They might not be lagging behind when it comes to battling super-powered enemies or criminals in comparison to their male colleagues, but, when it comes to female superheroes, they have failed to get the ideal stories, direction and screen presence in the movies. On the rare occasions when they do get an opportunity, they are still not able to fully depict their prowess with the superpowers. That is the situation which makes the Wonder Woman film such a massive thing because here was a film that gave a woman an opportunity to rise and shine, and that lady did succeeded in doing that.

While the character of Wonder Woman was first introduced on the big screen in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, it was her solo film that truly established her as a front-line superhero. After she impressed the fans with her confident and brave handling of the situation along with the two biggest comic book superheroes ever: Batman and Superman, the Wonder Woman solo totally blew the fans away.
