI, just about every mortal character that Diana befriends is going to die before the present day and Wonder Woman will eventually let her sword rust out of disillusionment towards humanity.

* HilariousInHindsight: Marvel's habit of casting men called Chris as heroes (such as with Creator/ChrisEvans, Creator/ChrisHemsworth and Creator/ChrisPratt in the roles of Captain America, Thor and Star-Lord respectively) was sometimes played with by fans adding a fourth Chris, Pine being one often thrown into the mix for a potential future Marvel role.
