Ten years after her first DCAU DTV, Wonder Woman returns in an all-new adventure, "Wonder Woman: Bloodlines".
An updated, abridged version of the origin is told, as Diana (Rosario Dawson, ex-Luke Cage, The Defenders, etc.) leave Themyscira, disowned by her mother after freeing Steve Trevor (Jeffrey Donovan, ex-Burn Notice), in order to thwart an alien invasion.
Five years later, a new threat arises, involving some familiar enemies of the Amazing Amazon. Familiar, at least, to long time comics fans. IGN offers a trailer:
Much of the film is built around reimagined versions of some of the characters, including Etta Candy (Adrienne C. Moore, Orange is The New Black), who was flipped to African-American under writer Greg Rucka. Having seen Ms. Moore's picture, I'm guessing the design for Etta in the movie might partially be based on the actress herself.
One of the funnier bits involves the use of a minotaur (Michael Dorn), who eventually joins Diana's team. That's all I'm going to say for right now. Meanwhile, some genius decided to give Trevor a beard, designed such that you'd be forgiven if Steve was mistaken for Oliver Queen....!
Rating: A.
